Most people overcomplicate Meditation
Thinking there is only a "right" method on how it can be done
This couldn’t be further form the truth
If you are worrying if you are really meditating or doing it right
Let me tell you:
You can’t really do meditation wrong

There are tons of different possible meditation techniques
But they all come down to two things
Awareness and Focus
What are they?
But they all come down to two things
Awareness and Focus

By practicing awareness you switch from the driver seat to the observer seat
You are conscious about your body, your thoughts, your surroundings
It could be as simple as being aware of the quality of air
Being aware of your heartbeat
Of being alive

Focus is channeling your attention on one thing
To tune out all distractions
The most common practice is focusing your attention on your breath (Vipassana)
Focus is a superpower in modern times where everyone and everything is competing for your attention

But how do you start?
First you should drop your pressure and expectation when it comes to Meditation
You can simply set a timer for 5 min. and sit down
Just do nothing and observe what happens
How do you feel?
What do you think?

Observe as if you would looking at the thoughts and feelings of another person
Do not value, simple observe
If the 5 minutes are over, congratulations you just meditated!
„Okay I got it I just have to sit and not force anything to meditate but how do you meditate Takezo?“

1 Breathing
The most common one that you all heard about and it is simply sitting and observing my breath
„Breathing in I grant my body peace
Breathing out I plant a smile“
Don’t worry when your thoughts go away from your breath
Simply recognize it and start breathing again

Zooming out
To recognize that you are not your body and that you are just a little grain of sand in this world
I like to imagine myself from a bird eye perspective - as if I would look at myself from a camera in the corner of the ceiling

Then zoom out
Recognize the room
The house
The street
The neighborhood
Going higher like a plane
The city
The earth
The solar system
Until there is only darkness
You can either keep expanding into nothingness
Or zoom all the way back in and repeat the process

Visualizing
To speed up the process between your desired state and your current state you need to visualize your goals
By clearly imagining them you will program your mind to work towards them
Remember you can’t do something that you can’t imagine
So let’s get practical

Imagine how you want your life to be
Imagine the things you want to experience
Create a motion picture in your mind and try to go into as much detail as possible

For example if your dream is to fly first class to Japan
Imagine how you would behave at the airport if money is no issue
How the seats in the plane would feel
How the Sushi in Japan tastes
How does it smells
Think of your dream as already achieved!

Then recognize how you feel
When you end your visualization keep that feeling with you
Make it a feeling of certainty to bring this visualization into the material world
Keep that feeling with you throughout the day and your life will change
