How To Meditate
1. Be Present
2. Stop all Thoughts
3. Observe from your heart
Mindful presence without thought
is the key to successful meditation.
Life itself is a meditation. There's the peeling the orange meditation, eating the apple meditation and thousands more.
The biggest obstacles are thoughts of past, present and future.
Mark the Thoughts
1. Place paper, pen and a timer in front of you
2. Agree to sit quietly for five minutes and not have one thought
3. Rest your pen point on the paper. Every time you have a thought put a mark on the paper. Close your eyelids and go when ready... when done continue reading
You may be shocked by the high number of unwanted thoughts you had.
Let’s change something and do it again.
Grounding
Remove rubber soled shoes because they prevent grounding. Leather soled shoes are okay but not as good as bare feet with socks. Socks keep your feet warm which allows good energy flow.
Sit with your back erect, feet flat on the floor and tongue touching the roof of your mouth.
Visualize yourself as a large sturdy tree. See your roots grow beneath you deep into Earth. You are solidly grounded.

You probably had fewer marks. Unwanted thoughts have controlled you.
Gold Sun Rejuvenation
In your mind’s eye visualize a gold sun above your head. Allow the sun’s rays to go out and collect your energy wherever you left it. Maybe at work, at your family’s home, a place you visited or wherever you see it.
Now pull your sun’s rays back into your gold sun and watch it expand. Allow your sun to engulf you, filling your body with gold light.
