What Are You Supposed To Think About While Meditating?
It is important to understand that meditation helps people let go of their thoughts, not to start thinking of nothing. In the west, people learn to think about nothing during meditation, but that is not the goal. The goal is to embrace the silence after thoughts come and go. Once you have reached this level of meditation, you can connect to yourself and enjoy the sense of calm and relief. If you want to meditate, don’t worry about how to start and if you are doing it right. Just sit and watch your thoughts come and go. You mustn’t follow them or analyze them. Just let them go and embrace the calmness. This takes practice and patience!.
What do you think about while meditating?
I have been meditating for close to two decades now and have been asked this question many times. There are many different kinds of meditations that can be practised.

How do I know if I’m meditating correctly?
Deep meditative states are characterized by 4 things: 1. Relaxedness 2. Happiness 3. Calmness 4. Concentration. If you are relaxed, happy, calm and focused, then you are probably meditating correctly. However, do note that you will not feel all of these immediately. Deep meditation is the result of thousands of hours of practice. If you are just starting out, don’t expect to have deep concentration or have experienced the various stages of meditation. Just do your best and hopefully these 3 things will start to feel more natural over time..

Meditation is quite effective for relaxing the body and the mind. It helps you de-stress, improves your mental clarity, and reduces anxiety & stress.

It is best to meditate lying down, but after some time, you will be able to meditate while sitting as well as standing. That said, there are a few things you should not do. A lot of people make the mistake of thinking that meditation is a religion. If you feel any pressure from someone to convert to a religion, be sure to walk away from the guru.

How do you truly meditate?
Truly meditating requires shutting out the distractions of the world for an extended period of time. If you truly want to clear your mind, make your bedroom a “no phone” zone. The bedroom is your own sacred place, free from any work or distractions, that is where you can truly meditate. Keep your bedroom quiet, dark, and relatively cool. If you can keep noise to a minimum, you will find that your mind will be clearer and calmer. The only gear you need to truly meditate is a soft, well-padded chair. Now, sit in your chair and close your eyes. Simply focus on your breathing, and try not to think about the next thing you will do after meditation. Breathe slowly, and feel each breath. Try not to let your thoughts drift. When they do, refocus on your breathing. It is an extremely simple way to free your mind from distractions and from the stresses of the day..

How do you go deep in meditation?
Well, meditation is a very simple process, yet very difficult at the same time. There are several ways to go deep in meditation but here are 3 techniques which I’ve personally tried and proved to be very useful. 1) Meditation takes time to start seeing the results. But if you are determined to see them, then you will see them. So start by meditating for 10 to 15 minutes every day. 2) Be completely relaxed during your meditation. You can use props like pillows or blankets, but you need to feel relaxed. The clearer the mind, the deeper the meditation. 3) If you want to go deep under the meditation, then you need to go deep under the sleep. The best way to do this is by using an app. I recommend the app called Insight Timer. Insight Timer is available on Android, iOS, web and Windows. I also recommend using Binaural Beats to fall asleep..
Can I meditate with my eyes open?
You can meditate with your eyes open if you want to, but chances are it will result in a quick abandonment of the practice.

This is not an easy task as your mind is always active and is ready to go on a tangent just as you sit down to meditate. Meditation requires you to be totally present and focused. Sounds easy, but can be challenging. Most people find their minds running a million miles a minute and thoughts continuously popping up and vying for attention..
