Meditation
Most of you who read this know and do regular mediation. For those who don’t yet I put a description about a simple meditation below. Many people associate meditation with guided visualizations and imaginary practices designed to help one relax, achieve goals, and create specific results. This is certainly one form of meditative practice. But the oldest methods of meditation are much simpler, and have less to do with visualizing. undisturbed will do. Note that you can meditate anywhere (literally!), but it's great to have a regular place to go for your daily meditation practice.
 
You can also read this and more at Knol a source for creating knowledge. The article from Timothy Aaron Whiston I used you can find here:  http://knol.google.com/k/timothy-aaron-whiston/how-to-meditate/37xfayio16usy/2#
There you can find also other stuff about meditation or whatever. Remember that you already know everything, so while reading listen to your heart and feel what resonates with your soul. This means it's true for you.
 
Also important is exercising to be in the Here-and-Now. Everything manifests only in the NOW. You can only do something in the NOW. You can only be in your strength in the NOW and not in the past and not in the future.  You can do this separately without the basic meditation described further down or after the meditation, when you’re relaxed. The tric is to sit relaxed with your eyes open and one by one add your senses into awareness. First see in front what you see and consciously be aware what you see. Then hear what you hear concioussly add this to your awareness. Then feel what you feel. Feel the chair, the wind or whatever. Then add smelling. Take a deep breath through your nose and smell what you are smelling. Finally add taste by concentrating on what it tastes like whatever is in your mouth. This exercise is simple and will put you right in the Here-and-Now.
 
Have fun reading and meditating. Much love and light,

How To Meditate
The first thing you should do is identify a quiet, comfortable area you can use for your meditation. A favorite room or section of your yard/garden is ideal, but any place you can be alone and undisturbed will do. Note that you can meditate anywhere (literally!), but it's great to have a regular place to go for your daily meditation practice.
 
The second thing you should do is identify a span of time in which you can be absolutely undisturbed by phones, kids, your spouse, work, or anything else in the known universe. Things come up of course, but in the beginning you need to establish ideal circumstances, and this includes a 10 to 20 minute block of time when you can be completely alone* and undisturbed.
* It's worth pointing out here that if you have a mate, you may find the meditation experience is somewhat enhanced when the two of you meditate together. In this event you will of course ignore the reference to being alone.
When the time comes to meditate, I suggest you wear comfortable clothes. You may also need a small pillow for your seated position, so have one handy just in case.
 
You may wish to use a timer for your meditation session. This is an easy way to mark a specific period of time, such as 10 to 20 minutes.
 
Basic Meditation For Beginners
Once you are in your chosen, comfortable place and free from distractions,you should allow your body to relax as much as possible. Release the tension in your shoulders and neck, letting this part of your body sink a bit. Then release the tension in your hips, lower back, and thighs. Keep your spine as straight as you can, but do not strain or push; just be aware of your back and let it straighten out.
 
For this basic meditation you will assume a seated position. You can either sit on the edge of a sturdy wooden or metal chair, or you can sit cross-legged on the ground.
 
If you choose a chair be sure to use the edge and avoid leaning into the back. Your spine needs to be upright and free from the support of the chair.
 
If you sit cross-legged on the ground, feel free to place a small pillow at the base of your spine to reduce the strain and allow you to sit up straight without any tension. This position is ideal, because it gives you the sense of being more "rooted" into the ground.
 
Once seated, rest your hands on the tops of your thighs; your right hand will sit on your right thigh and vice versa. If you naturally want to allow your palms to face upwards, do so. If it feels right to turn your palms down flat against your legs, do this. After your hands are placed, be sure once again that your back is straight up and down, and that your spine feels centered between your left and right hips.
 
To recap, when you are ready to meditate you should...

Find a comfortable room.
Wear comfortable clothers.
Set aside time in which you will not be disturbed.
Relax your shoulders, hips, neck, back, and legs.
Sit with your spine straight.
Rest your hands naturally on your legs; right hand on right thigh and vice versa.
Double check your spine, assuring it is straight up and down and centered over your pelvis.

When you are comfortably in position, take note of any tension in the muscles of your back, neck, arms, shoulders, legs, and elsewhere. Feel the tension for just a moment, then relax your entire body.
~ Close your eyes.
~ See the darkness of your eyelids.
~ Count silently backwards from 10 to 1.
~ When you run out of numbers, allow your mind to rest in the emptiness.
~ Sink your awareness deep into your abdomen and find your breathing.
 
Become Aware Of The Rythm Of Your Breath And Watch It In The Darkness.
Do not interfere with your breathing.
Do not alter the rythm of your breath.
Make no effort to breathe more deeply or to take longer breaths.
Just Be Aware Of Your Breathing And Continue To Watch It.
 
When you catch yourself trying to control your breath simply let go. Return your awareness to the emptiness and peace that comes naturally and begin watching your breathing once more.
 
When thoughts enter your mind acknowledge them, and then let them go. Return your awareness back to your breathing and let yourself relax.
 
When you begin to feel tension in your neck, shoulders, back, hips, or anywhere else in your body, acknowledge it and then let go. Return your awareness to your breathing and relax once more.
 
Allow The Breath To Move Into And Out From Your Lungs Naturally. 
 
Focus your full and relaxed attention on your breathing. Be completely present in the moment as the air moves slowly into your lungs, filling them to a comfortable point, and is then pushed back out by the muscles in your diaphragm.
 
An ideal meditation period is 15 to 20 minutes long. In the beginning you may wish to start with 10 minutes, and even as little as 3 minutes can produce notable benefits.
 
To recap, the basic meditation being taught here is as follows...
 

Sit in a comfortable position in a quiet room.
Your body is relaxed, and your eyes are closed.
Your sole activity is remaining aware of your breathing.
You are not to force or control your breath in any way.
Your mind should be allowed to rest in a thoughtless state.
As thoughts enter your mind, you acknowledge them and let them go.
Once a thought is released you return your awareness to your breathing.
When you feel tension rise in your muscles, simply release it.
Once tension is released, you return your awareness to your breathing.
It may help to realize you are an observer in this meditation exercise.

With practice, your awareness will increase and you will be able to have the experience of literally stepping back from yourself and watching both your breathing and your state of silent awareness. This may feel like you are observing yourself in the same way you would watch another person.
 
If you have set a timer, the bell will alert you when the meditation period has ended. If you are not using a timer, simply watch your breath for as long as you comfortably can.
 
Your body will tell you when it is finished if you practice without a timer. At some point it will become impossible to remain relaxed and you will naturally exit the meditative state.
 
It's possible you will feel a deep sense of peace and/or exhilaration after meditating. Even if you do not notice immediate results, you are certain to experience the full spectrum of positive benefits over time if you continue to meditate.
 
Many people who have been practicing meditation long-term will tell you the best choice they ever made in life was learning how to meditate. Because meditation is a highly experiential practice, nobody can tell you exactly how you will feel during and after your sessions.
 
The practice outlined above is very safe. And if you meditate regularly I honestly don't believe it's possible to avoid receiving numerous benefits.
 
However if you have any existing health issues you may wish to ask your doctor before beginning. And if you experience any discomfort, confusion, or pain during meditation you should contact your doctor right away.
