Most people in the West associate meditation with sitting quietly. But traditional Buddhist teachings identify four meditation postures: sitting, walking, standing and lying down. All four are valid means of cultivating a calm and clear mindfulness of the present moment. The most common meditation posture after sitting is walking. In meditation centers and monasteries, indoor halls and outdoor paths are often built for walking meditation. On meditation retreats, regular walking meditation is an integral part of the schedule. In practice outside of retreats, some people will include walking as part of their daily meditation practice—for example, ten or twenty minutes of walking prior to sitting, or walking meditation instead of sitting.

Walking meditation brings a number of benefits in addition to the cultivation of mindfulness. It can be a helpful way of building concentration, perhaps in support of sitting practice. When we are tired or sluggish, walking can be invigorating. The sensations of walking can be more compelling than the more subtle sensations of breathing while sitting. Walking can be quite helpful after a meal, upon waking from sleep, or after a long period of sitting meditation. At times of strong emotions or stress, walking meditation may be more relaxing than sitting. An added benefit is that, when done for extended times, walking meditation can build strength and stamina. People have a variety of attitudes toward walking meditation. Some take to it easily and find it a delight. For many others, an appreciation of this form of meditation takes some time; it is an “acquired taste.” Yet others see its benefits and do walking meditation even though they don’t have much taste for it.

To do formal walking meditation, find a pathway about 30 to 40 feet long, and simply walk back and forth. When you come to the end of your path, come to a full stop, turn around, stop again, and then start again. Keep your eyes cast down without looking at anything in particular. Some people find it useful to keep the eyelids half closed. We stress walking back and forth on a single path instead of wandering about because otherwise part of the mind would have to negotiate the path. A certain mental effort is required to, say, avoid a chair or step over a rock. When you walk back and forth, pretty soon you know the route and the problem-solving part of the mind can be put to rest.

Walking in a circle is a technique that is sometimes used, but the disadvantage is that the continuity of a circle can conceal a wandering mind. Walking back and forth, the little interruption when you stop at the end of your path can help to catch your attention if it has wandered. As you walk back and forth, find a pace that gives you a sense of ease. I generally advise walking more slowly than normal, but the pace can vary. Fast walking may bring a greater sense of ease when you are agitated. Or fast walking might be appropriate when you are sleepy. When the mind is calm and alert, slow walking may feel more natural. Your speed might change during a period of walking meditation.

See if you can sense the pace that keeps you most intimate with and attentive to the physical experience of walking. After you’ve found a pace of ease, let your attention settle into the body. I sometimes find it restful to think of letting my body take me for a walk. Once you feel connected to the body, let your attention settle into your feet and lower legs. In sitting meditation, it is common to use the alternating sensations of breathing in and out as an “anchor” keeping us in the present. In walking meditation, the focus is on the alternating stepping of the feet.

With your attention in the legs and feet, feel the sensations of each step. Feel the legs and feet tense as you lift the leg. Feel the movement of the leg as it swings through the air. Feel the contact of the foot with the ground. There is no “right” experience. Just see how the experience feels to you. Whenever you notice that the mind has wandered, bring it back to the sensations of the feet walking. Getting a sense of the rhythm of the steps may help maintain a continuity of awareness.

As an aid to staying present, you can use a quiet mental label for your steps as you walk. The label might be “stepping, stepping” or “left, right.” Labeling occupies the thinking mind with a rudimentary form of thought, so the mind is less likely to wander off. The labeling also points the mind towards what you want to observe. Noting “stepping” helps you to notice the feet.

If after a while you notice that you are saying “right” for the left foot and “left” for the right foot, you know that your attention has wandered. When walking more slowly, you might try breaking each step into phases and using the traditional labels “lifting, placing.” For very slow walking, you can use the labels “lifting, moving, and placing.”

Try to dedicate your attention to the sensations of walking and let go of everything else. If powerful emotions or thoughts arise and call your attention away from the sensations of walking, it is often helpful to stop walking and attend to them. When they are no longer compelling, you can return to the walking meditation. You also might find that something beautiful or interesting catches your eye while walking. If you can’t let go of it, stop walking and do “looking” meditation. Continue walking when you have finished looking.

In order for you to fulfill the desired state of peace and calmness, you need to meditate accordingly and orderly. Meditation cannot be achieve by just simple thinking of it, you need to consider different factors and approach so that you can accomplish and do the Mindfulness Meditation the right way.

Step l — Choosing The Right Spot

Choosing the right spot is the most important thing in all the steps. You need a location wherein you can concentrate as well as focus. This spot must be quiet, serene, and peaceful. In this process, you can focus your positive energy and release all the restless pressures and problems you have. Remember, that this meditation is describe to be as being aware and not resisting.

Step 2 — Deciding The Method To Use

There are so many techniques, schemes, and processes to meditate. All of the meditation ways are great and can be use, but, the key is you must find one of those to use and maintain for the rest of the meditation process. You need to do such, so that you can focus on the basic proper positions and you can set the concentration on what style you will be using. Trying to do all of the method at the same time, as a beginner, is not recommended for it will definitely lead you to nowhere. For this, it is better to choose one style in the beginning and you can try the others as you go along. The following are the most common positions in meditating. Find what ensembles your personality and try to develop a routine out of that posture.

Seated Position - for some of the individuals who are practicing mindfulness meditation, the seated posture has been the basic and most efficient way of calming the mind and relaxing the body. Its not just the comfort of seating, but, it enables the flow of your positive energy to be concentrated and easily managed. The seated posture also has various ways if you find it not comfortable enough to find your inner peace.

Standing Position - this is an upright position wherein you manage the position of your hands as to where you are comfortable that less requires tension and only minimal effort. This focuses on the energy flowing to your whole body. This is one of the most difficult postures since this focuses on the length of time you are able to stand in your feet and still be able to focus on a certain chi in your mind.

The Walking Posture - of all the postures, this is has the great advantage over the others. The walking posture focuses on your intention to move in a slower rate of movement, allowing you to concentrate on various parts of the body. This also can be incorporated in your day to day experiences. When walking your hands are in your side and your thought is clear making you focus on the movement and your attention to detail only takes place in your weight letting you relieve the stress you have.

There are also other kinds of Postures that is being use and can somehow be suitable to you. They are as follows:

Half Lotus - this is much easier to execute than the full lotus. With your buttocks on the cushion, place one foot on the opposite thigh and the other foot on the floor beneath the opposite thigh. Be sure that both knees touch the floor and your spine doesn’t tilt to one side.

Quarter Lotus - just the same as the half lotus, except that your foot rests on the calf of your opposite leg, rather than on the thigh.

Full Lotus - this is referred to be as the most legendary as well as famous in the seating posture. With your buttocks on a cushion, cross your left foot over your right thigh and your right foot over your left thigh. This has been considered to be also as the most stable of all the poses.

Cobra Pose - named for its resemblance to the graceful serpent. This is pose is very simple since you just need to demonstrate the serpent. An antidote to any tendency to slouch forward. You lie face down in the ground with your forehead on the floor, place your hands under your shoulders with your fingertips facing forward and the outside edge of your hands even with the edge of your shoulders. Keep your feet together and press your legs and thighs into the floor. Then raise your chest slowly acting like the serpent.

Cat Pose - stretches your spine for sitting. Begin with your hands and your knees with your spine horizontally and your arms and thighs perpendicular to the floor like a four legged animal. As you exhale, arch your spine upward slowly like a cat. As you inhale, flex your spine downward, beginning with your tailbone and lifting your head slightly at the end of the stretch. Over and over, you constantly do this to relax your body.

The first step in ruling out a particular bad habit is by being aware of the existence of that habit. Yet, simply being conscious of the existence of the bad habit does not immediately weed out the bad tendency from our daily life. The weeding out of old bad habits is further compounded if the vice has become deeply ingrained in the subconscious mind. It would take extra effort our part to consciously alter the bad habit with the opposite good habit. In the religious parlance, bad habits are called vices while good habits are called virtues. A person is considered good if he has more number of virtues than vices, after all, the great philosopher—Aristotle—once said: "We are what we repeatedly do." This basically means that our very own personality is the product of all the habits we have imbibed in our lifetime.

One of the common habitual tendencies of common man is the habit of procrastination. Procrastination is the attitude of habitually and intentionally putting off important tasks which one should focus on in favor of a more pleasant activity. Psychologist Professor Clarry Lay, a well-known writer on the subject of procrastination hinted that procrastination entails a gap between the time period in which a person should do the job and the actual doing of a job. Say for instance, a person has to do a project right now. However, due to other factors or habits such as laziness, the person would put off the work which he must do right now to a later time producing a domino adverse effect on the fulfillment of scheduled jobs. On the other hand, a person who has developed attitudes of promptness and industriousness would feel uneasy until the job at hand has not been fulfilled and completed. Kurt Lewin, a famous Psychologist once said that an open-task tension exists when an important job has not yet been completed.

However, most people have learned to ignore this open-task tension and have developed the habit of procrastination. For this reason, learning to curtail the ill effect of procrastination by going down to the root cause of the attitude and replacing it with the opposite positive attitude can help us improve our character and consequently aid us in the succeeding in life.

How do we counteract the lingering effect of procrastination?

A habit, once it has taken its root in our being, will become second nature to us. When I say second nature, I mean it comes out naturally as if it is a part of our nature. For this reason, habits make our life easier; for when we have already acquired the habits, we would no longer need the initial great amount of effort that we had used when we first tried to fulfill a particular task. Habit facilitates the performance of an act. Therefore, it is necessary that we be wary of the development of any habit. It takes a month to develop a habit and it usually takes a year to solidify a habit as a second nature. The deeper the rootedness of a habit, the more difficult it would be to weed it out. Thus, in the case of procrastination, it would take a lot of effort on our part to alter this bad habit. Awareness and acceptance of the existence of this habit in our life would be the initial step to weed out this persistent tendency. Likewise, developing a keen focus on the job at hand and being aware of the open-task tension while responding to this tension positively can gradually diminish the lingering effect of procrastination.

Take a look at the Empty Mind Meditation process. This meditation technique not only enables us to focus our mind intently on a single task, but it allows us also to be aware of the habits and tendencies which are imbedded in our subconscious mind. Procrastination can be rooted in our tendency to avoid pain. In our growing process, we have been gradually programmed to avoid pain and like pleasure. This natural tendency is rooted in our infancy when we feel satisfied when we are given milk after feeling the pangs of hunger. Yet, mature people do not shun away from pain and difficulty. They are able to delay gratification for future satisfaction. In the same way, the practice of Empty Mind Meditation, with its concomitant exercises and disciplines, will stamp down the bad habit of procrastination and develop the opposite habit. Empty Mind Meditation engenders mental discipline and procrastination is averse to discipline. Thus, internal discipline developed through the constant practice of Empty mind meditation counteracts the bad effect of procrastination and enables a person to internally motivate the body to do the job which would be otherwise delayed.

Breath Watching Meditation Give Away Rights Ebook

Ebook Sample Content Preview:

Settle things slowly till you realize that you are in a complete “simple be” state of mind and body. Pay attention to the things happening within the present time such as other sensations like noise, feelings, thoughts, with the absence of movement.

After that, you can now focus on the breathing. Follow your breathing as you inhale and exhale the air flowing into your body. Observation is the key in this kind of meditation. Always be natural and remember not to force yourself in observing how you breathe. You must be aware of the air going inside your nose as it find its way down to your chest.

The mind will wander away from the breath — that’s fine, it doesn’t matter. That’s a part of the meditation! When you notice that you are no longer observing the breath, easily bring your attention back to it.

Let all of your experiences — thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations — come and go in the background of your awareness of the breath. Notice how all of your experiences — thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, awareness of sounds and smells — come automatically and effortlessly like the breath.

In time, you can become aware of the tendencies of your mind. You will see how it resists certain experiences and tries to hold onto others. The natural settling down of the mind allows you to notice these underlying tendencies and creates the possibility to let them go. If you experience a resistance to what is occurring, an attempt to change what is happening, a tendency to hold on to some experience — let it go.

This is a variation on the Breath Awareness Meditation that you can try if you find you are able to watch the breath for periods of time. Start as above and when you are settled into the process of observing the breath, become aware of the point at which the breath turns the corner from the inhalation to the exhalation and from the exhalation to the inhalation. Notice what is there. It is not a thing — it is a gap between the breaths, nevertheless there can be awareness of it. It is a kind of “still point”.

Continue to bring your attention to that still point, bringing your attention back to the gaps in the breath whenever it has wandered away. As you continue practicing this meditation, you may find that the stillness is no longer experienced as discrete gaps between the breaths, but is a more continuous experience. This cultivates the awareness of the stillness that is present in the midst of activity, and can create a profound experience of peace.

But let yourself let all that thinking go, just for a moment. Reassure yourself, that even if you quit thinking for just a few moments, it’ll be ok.

Mentoring Cash Unleashed Give Away Rights Ebook

Now, it's time to ask yourself the most important question: "Why do you want to mentor others?" We didn't include it in our list of questions above, because you may not have been able to give yourself an honest answer before you did your research and really gave it some thought.

If you answered anything like, "because I want to make as much money as possible from my marketing efforts," you get an A for honesty, and it's a smart choice. But, if it's the only reason you're considering starting a mentoring business, you need to think again, and carefully at that.

If you answered something to the effect of: "I'd like to help keep people from wasting time and making the same mistakes I did" or "people are asking me questions all the time anyway," then, you already have a pretty good idea about what the core of mentoring is about. Check your motives again, to make sure you're coming from the right place, rather than just a money motivation.

If you choose to become a mentor only because you want to make the most amount of money possible from your email list, that will come through to your students, which means they won't stick around over the long term. If sharing and helping others motivates you, that's a good thing, but you need to consider your motives and habits one last time, to protect yourself. Ask yourself: "Am I a rescuer?"

Being a "rescuer" is not necessarily a good thing. We're conditioned to do it. Rescuers don't have boundaries, and they don't understand the concept of "what's mine to own" and what's yours to own," where "mine" is the tasks that are your responsibility, and "yours" are the tasks that belong to your students.

Rescurers are reactive. They will drop everything and pretty much do things for their studends, rather than making minor adjustments to their "fishing poles" and letting them go back to the pond to learn how to fish on their own with confidence.

If you are a rescuer, you're not going to help your student, or yourself. You will be overwhelmed and burned out... and you'll find comfort in knowing how noble and self-sacrificing you are.

Forgive my sarcasm, as this is a technique you should never use with your students, but as it's the truth, I'm not going to apologize.

The "rescuer" mentality is not a virtue, but a weakness.

The situation you should aim for is where both are true: you not only want to maximize your profits, but you find joy in giving back to others and watching them group. This attribute - reciprocity - is the "win-win" situation we referenced earlier.

The students you mentor will be enriched by your honesty, desire to take action, and you will be enriched by their groth and success. Your reputation will also be enriched as your students leave positive testimonials for your services.
