There\u2019s a pattern in that when you follow thoughts, your body responds. When you release thoughts, your body relaxes and inner doors slowly open. Doors to heightened creativity, lightning bolt insight, doors through which bliss and joy and excitement can flood through. So release your thoughts. Allow gentle breathing to resume. And then wait patiently, allowing thoughts and tensions to melt away. Wait for magic. It can take time if you\u2019re used to keeping magic at bay. But wait&#8230; and it\u2019ll come. It always does. Eventually. <\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thefa-test2 thefa-entity-placement\" id=\"thefa-1986381628\"><div id=\"thefa-1651353689\"><style>.thefa-test2 {margin-bottom: 24px;}<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"banner-content-position light-viol\">\r\n<div class=\"banner-text max400\">Stop wasting your life<\/div>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/start.thefabulous.co\/onboarding\/fabulous-initial?utm_source=community-qa&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=afterfirstquestionoranswer-purple-achievegoals\" class=\"banner-cta red w-inline-block\">\r\n<div>Start living today<\/div><\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Marleen U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think there is no pattern for meditation. A person might create a pattern for themselves but there is definitely many patterns you can use to meditate. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Isaac P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Being consistent and not allowing small issues to delay your practice. It&#39;s easy to skip through and play catch up but I try to treat each practice like its my first. So I have no expectations but the commitment is there since I don&#39;t want to be late for my 1st lesson. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Gabriele Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Well not sure  how to answer your question  I try to  meditate  when ever I get a chance  if I try to plan it out something  always  comes up  and distractsme <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lola Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I think there is a loose framework at the beginning. It\u2019s an important framework because it can be hard to learn to guide your own mind. If you\u2019re like me, the mind is pulling in several different directions at once. It does NOT want to just be. As time goes on, a natural pattern emerges that is pretty specific to your own growth.  <\/p>\n<p>So , the answer to your question is yes, there is a pattern to meditation that evolves as you  learn to relax.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Signe Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Meditation for me changes on a daily basis. It depends on what happened that day and what I need to clear from my headspace in order to focus on my practice. Sometimes it\u2019s hard to focus and fall into my practice &#8211; I feel restless or overwhelmed, and my mind will wander and have to be constantly brought back into my practice &#8211; whereas other times, it seems to come easily, and I\u2019ll slip effortlessly into a deeply profound and focused state. I\u2019m able to think and process clearly and I finish my practice feeling peaceful and fulfilled. Sometimes I have better luck laying down on my back versus sitting cross-legged with my hands on my knees. I try to make the space comfortable and welcome and embrace the good and the bad so that I know in my heart that this isn\u2019t a time for judgement (even from myself.) It\u2019s a time for reflection, processing, healing and offering myself gratitude for everything I put forth in the world. Some people like to follow patterns and it helps them. I try to just lean into where I\u2019m at on that particular day. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Gileade C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I don\u2019t think so. I think you do it when you need to in the form that you find works best at the time. There can be a \u2018practice\u2019 which may become ritualised, though<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Alan P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Well &#8211; the Silence and the focus on the breathing is key. Calm the mind and the body. And the taking care of me myself and I. I am important &#8211; I am responsible for my own happiness.

Meditation for me is connecting with the flow of life. Breath. Breathing is continuous, therefore you are connecting with the flow of something continuous. There&#39;s no pattern to it.
