There are two completely different kinds of mental activity connected with the word meditation: The traditional European activity is thinking about or pondering a subject. The other activity, which is the more common today, is the systematic practice of a mental technique, with the purpose of reaching the calm behind the thoughts and getting to a deeper state of peace or expanded consciousness.

Getting started
It takes daily exercise and discipline if you want to reach the beauty of the now and gain access to the spiritual energy of the universe. But you can make do with less if that suits you better. It is important that you find a balance in your daily life where meditation fits in.
It is a good idea to find a quiet spot where you can have peace for the duration of the meditation. Please reserve 20-30 minutes for your daily meditation practice.
You can lie or sit, whatever feels best for you. And you can change between sitting and lying. It is important that you don’t fall asleep, so if you are tired, sleep. Meditate when you are ready.

What happens in your body when you meditate?
The body is a case, our temple or castle, and we have to take care of it. We do that by listening to it, and the best way to that is by meditating. When we have done it for a long time, we will be able to interpret the signals from the body faster that it takes us to sit down and meditate!
- We learn how to accept the answers that come to us.
- When we rid the body of the thoughts and feelings we have been tied up in, our posture becomes straighter, because we become aware what we are worth. And we have the courage to show it.
- We are strengthened from within when we meditate, and that shines through our mental and physical bodies.
