Meditation

You may find using meditation techniques may help. There is a wide range of meditation practices for example:

Concentration upon:

• an object, such as a candle flame
• sound, such as mantras
• shapes, such as Mandela's
• the breath - deep and controlled natural breathing rate

Visualisation of a journey:

• walking in the forest
• walking by the sea shore
• swimming with the dolphins
• flying with the eagles
• visiting your Spiritual Guides

(audio tapes can assist this process)  

Seeing your problems objectively - All these practices take the mind off the current stresses and worries and allow the physical body to temporary relax easing your physical and emotional problems. Sometimes this process can make you see your problems objectively and help you find the source of your imbalance. If you find it hard to concentrate, don’t give up. The more you do it, the easier it becomes.
