About

Every one probably has a different idea of what meditation is and how to do it. Some people say to concentrate on your breathing. I never had much luck with that. When I concentrate on my breathing nothing else comes to me but breathing.
I see meditating as a way to relax and access my inner guidance. To do that I have a routine which starts with sitting comfortably. I will lead you through this routine.
Do not lie down as you may fall asleep. If you are too jittery, use EFT to help you relax. Then with eyes closed, envision yourself walking slowly down a spiral staircase. With each step breathe out and with each breath release some tension and relax a little bit more. (So I do use breathing in my meditation!). When you get to the bottom of the stairs, you will find yourself in a large room. Walk around your room a little and see what is there.
On one wall will be a door. Go to the door. This will be the door into your private sanctuary. Make this place a welcoming, safe, beautiful place that you want to go to. Open the door and go in. Enjoy this area. It is your creation. This is where you can meet with someone or something that will answer your questions about life, the universe and everything. I have a wise old man I talk with. Ask questions and wait for answers.
Some people say you are accessing your spiritual guides, a saint, God, Jesus, or just your inner intuition. No matter who it is, it is relaxing and often very helpful. Thank them for being there for you and when you open your eyes you will feel more relaxed and blissful.
