To control your body, you need to learn how to breathe properly
This consists at four steps:
- To inhale deep
- To hold the air (store)
- To exhale deeply
- To hold your organism empty.
And repeat this for about 4 or more times, every time you have to count at least until 7 for every step.
This is a good practice for purifying your blood and detoxing your whole body.
You also have to stretch and tense all your muscles to their maximum after each breathing.
The second grand step is concentration:
This is our being's fixed attention on the necessities of the life. Avoid dissipating your forces and acting without purposes or to respond to thoughts and unworthy destructive feelings or contrary to our soul’s nobility. Concentration allows to give meaning to our aspirations. The main step is to be a winner over your own limitation, incongruities, bad habits, ineptitude, incompetence, vanities and illusions! Concentration is to be focus on your goals that we yearn and we look for.
Lastly we reach meditation and thinking correctly with energy and purity of purpose and consistency in the aspiration. To meditate is, in short, to put to contribution all your being to the realization of an ideal or of a well formulated decision.
It is the single most effective technique available for eliminating stress, promoting health, increasing creativity and intelligence, and attaining inner happiness and fulfilment.
In view of the many advantages and total lack of disadvantages meditation can be recommended for everybody and will be beneficial to everybody
In conclusion I can say there are a lot of advantages by doing meditation.
We can learn more about meditation.
.
We can learn from the other members' experiences. If we create an environment of trust and confidentiality; the people can talk about their inner experiences (and their interpretations of those experiences), their difficulties and successes during meditation, their ways of incorporating their insights into daily life, etc.
We can develop techniques with we interact with a partner. For example:
With eyes open or closed, we visualize light surrounding the other person.
We synchronize our breathing so that our inhalations and exhalations are simultaneous.
One person inhales while the other person exhales; during the exhalation, that person sends out a quality (such as "peace"), which is taken in by the person who is inhaling.
We do some type of meditation while holding one another's hands, to feel the energy passing between us.
