Secret #1: Meditation Is No ‘Quick Fix’

I’m sure you’ve seen lots of quick-fix, “wealth without work” approaches to personal development. It’s often claimed that you’ll experience exotic states of blissful meditation and/or that you’ll quickly bring about transformational changes in your life.

While I’m sure some programs have something to offer, I also know there is no real short cut to LASTING transformation and happiness.

Meditation and mind-body training in general require PRACTICE. Those people that practice usually find the rewards are well worth it. If you practice correctly and you are committed to the process, the odds of achieving the results you’re looking for and very good.

I recommend you set aside some time each day for your practice. Ten minutes a day is fine to get you started. But the most important thing is that you make it fun so you enjoy it and practice consistently.

Secret #2: Your Posture Must Be Good

There are many possible positions for meditation-lotus position, half-lotus, sitting on a chair or cross-legged on the floor. Some prefer to sit on a cushion on the floor while others prefer a standing meditation.

Whatever position you settle in, your posture must be full and open and your back straight. A bad posture is uncomfortable and will make you feel restless. When your posture is good, you will feel more comfortable and your practice will be so much more enjoyable.

Sitting or standing in a good posture makes the inside of your body come alive. Energy flows more easily through the body. Good posture promotes natural, spontaneous healing. Make good posture an inseparable part of your practice. In fact, make good posture part of your daily life!

Secret #3: The Best Style Of Meditation

There are many people out there teaching all sorts of different styles and practices. But do not accept anyone’s teaching without verifying the truth of what they say in your own experience.

I recommend you try a few different styles and see what feels right for you (all the main natural styles are covered in our introductory training program “Secrets of Meditation, Health and Manifestation.”)

Find one or two styles that feel good for you and stick to that, but be careful not to get stuck in the technique.

While there are a number of important guidelines common to all styles of meditation practice, the most important guideline is this: Listen to your own body and do what is natural and feels right for you.

Remember that if you feel discomfort in any way, that is a sign that what you are doing is NOT good!

Meditation should NEVER be forced. You should let the meditation happen in a relaxed and comfortable way without forcing or directing it. The main thing to remember is to pay attention to your body. Make sure that what you are doing is natural and feels right for you.
