Meditation At Home For BEGINNERS - Why YOU Should Meditate _ BeerBiceps Meditation

What's here everybody in today's video , we're going to talk about how to meditate .

And I'm putting out this video today because what I honestly feel is that even from a health and fitness perspective , today's video is that one video that can absolutely turn your life around and be by myself .

I keep talking about becoming the best version of yourself .

And what I honestly feel is that meditation has a very crucial part to play in that journey of you reaching your maximum potential .

A lot of successful people all over the world , Steve Jobs , Hugh Jackman and even Shane Watson have turned to meditation in order to enhance the rest of their lives , Shane Watson , one of cricket's greatest all rounders in the modern era has actually said that towards the end of his career , meditation is what helped him cope with injuries , injury recovery , muscle recovery are just a few of the benefits of meditation .

And if you're the kind of person who believes only in scientifically backed studies and articles , that's exactly what I'm going to link in the description box .

If you're more interested in these topics , make sure you give it a read but I'm going to go over the benefits .

Super briefly , a recent study done at UCL A showed that people who meditate have a high a level of G in your brain .

Gur means the folds in the cortex of your brain .

And these enhanced amount of folds are actually linked with a fast of processing power .

You are essentially becoming smarter and your brain is becoming faster and more active through meditation .

What's even cooler is that long term meditation was linked with more gut education .

The more you meditate , the more your gut education and the more your processing power .

So essentially , you can think of meditation as some kind of a brain workout where you're enhancing the power of your brain by just meditating for 10 to 20 minutes a day .

There have also been studies that show that meditation changes certain parts of your brain .

It increases the size of those parts that are linked with happiness , linked with the ability to learn to memorize and to focus even cooler is that meditation has been linked to decrease those areas that are linked with depression and stress .

Essentially , you're just enhancing your overall state of being through something as simple as meditation .

But forget all the signs for a minute .

If you want to know more about these studies , I'll link them down below .

Let's talk a little bit about my personal experience .

Personally , I just took up meditation initially to help me cope with my muscle soreness from the gym .

I read this article about how meditation helps you deal with your muscle soreness , how it increases your recovery .

And that's how I got into it .

But I felt all these other effects because of my long-term meditation .

All I do is that I meditate for 20 minutes a day , every day before I go to bed .

That is all and just like gym .

This is one of those things where you have to kind of create a habit to actually see the benefits .

You're not gonna see any benefits .

If you just meditate once in a while , the actual benefits of meditation , this increased level of happiness will only happen after you meditate every single day .

Now , coming to the actual tutorial , how do you go about meditation ?

The first thing you need to understand is that everyone's got their own definitions of what meditation is .

It's a very subjective concept .

Now , I'm not a Yogi , I'm a life coach and I'm a fitness coach and I do help people with their meditation and I've been able to help people successfully with their meditation .

So in today's video , I'm just gonna give you my opinion on how to go about this problem .

But what I do promise you is that if you follow the guidelines , I'm setting down , it will make a difference to your life .

Now , the theoretical definition of meditation is that it's a disconnect .

People say that when you meditate , you're just supposed to disconnect from your real life .

Don't think of too many things .

You're just supposed to concentrate on your own breath , which for the average person is kind of hard to do .

You can't just sit in one place and meditate and disconnect from everything else .

Obviously , you're gonna have a lot of other thoughts in your head .

What you need to understand is that this is completely normal , it's human nature .

So I'm going to go about a step by step guide of how to meditate and try kind of minimizing these thoughts in your head .

The first is that you sit down in a quiet place ideally in complete darkness and you fold your legs , you sit cross legged and you just keep your arms comfortable .

However you want , you can even sit down on a chair if you find that comfortable and then you can begin your meditation process .

Mindfulness , meditation is essentially you're taking deep breaths , you inhale completely and exhale and all you've got to concentrate on is your breath and you do this for about 20 minutes .

Now , the trick here is to avoid thinking about 20 other things .

So you consciously try focusing on your breath and do this for 20 minutes every single day .

Even if 20 minutes seems like a lot , you can start with doing it for about 10 minutes a day .

But the key is to just get yourself to doing this every time you open your eyes after a meditation session , I promise you , you will be a lot calmer and the world will feel different .

What I just spoke about is something called mindfulness meditation , where you just focus on a single thing and distract yourself from every other thought .

And in this case , it's your breath .

But from what I've observed and from my own personal experience , I couldn't go about doing mindfulness meditation , especially as a beginner .

So the meditation that I practice and that I teach my clients is something called home chanting meditation .

Now , this has nothing to do with Hinduism or God or religion .

What you've got to understand is that home is kind of a tangible distraction for your mind when you're chanting home .

It's that same distraction that helps you disconnect from your real life .

That's all it is .

In order to go about home chanting meditation .

Once again , you've just got to sit in a comfortable place ideally in complete darkness and take a deep breath and just let out .

And o so for 75% of your breath , you're gonna to chant the o and for 25% of the breath you're gonna chant the mm That's all you have to remember .

Once again , don't worry too much about the technique .

It's not about how you sit or how you chant it .

It's just about getting yourself to chanting home every single day .

That's what's going to make a difference .

You know how , when you go to the gym and you just get disconnected from life and you feel great after the gym .

Thanks to all those feel good hormones .

Meditation is just another way of releasing all those feel good hormones .

After a point after you make it a habit , it becomes your disconnect , it becomes a source of recreation and that's where you want to reach .

But rule number one is that you just create a habit , push yourself to meditate and make sure you meditate for at least 10 to 20 minutes every single day .

That's all you need to know .
