How Long Should You Meditate?

How To Meditate

So, how long should you meditate?  There is an old proverb that says that the body won’t go where the mind hasn’t gone before. Many successful people claim that they owe their accomplishments to visualization. Every big achievement started in someone’s mind, and only then was it realized.  This article is a how to and how long to meditate guide.

Our subconscious minds don’t know the difference between imagination and reality. This means that if you can visualize something and imagine it in vivid detail, your mind will believe that it is actually happening. Your subconscious mind will then start to figure out ways to make it happen. It will use its creative force and power to make your dreams come true. You don’t have to think about how it will happen because it all happens on a subconscious level,

When you visualize something vividly, including all the details, your subconscious mind will remember that image and use it as a map to get you to the place where you want to be. It will do everything to manifest that mental picture and turn it into your reality. There are many ways to practice visualization. We suggest that you choose the one that is easiest and most convenient for you. Many people claim that the most effective way to practice visualization is to meditate.

The Visual Imagery Meditation and How to Manifest

Although it may sound complicated, this type of visualization is actually pretty simple. All you have to do is to visualize a scenario in your mind and then imagine yourself actively participating in that scenario. You can imagine everything you want and everything that makes you feel great. Remember when you were a kid and you used to daydream about the things that you wanted to do when you grew up. You can do something similar now. Engage all of your senses to make your visualization more effective. Imagine how you would feel in your ideal life, what you would see, what you would hear and so on. The more details you can imagine, the better the results.

We encourage you to incorporate visual imagery in your day, perhaps as a part of your morning or evening routine. You will be surprised by the change that this simple exercise can bring to your life. Here are the steps that you should follow for the best results:

Step 1: Know what you want – begin the Manifest

Some people complain that their visualization wasn’t effective. The problem is that they didn’t even know what they wanted to achieve. If you want visualization practice to work for you, you have to decide what you actually want. Many people go through life without being aware of what it is they really want. If you are one of them, , take some time to figure out what you actually want before you start your visualization practice. Find a quiet spot in your home and give yourself enough time to reflect on your vision. When you figure out what you want, it is time to ask yourself another question: Why do I want that? It is important to be completely honest with yourself. Knowing your why as well as your what will make visualization so much easier.

Try to be as specific as possible. For example, if your dream is to have a big beautiful house, ask yourself what your ideal house actually looks like? What color are the walls, how many rooms does it have, does it have a garden or maybe a swimming pool? When you answer all these questions, your dream becomes realistic. Now you can make it an objective and your subconscious mind will start working on it.

Step 2: Prepare for Meditation

It is important to prepare yourself for meditation. Find a quiet and comfortable spot and make sure that you won’t be disturbed for the next 15 minutes. You can meditate whenever you want, but the best time is in the morning or evening. If possible, you should meditate on an empty stomach, so it may be best to do it before breakfast.

Step 3: Meditate

You can sit or lie down, whichever is the most comfortable. Allow your body and mind to relax. Close your eyes and deepen your breath. With every inhale let your stomach expand outward, and with every exhale let it sink. When you feel calm and relaxed, you can start breathing normally. Now imagine that you are travelling into your future. Try to imagine your future self in as much detail as possible and as vividly as you can. The goal is to start feeling as if you are already living your dream. If your dream is to become an entrepreneur, imagine yourself holding an important meeting. What does your professional life look like? What does your private life look like? Imagine yourself traveling to the exotic destinations that you have always wanted to visit. Feel as if you were already there, living your ideal life. Spend 10 minutes visualizing your future life.

Step 4: Properly end Meditation

It is important to know how you plan to end your meditation. If you hurry to finish it, you could ruin everything. Give yourself a couple of minutes to gently come out of the meditative state. Start moving your body slowly. move your arms, shoulders, neck. Gently open your eyes. You will probably feel calmer and more optimistic than before the meditation.

If you really want visualization to work for you, you should make it a part of your daily routine. Don’t expect miracles after one visualization. Keep it up until you start seeing the first results. You will achieve what you want sooner than you may think, but it is important that you don’t give up.  You will eventually manifest everything that you want from life.

Conclusion

Visual imagery is one of our most powerful tools, but it won’t happen overnight. It is important to be patient and stick to your practice. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t see results at the beginning. Enjoy yourself during the process, and the results will eventually come. With time, everything that you once imagined can become real.  This is the Law of Attraction and visual meditation to help manifest.
