Meditation For People On The Go
Chris Impeterelli
Meditation is an ancient ritual that is perfect for individuals
seeking a bit of peace, quiet, and inner reflection into their
daily lives. However, many individuals erroneously believe
they do not have the appropriate time to devote to meditation.
This practice does not require a special room and hours upon
hours of inner reflection to be done properly and receive
the most results. In fact, meditation can be done in any quiet
corner, including your living room, office, hotel room, or
even the airplane. In order to achieve the proper meditation
in some of these places, you may need to practice certain
techniques or bring along special devices that will block
noise and ensure quiet for your designated meditation time.
Consider joining a meditation group so that you can effectively
learn the methods of meditation before you attempt to meditate
in unusual surroundings. The techniques and methods you learn
through a learned meditation instructor will help you accomplish
your own personal goals of meditation and inner exploration.
Meditation does not have to be incredibly time consuming.
Make it a point to dedicate a few minutes each day to your
meditation goals and spend some time reflecting inward. Mornings
are excellent times to begin meditation, since you at the
most at ease during this time and your home is probably the
quietest. Consider waking up before the rest of your household
to snag a few much needed minutes along in order to successfully
complete your meditation process. This is critical for both
men and women with children who find it hard to meditate amidst
the noises and demands of children.
When you are on the go, do not leave your meditation practices
at home! Consider snapping up a pair of noise canceling headphones
to block out noise on trains, planes, or automobiles. This
will allow you the greatest sense of peace and quiet so that
you can continue with your meditation techniques. Bring along
a special meditation soundtrack of familiar tunes to which
you can also block out unnecessary background noise in order
to meditate.
Meditation can be an excellent way to unwind after a long
day of traveling, so consider taking time to practice your
techniques once you reach your destination. For individuals
who are constantly calling hotel rooms home, it can be quite
easy to miss your personal meditation space. For this reason,
carry a small token or a few items with you on your travels
to remind you of home. Consider bringing a favorite blanket,
pillow, or mat to aid you in your meditation practices. Also,
bring along a photograph of your family or friends to help
with the homesickness.
Use scents to transport you to a more serene world. Aromatherapy
has been used in conjunction with meditation for thousands
of years. Consider beginning your meditation to comforting
or exotic smells of incense or candles. For individuals on
the go, consider bringing along travel candles or a vial of
essential oil that you can leave open to pervade the atmosphere.
