What’s your method to focus on meditating?

Making sure you are in a quiet place is essential. I find that if I’m not then I’m too aware of my surroundings and not able to fully relax.

Find a good app or a program online that you like the voice and the topics por each meditation. I personally like the ones with a purpose because they teach and make you reflect about your life. This gives you the start to set your mind free and focus on an important subject that’s beneficial for you, then you can continue concentrating on your breathing. Meditation gives your soal peace and make you feel tranquil. I use the 21 chopra challenges. They are great.

I focus on my breathing when I meditate but most of the time I get distracted by other thoughts that come in my mind. I still face this challenge for distraction

I am new practicing meditation so I try to concentrate to my breath and go back to it every time my mind wanders! Not so easy tho, I belive with the time it will get better 🙂

Vishen Lakhiani talks about the paradox that is meditation in his book “Code of the Extraordinary Mind” – it can feel impossible to shut our brains down and have that emptiness that gurus talk about. I like to think about it in a more practical sense – deliberate, guided thought. I typically use visualization and centering practices to get my mind in the right “zone” so to speak. A typical routine would be 1. Going from head to toe, body part by body part, and asking that muscle group to relax 2. Visualizing myself surrounded by light, and letting that light slowly expand to my room, house, neihborhood, city, state, etc then 3. Find 3 unique things I’m grateful for and 3 reasons why I love myself. Then I sit with that, sometimes, and sometimes that’s my whole meditation!

I follow my breath. In and out. When I first started meditating many years ago I counted the breaths to ten, and then started again. If I lost my way and counted beyond 10. No harm no foul. I just started at one again. I also use a timer.

I have a daily check list with things that I want to do and schedule it into my day! My day is literally planned from the moment I get up to the moment I go to sleep!

I meditate using my breath to focus on my third eye chakra when breathing in I breath in to that charkra when breathing out I breath out to my hands which are laying on my legs focusing on a triangle shape. Breathing in to my third eye the top of the triangle breathing out to my hands at the sides and to the base of the triangle.

I follow the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda and it has changed my life for the absolute better. Google Self realisation fellowship or read autobiography of a yogi if your interested 🙏😊🌠

I use you tube videos and headphones. I’ve also told my family that I started meditating, so they know that I need this time for myself. They are so loving and supportive, which helps me relax and focus on myself.
