Theta Healers – How to do Theta Healing

how do you actually meditate ?

i’m trying to practise meditation as my mind tends to wander while i’m studying (i’m in college), and typically i can’t achieve any tangible results from the limited time i get for studying. i start with taking deep breaths and trying to focus on my breathing, but invariably, my thoughts wander off to other things, such as the lyrics of a catchy song, while the breathing pattern is still intact, or even the imagery of the nose and such things…i mean you get the point don’t you ???
i find it very hard to focus for even 10 seconds, let alone the ‘recommended 20 minutes’, any ideas / suggestions as to how i could improve / find a good guide on how to meditate…one which is gonna take me through step by step..like do this do that ..and not just ‘ focus, concentrate on your breathing, be in the preset and that sorta thing ??
please…any worthwhile help would be appreciated

For meditation to be effective, daily practice is recommended. You have to be patient about it.

Everyday ways to practice meditation
Here are some ways you can practice meditation on your own, whenever you choose. Take a few minutes or as much time as you like.

Breathe deeply. This technique is good for beginners because breathing is a natural function. Focus all attention on your breathing. Concentrate on feeling and listening as you inhale and exhale through your nostrils. Breathe deeply and slowly. When you feel your attention wander, gently return your focus to your breathing.

Scan your body. When using this technique, focus attention on different parts of your body. Become aware of your body’s various sensations, whether that’s pain, tension, warmth or relaxation. Combine body scanning with breathing exercises and imagine breathing heat or relaxation into and out of different parts of your body.

Repeat a sacred name or phrase. A mantra is the name of a sacred deity or a sacred phrase that you repeat silently or aloud. You can create your own mantra. Mantras are the building blocks of transcendental meditation. Examples of religious mantras include a Jesus prayer in the Christian tradition, the holy name of God in Judaism, or the Om mantra of Hinduism, Buddhism and other Eastern religions.
Walking meditation. Combining a walk with meditation is an efficient and healthy way to relax. You can use this technique anywhere you’re walking — in a tranquil forest, on a city sidewalk or at the mall. When you use this method, slow down the pace of walking so that you can focus on each movement of your legs or feet. Don’t focus on a particular destination. Concentrate on your legs and feet, repeating action words in your mind such as lifting, moving and placing as you lift each foot, move your leg forward and place your foot on the ground.

Engage in prayer. Prayer is the best known and most widely practiced example of meditation. Spoken and written prayers are found in most faith traditions. You can pray using your own words or read prayers written by others. Check the self-help or 12-step-recovery section of your local bookstore for examples. Talk with your rabbi, priest, pastor or other spiritual leader about resources.

Read or listen and take time to reflect. Many people report that they benefit from reading poems or sacred texts silently or aloud, and taking a few moments to quietly reflect on the meaning that the words bring to mind. You can listen to sacred music, spoken words or any music you find relaxing or inspiring. You may want to write your reflections in a journal or discuss them with a friend or spiritual leader.
Focus your love and gratitude. In this type of meditation, you focus your attention on a sacred object or being, weaving feelings of love and gratitude into your thoughts. You can also close your eyes and use your imagination or gaze at representations of the object.

Practice meditation skills
Be kind to yourself as you get started with meditation. It’s common for the mind to wander during meditation, no matter how long you’ve been practicing meditation, and that’s OK, too. If you’re meditating to calm your mind and your attention wanders, slowly return to the object, sensation or movement you’re focusing on. You can use an image to bring yourself back to your focus if you’d like. Try this: Picture balloons floating away with your thoughts, or imagine your thoughts as pigeons and mentally clap your hands to get them to fly away.

Experiment, and you’ll likely find out what types of meditation work best for you. Adapt meditation to your needs at the moment. Remember, there’s no right way or wrong way to meditate. What matters is that meditation helps you with stress reduction and feeling better overall.

Today, with a four-part home training course, Jon Kabat-Zinn offers listeners the definitive mindfulness meditation practice on CD.
