It goes with­out say­ing that med­i­ta­tion is one of the most pow­er­ful tools that if used prop­erly, can help us achieve wealth, health and hap­pi­ness. It helps us release neg­a­tive thoughts and energy and instead, focus on joy and positivity.

It is one of the most impor­tant ingre­di­ents to a more potent Silva living.

But I have been notic­ing some gen­eral mis­un­der­stand­ings about med­i­ta­tion that I really feel I should address.

Here is a list of the top 5:

1. Stop Thinking

This is harder than it sounds I know.

It is only nat­ural, but con­trary to pop­u­lar beliefs, med­i­ta­tion is not only about com­pletely stop­ping your thoughts or com­pletely blank­ing your mind.

Dur­ing med­i­ta­tion, when you feel you mind begin to wan­der, it nat­ural, just stop and bring it back to the present and your meditation.

A good tech­nique is to ask your­self “I won­der what my next thought will be?”. Go ahead and do it. Did you notice a pause in your thoughts?

2. Med­i­tate to Escape

This can­not be a more wrong belief.  It is with med­i­ta­tion that we come face-to-face with our most inner­most fears, pain and most self­ish of desires.

When we can sit with and accept these unwel­come parts of our­selves we begin to dis­em­power them. This sim­ple act of allow­ing and accept­ing has deep sig­nif­i­cance in the process of heal­ing and liberation.

3. You Have To Sit In The Full Lotus Position

Con­trary to pop­u­lar beliefs, you do not have to sit on the floor in a full lotus posi­tion to med­i­tate. The most impor­tant thing is that you are a hun­dred per­cent com­fort­able, and in a com­fort­able envi­ron­ment which will not dis­tract your med­i­ta­tion process.

As long as you are relaxed, focus, and you keep your spine straight, your med­i­ta­tion ses­sion should be a won­der­ful and reward­ing experience.

4. Med­i­ta­tion Is Deep Relaxation

While med­i­ta­tion is very help­ful in man­ag­ing stress and help­ing us over­come ill­nesses and obtain­ing the per­fect health, its not right to reduce it to just “deep relax­ation”. To be fair, being relaxed is only one part of suc­cess­ful med­i­ta­tion, while the other half is keep­ing the mind alert.

I know this sounds con­fus­ing, but this is the tricky part of med­i­ta­tion, which you can over­come over time and with con­stant prac­tice and guid­ance from your Silva audio home study course.

5. Just Fol­low The CD

While the Silva Method pro­vides you with a step-by-step guide on how to achieve all of your desires eas­ily through a num­ber of pro­grams which we present to you in the form of CDs, you and I both know that we can­not just plug it in and leave it to do all the work.

The life that you desire is filled with suc­cess, heal­ing and free­dom and it can be achieved through a few addi­tional tech­niques and tools which will com­pli­ment your exist­ing pro­grams, such as lessons and other tips that I give out here in this blog.

Also don’t for­get to prac­tice your med­i­ta­tion and make a habit of doing it at least once a day, to accel­er­ate your poten­tial and help you achieve your desires.

Bet­ter and better,

Laura
