Meditations

There are many forms of meditations found in all traditions of the world.  Meditation has become popular in modern culture for relieving stress, developing peace of mind, overcoming pain and anxiety, healing physical somatic illness, overcoming mental and emotional disorders and as an adjunct therapy for neuroses, obsessions and addictions. Meditation and mindfulness has entered the fields of medicine and psychology in modern times to accompany allopathic and traditional medicine and psychotherapeutic interventions.

Meditation has its roots in eastern philosophy and spiritual practices and can be found in western religious disciplines.  Meditation is very ancient and has been practiced for thousands of years in ancient cultures. With so much information becoming available, it is easy to access writings that teach various techniques for meditation, many classes, workshops, retreats, schools and teachers.  One must tread carefully and seek out those paths that are appropriate for oneself.

Meditation in the Forest



You don`t really need to be in a forest to do this meditation.  You can however invoke the feeling of being in a forest by remembering an experience of the fresh smells of a wooded area, the sound in the woods, the air, the things you see - the plants, the kind of trees and ground cover, and anything else that is soothing about being in a forest.  Imagine you are there and how it makes you feel.  Now follow these steps:

  1. Find a quiet place wherever you are, where you will not be disturbed for at least five minutes.
  2. Seat yourself in a comfortable position.  Try to keep your back straight and your head aligned with your spine.  If it helps to have a cushion in the small of your back or behind your neck for support, feel free to use whatever supports you. 
  3. Gently place your hands on your thighs or bring them together in front on your lap. If your hands are separate, bring your thumb and index finger together or, if your hands are together cup one hand in the other facing upward with thumbs touching. 
  4. If being seated is difficult for you and you are somewhere where you can lie down and that is your preference, lie flat on your back, bring your knees up comfortably and keep your arms at your side palms up. You can use a rolled up towel in the small of your back.
  5. Close your eyes.
  6. Breathe deeply and slowly.
