Meditation Is a Place of Refuge

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

The article, “Meditation Is a Place of Refuge”, by Bruce Davis, Ph.D. states

“Meditation takes us underneath the stream of me. Below our strong ego is an even stronger presence. Meditation discovered by seekers in all the great traditions brings us to the heart of the mind.”

American Institute Health Care Professionals’ insight:

Meditation for many is a place of refuge as this article suggests.  People who do not have prayer, spirituality or some sort of release have a higher level of stress.   Studies are showing that those, even non-religious, who practice meditation are finding many advantages in health and over stress.

Meditation gives anyone seeking refuge and solace a chance to regroup and plan.  That is the ultimate benefit of meditation.  It can and does give a person a place to retreat and rest.  With work, school and family, even the best person needs some “me” time.  Meditation is an excellent way to accomplish that.

A certified meditation instructor is an excellent source of guidance and information on the topic.  Many people study under a certified meditation instructor to ensure proper technique and success in meditation.

The article “5 Ways to Get Your Meditation Practice on Track”, by Michael W. Taft states

“We all know by now that mindfulness meditation can create positive changes in your life. It works, but you pretty much have to practice it every day to really reap the benefits.”

American Institute Health Care Professionals’ insight:

Want to Learn How to Start Meditating?

Many times we will start something up, just to later quit it down the road.   This often happens with a new exercise routine or a diet.    It can also happen to meditation.   Lucky there are ways to stick with meditation.

Once you have learned how to start meditating, use these tricks of the trade to stay with it.   Try simple things like scheduling it.    More often than not if you write something down and say at 5 PM I need to meditate, you are more likely to do it.    Something simple as writing it down mentally makes us feel the need to complete it.

Try group meditation.   Social pressure can have a big pull at staying with something.    Having someone else lean on you to meditate with them is an excellent way to stay motivated for something.     By doing this you and a friend can help better each other.

Try to schedule your meditation during the time of day where you will be the least distracted.    During that time turn off your phone, computer, tv, etc and dedicate yourself to your meditation.   Do not let anything stop you.   View it as your personal time.

Meditation is easy to do and to teach if you have the right education.    The American Institute of Health Care Professionals has an excellent online meditation instructor certification.   If you feel you would make a good teacher then maybe this is someone you should look into further.

10 Myths About Meditation, Busted

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

The article, “10 Myths About Meditation”, by Bhanu Narasimhan states

“While there are misconceptions and myths about many topics, one of the most popular topics is meditation. Say the word, “meditation” and all kinds of images and notions come up. Is this for me? I can’t sit for long hours.”

American Institute Health Care Professionals’ insight:

This article looks at the many myths of meditation.  Meditation instructors realize that meditation has many myths behind it.

Some believe meditation is only for religious people.  Others believe meditation is completely Eastern. The reality is meditation is a universal human experience that requires very little that many think.

Meditation can be done anywhere and anytime.  It does not require hypnotizing oneself or falling into a deep sleep.

Instead meditation is a healthy way to reconnect with yourself and live a healthier life.  It helps you focus and face issues.

Yet, for the religious, it still can possess the spiritual fruits those of East or West seek.

Different Forms of Meditation You Can Use.

Posted on by Dominick Flarey

The article, “4 Types Of FUN Meditation”, by Dejan Davchevski states

“Let’s look at the most fun ways to meditate. In this fast pace way of living we must find 30 minutes per day to just calm down and rest our brain.”

American Institute Health Care Professionals’ insight:

4 Different Forms of Meditation

Basic meditation is quietly sitting down somewhere and focusing on clearing your mind.   This meditation technique is easy to learn.   There are however several other completely different forms of meditation.

Spiritual meditation is when you pray to a higher power for something you need in life.   How it differs from prayer is you are also meditating at the same time.   You are focusing on your intentions and your prayers.   Once done you feel relaxed and well rested.

Focused meditation is a form of meditation where you “focus” on the things and aspects in your life you enjoy the most.   It could be the sounds of nature or the way someone makes you feel.   By using focus meditation you can sharpen your thoughts and relax yourself.

The next form combines exercise with meditation.  It is movement meditation.    Here you stay focused on the movements of your body while you exercise.    It could be as simple as focusing on your legs while you jog or on your muscles as you lift.   With movement meditation you are giving your mind a break by staying focused on something else.

Lastly there is guided meditation.   In guided meditation you listen to someone or something as it guides you on what to think and what to focus on.    By listening your mind starts to create images that you can focus on.     These images or thoughts allow you to create your own adventure.

Want to learn how to become a meditation instructor?   Then you should visit the American Institute of Health Care Professionals.   Their online certificate program in Meditation Instruction is the perfect place to learn all of these meditation forms.
