I have been meditating for about nine months seriously and during my meditations, realize that I have been meditating my whole life. I can see things a little clearer than I could even one year ago. The Holy Bible, Koran and other religious scriptures seem to make a little more sense to me, the more that I meditate. I recommend meditation to anyone interested in relaxing, sorting out your life and even as an exercise to increase your intuitive spiritual thinking.
I'm not going to explain how to meditate here, the meditation I'm talking about is simple. Take a verse out of the Bible that you're having problems with, either understanding or explaining to someone else. Write the verse down on a piece of paper and take it with you to a quiet spot in your home, the park, or any area where you normally feel comfortable and relaxed. Set the piece of paper in front of you, along with a pencil or pen.
There is no need to sit in a yoga position, find yourself a comfortable chair to sit in. Try not to fall asleep during the meditation practice. It helps to sit in an upright position with your feet flat on the ground and you're back straight. If you sit in the chair, relaxing with your back supported by the chair, you could become a little too comfortable and fall asleep.
Try to be as comfortable as you can, without falling asleep. Make sure that your clothes are not uncomfortable. Loose fitting clothes are preferred while meditating.
Make sure that you place the piece of paper where you can read it, if you haven't memorized it. If it's a small Bible verse, commit the verse to memory, if possible and sit there quietly, while you start to repeat this verse, over and over again. There is no need to repeat this Bible verse at high speeds, simply relax and take your time, either saying them out loud or to yourself.
You can spend anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes each day, relaxing and going over your Bible verse. Pay attention to any thoughts that enter your mind. For example, the title of a book or movie might pop up. If this happens, simply write the title or any other thoughts that pop up, down on the piece of paper. Try not to focus on your new thoughts, titles or any other things that pop into your head, simply let them go peacefully and return to your Bible verse.
These thoughts could inspire you to do something, like purchase a book, watch a movie, go somewhere or, for instance, someone's name could even pop up. There is a possibility that this person might have the answers you are seeking. By reviewing, what you have written down, on a weekly basis, this could lead to further inspiration or action.
I'm not going to tell you to do this for 30 days, six months or a year. You might have some sort of insight or explanation of the Bible verse, you might not. Your meditation could lead you towards something else. Pay attention to the thoughts that you are having, these thoughts can lead you towards the answers you seek in the form of a book, person, spiritual insight or something else.
Meditation has been extremely helpful for me, in finding answers to questions that I am overly interested in. It has taken over a year to receive some of these answers, but most seem to come to me in a shorter period of time. Your answers might not come as soon as you would like, but they will come.
