Is it possible to meditate without practice?
Learning to meditate can be difficult just by itself. There are countless resources you can read, study up on, articles on the Internet you can reference, videos, and more. However, that’s not the hardest part to do. Once you’ve read a few articles on mediation, now you need to do it. But, doing it is the hardest part (unless you know how to trick your mind into this, which we’ll get to in a minute).
Many people take months, if not years to learn how to meditate. It takes extreme concentration, motivation, time alone to practice, study, and more. Just removing the disturbances that lurk in your mind that exist from the previous day such as what happened at work, trouble with traffic on the way home, your family needs, your self needs, you lingering shopping list you need to take care of, your schedule for the week and and all of the other daily items you need to remember can be very difficult.
It’s not just the items we need to remember either. Most of our day, we’re bombarded with distractions all over: Our cell phone goes off while at our desks, countless phone calls come in while we’re doing other work, people jump into our cubicles/offices demanding some of our time, email notifications, faxes, and more. Basically, our mind becomes so accustomed to bouncing around from item to item or attempting to multitask that to stop focusing on all of these disturbances and just focusing on one object can be difficult.
However, there are ways to speed up the process of meditation, to reduce the time it takes to meditate. Imagine being able to meditate in minutes (without any practice), because you’re helping your mind achieve the mental state (this is called the alpha state) it requires to begin meditation by just listening to a recording.
Using brainwave mp3 or brainwave entrainment recordings are very simple and allow you to achieve the state of meditation (and much more) without having to practice extensively. These will help you remove the typical mental chaos you may have experienced when trying to meditate and point your brain into the right direction it requires to meditate effectively in minutes.
There are typically three different types of recordings you can use: Binaural beats, monaural beats and isochronic tones. These follow a “good, better, best” type of rating. Binural beats are good, monaural beats are better, and isochoronic tones are the very best and are the most effective.
The steps are easy: Purchase (they may cost a few dollars, but are well worth the time saved) and download a meditation recording to your computer from a reputable website such as the Unexplainable Store, put them on a CD or MP3 player with headphones (don’t use these while driving!), get comfortable, focus, and listen. The more you practice, the more you’ll get out of meditation. Good luck on your journey into meditation!
