Spiritual meditation is a practice based on reaching
conscious awareness with a larger and deeper being than the individual self.
While there are many meditation techniques used to increase spiritual
awareness, meditation brings a holistic view of ourselves and the world. Spiritual
meditation practice allows us to spread the benefits we get. The stronger our
awareness and spirituality, the greater the desire and ability to help others benefit.
The journey
to spiritual awareness through meditation is a time-consuming and grueling
phase. Discipline and practice are required to achieve spiritual realization.
Benefits can only be achieved at the end of the laborious process. This
process, which increases conscious awareness, is very special and valuable.
How to
Do Spiritual Meditation?
The first
step to take in spiritual meditation is to truly know yourself. Knowing and
accepting yourself with spiritual meditation and being at peace with yourself
in this process of change will be the first step of meditation. Compassion for
yourself will make you more compassionate towards others.
Choose a
Comfortable Position
The most
critical thing before starting spiritual meditation is to create a place and
position where you can relax. You can start meditating in a calm and peaceful
atmosphere by getting away from the crowd and noise of the city as much as
possible. Spiritual meditation can get you into sleep mode quickly. Therefore,
you need to be selective about the position in which you want to meditate.
Find a
comfortable position for it. However, do not choose a position that will put
you to sleep very comfortably and easily. You can sit on a chair with your back
straight or lean against the wall. After choosing a comfortable position for
yourself, close your eyes slightly.
Relax
and Let Yourself Go with the Flow
Relax
yourself in the second phase of spiritual meditation. Let everything flow
naturally and organically. Engage as a passive spectator, allowing the
meditation process to happen on its own. Let the process run on its natural
course.
Accept
Your Thoughts
The mind is
constantly in flux and renewing itself. Many thoughts appear in our minds
during the day. As long as our mind is awake, many new thoughts find their way.
It is possible for new thoughts to come to our minds during meditation. Don't
blame yourself for the thoughts that come into your mind while you meditate,
and don't let the thoughts control you.
Focus on
a Topic That Feels Good
Think about
a request that makes you feel good, without letting your thoughts disturb the
calm and peaceful atmosphere. It can be a phrase or a word. The subject that
makes you happy can be travel, nature or something else.
Focus
with Natural and Slow Breathing
Continue to
keep your body calm and relaxed. In this process, you can breathe naturally and
slowly. By the way, thoughts may come to your mind during meditation. Think
about the subject you are focusing on without letting the thoughts control your
mind. Focus on this with every breath you take.
