Key Stages of Meditation
A simple practice of meditation is to put aside 20 minutes twice a day once in the morning and evening. When you start your meditation practice that usually go through these stages.
1. Mind Chatter – When you close your eyes, you will notice the incessant thoughts swirling through his mind. This is almost like being in front of a busy road with lots of cars driving past.
2. Participate in the conversation – you find that you can get involved in a train of thought. I liken this to enter one of the cars travel almost without thinking and meaningless. Once you become aware of it, just bring your knowledge on the subject of attention is perhaps the observation of the breath, repeating a word or concentrate on an image.
3. Chatter and focus – at this stage you may not only focused on the object of attention, but also participate in a few trains of thought. Both processes seem to be on his mind at the same time. This is like being dragged into a car by accident. Again, as soon as you realize this, bring your knowledge in the focus of your attention.
4. Reduce the talk – Here you will find that your mental chatter slower. There are fewer thoughts moving through your mind. The road is standing in front of slowing. There are fewer cars moving past now.
5. Gap between thoughts – This is the point at which there is a gap. This is the place of no ideas. Initially this may be just for a few seconds. This will increase as they continue with their practice.
6. Silence – You will find that you are able to step into the gap between thoughts almost instantly, as soon as you sit down to meditate. You can also stay in this state for a long period of time. This is the stage that each search engine is seeking a.
There is a natural progression from one stage to the next. However, the time it takes to move from one stage to the next is relative and varies from person to person. It is important to be patient with yourself and not have unrealistic expectations. A constant, regular practice is all it takes to achieve what you want from your practice of meditation.
