Tweaking your health doesn't need to be expensive, difficult or time consuming.
It doesn't require a commitment of money like a gym fee.
There are so many different things that we can all do to help ourselves reach a better degree of health.
One of those things is meditation.
The cost to learn and practice meditation is free.
Meditation can improve your health mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Many people struggle with the idea of learning meditation simply because they don't have 30 minutes to dedicate each day to understanding and practicing the process.
Know that you can learn to meditate with no goal in mind.
In other words, if you are not a spiritual person, spirituality doesn't need to be a part of your meditation.
Learn to "take" what your meditation "gives" you.
So what does that mean? For some people meditation gives them 3 minutes of time for themselves, while another person might find that meditation gives them 3 minutes of not thinking about work.
Someone else may benefit by practicing visualization.
Meditation isn't about perfecting clearing all thoughts from your mind.
Rather it is about focusing on less.
If you are a person who seems to have a lot of chatter in your mind, meditation can help you to think about fewer things at one time.
This won't slow you down, but it will allow you to focus and perhaps complete more tasks.
Start by putting on a `sound' cd, such as sounds from nature or Tibetan bowl music.
Sit straight up in a chair or on the floor.
Now closing your eyes and listening to the cd, breathe from your belly and begin to count your "out" breaths.
When you realize your mind has wondered, begin counting your breaths again.
Don't worry about where you left off in your count, it isn't important.
Including the time that you struggled with your thoughts, meditate for about 3 minutes.
As you take this time to meditate you will find that it becomes a little easier.
When you feel that you are meditating more then struggling with your thoughts, increase the time by another minute or so.
This really does get easier and is really worth working on.
In time you will notice that you are not counting your breaths.
It is in this stillness that you can really listen to your higher self, improve your intuition and relax your mind and body.
