How To Use Meditation To Deal With Stress

By Jennifer Johnson Leave a Comment

Have you been hearing a lot about meditation helping you to deal with stress? If you have, then you probably know that this is one way that many experts are recommending people who live a high anxiety, stressful-filled life, to learn how to de-stress, stay centered and be mentally healthy. If it sounds like you could use a little meditation in your life to help you stay mentally sharp and stress free, then you will need a few pointers before you get started.

Meditation For Stress

Meditation is a way to clear your mind of all that is bothering you and focus on calming yourself. Meditation helps to deal with stress in your life. This practice has been used for thousands of years and still is by monks, martial artists and many people who just want to be better at living their lives.

It is thought that by clearing the mind and focusing on calm and centeredness, we can tap into the parts of the brain that are otherwise unused and gain strength, energy and even healing powers. While you may be interested in only easing your anxiety, it’s good to know the potential power of meditation.

Find A Quiet Area To Meditate

This is the first step of meditation because it is the all important center of everything. When you are looking for your quiet area, you need to make sure that you will not be disturbed and that there are minimal outside noises to affect your concentration. If you have people talking to you or can hear noises such as the television or radio, it can be more difficult to concentrate on your task. So, make sure you are in a nice quiet space with no interruptions.

It’s All About The Positioning

When you’re starting out, don’t lie down because you might fall asleep. Instead, try to sit upright, in a lotus position, which will help to keep you from falling asleep. Keep your back straight and calm your breathing. You can rest your hands in your lap, but don’t touch them together. Let them relax separately from one another.

Breathe Deeply and Relax Your Mind

One great way to help your body to relax and to relax your mind from all stress is to practice the proper breathing techniques. Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth. Much as you would when you’re doing yoga, you should imagine that each breath is relaxing and cleansing you. This might be difficult at first, but stick with it, this type of breathing will become second nature to you soon, especially as you are meditating to deal with stress levels.

Close your eyes. Concentrate on your breathing and watch what your mind throws at you. Focus on the images that your mind is sending your way without letting them upset or worry you. These are the images that your brain, or mind sees as problems. Let them flash in front of you until they run out (yes, at some point, your mind will empty itself of worries). When you reach that blank quiet space in your mind, you should sit there for a bit, just enjoying the silence.

Once you’re able to reach the “quiet place” in your mind, you will be able to focus on that which troubles you and find a way to heal your anxieties and stress. Once you have reached a solution for your problems and are back in your normal life, stick to the solutions that you have come up with during meditation. If you take the time to practice meditation, you will likely find that it gets easier each time you do it, so keep practicing and see how stress free you’re able to feel.
