Effortless Meditation Technique (EMT)
According to the National Institute of Health, 80 to 90% of all illnesses are caused by stress. Control of anxiety is central to reducing stress and staying healthy. Controlling anxiety allows an individual to tolerate increasingly stressful situations. When stress can be controlled, a person’s enjoyment of life increases and health improves.
Effortless Meditation Technique such as the one I teach is an effective method of relaxation that reduces stress and anxiety. Effortless Meditation Technique (EMT) increases self-confidence, enhances relationships and job performance, and helps reduce anger. Research shows that meditation gives a renewed sense of energy, significantly reducing anxiety, a major component of most adjustment problems.
One of the main benefits of practicing meditation is the deep rest that the mind and the body receive during the 15-20-minute session. Practiced daily, EMT helps prevent new stress from accumulating. Research shows that people who practice meditation have more energy, clarity of mind, and better health. And it is a simple way to build down time into your day.
People have many myths about meditation. They picture themselves sitting on top of a mountain in a cave with their eyes closed their legs tucked underneath them, their minds completely blank. However, this is a myth.
Effortless Meditation Tips:
1-During Meditation you still has thoughts.
2-Thoughts will naturally come and go. This is normal. This is natural. The reason that we have thoughts while practicing the technique is that it is the nature of the mind to think.
3-Don't expect phenomenal experience from meditation. It is practiced for the purpose of balancing one’s life, releasing stress, and giving the body and mind a deep rest. It is an excellent way to build down time into your day too.
4-Sit in a comfortable position either in a chair or lie down on the floor. If you lie down you will probably fall asleep, however if that is the easiest way to learn the technique, then begin doing it that way.
5-Close your eyes. Gently put your attention on your breathing. Consciously follow the breath in, inhaling slowly and exhaling slowly, relaxing. Allow the word Relax to drift into your mind. I use the word Relax as a mantra because it is easy to remember. When we use a word like Relax our consciousness can be drawn inwards. It is natural for the word Relax to drift out of your mind again. Don’t chase the thought around in your mind, let it go and when you remember to do so again, easily and effortlessly, say the word Relax.
