Meditating on Your Dreadlocks

Meditate in the morning to feed the mind with positive affirmations and thoughts for a successful day.  In the evenings, it's a great tool to help you release stress from a busy or hectic day.

 There is no one absolute way to meditate because it depends on the individual's lifestyle.  Try different ways (use candles, relaxing music, bubble baths, reclining chair, etc.) until you find one that works for you.  All it takes is patience and practice, practice, practice.  Also, several wonderful books are available at your local library or bookstore.

People who practice daily mediation have improved their spirituality, reduced stress, better organized their thoughts, improved concentration, remembered more, and have more energy.  Plan to set aside five to twenty minutes everyday for meditation. 

The following method is simple, effective, and not too time consuming.  Before meditating, make sure you understand the following directions.  Of most importance, you must not be disturbed or distracted during your meditating session. 

When you first start meditating, all types of things will be going through your mind.  Do not worry if you are doing it correctly or not.  With time and patience, you will learn to quiet your mind and concentrate on the process of inner peace and calmness. 

If you need assistance or a better understanding of the process, take a class.    Find information in the yellow pages or the newspaper.  Also, check with your local community college, natural foods store, or bookstores for those who teach meditation as well. 

The following basic procedure is easy to learn and practice:

1. Practice meditation daily for at least thirty to sixty minutes.
    

2. Find a quiet place in the house or on your job where you won't be disturbed.  Let everyone know.  Put a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door to re-enforce your need for privacy. 
    

3. Sit upright in a comfortable chair or sit cross-legged if this works better for you.  Hold your head up, close your eyes, and concentrate on relaxing your entire body.  Try not to think about anything but total relaxation.
    

4. Once you are comfortable, take deep breaths and count backward slowly from number ten.  With each breath, you are becoming increasingly mentally relaxed, until you reach the number one. 
    

5. Use progressive relaxation to relax your entire body.  Imagine a warm, tingly feeling moving slowly and systematically up your body from your toes all the way to the very top of your head.  Repeat for every part of your body until you are fully relaxed.
    

6. Once you are completely relaxed, many thoughts will pass through your mind.  Do not stop the flow or concentrate on any thought.  Your mind is getting rid of all the thoughts that are causing stress in your life. 
    

7. Let yourself and your emotions go.  After a few moments, you will feel a sense of quietness and nothingness.  You are then in a meditative state. 
    

8. Breathe out the negative feelings and emotions; breathe in positive, life-giving air.  Float freely.  Relax.  Expect to achieve; expect to accomplish your desires; expect to win.  Accept less, but push on to attain more.  The higher your goals, the further you will go.
    

9. As you practice, you will learn how to concentrate better.  When you meditate, negative thoughts will slow and you will have full control over your mind.

Other means of meditation and relaxation include exercise or sports.  The body needs physical stimulation to pump blood into all its extremities, and to give the heart a good workout.  Exercise is a wonderful way to let the mind relax as you place your thoughts on the way your body moves.  For many people, sports and exercise are enjoyable ways to feel alive, youthful, and fulfilled.
