My Beautiful Daydream

"They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night." - Edgar Allen Poe

The Goal of Meditation

Did you know meditation has been medically proven to lower blood pressure, reduce chronic pain, reduce anxiety, reduce stress, and increase focus? Just to name a few! If you think meditation is only for monks and hippies, you're dead wrong. Meditation is for everyone!

Try this: instead of trying to clear your mind of all thought for 20 minutes (which might sound impossible for someone just starting out), sit in a quiet spot with your eyes shut and let your thoughts come and go, like the tide. When they wash up on the shore of your mind, acknowledge them and then send them on their way again.
Try to let go of them instead of holding onto them. Just acknowledge the thought and let it wash back out into the sea of the subconscious again. For five minutes, sit in this way, observing the thoughts come and go, like the tide. Be an observer without attachment. That's it! If you do this for five minutes, you've meditated for five minutes. Easy!
