What is a Body Meditation?

103 37
A body meditation is the kind of meditation that allows you to focus on your body while being in a comfortable position.
 Just like any other forms of meditation, there is no right or wrong method in performing it.
 As long as the goal of achieving enlightenment, relaxation, and centeredness is achieved, you have done it the right way.
  An example of a typical body meditation would go something like this:  Sit, or lie in a comfortable position with your eyes closed.
 As you close your eyes allow your face to relax and take a couple of deep breaths.
 As you breathe in and out noticed now how your chest opens and closes.
 As it does, allow the shoulders and your back to relax.
  You then become aware of the rest of your body, noticing how it is in contact with the bed, cushion or chair.
 You then ground yourself by imagining that you are solid on the ground and feeling this awareness all over your body.
  You can then imagine yourself surrounded in a white light; bubble or any other invisible shield to protect your body and that would make you feel relaxed and protected.
 As you do this, the muscle of your body will soften and become heavy.
   You then pay attention to the spaces between your joints while allowing your muscles to become one with the force of gravity.
 What you are really doing is letting your body totally let go.
  You then become aware of the rest of the muscles in your body and soon move your focus onto the spine by paying attention to its gentle curve and how it rests.
 Just like with the rest of your body, you then allow the muscles surrounding your spine to relax and let go, as well as where your skull is.
   As you are putting your focus and awareness on your body, you can imagine a light, soft light coming in and out of your spine.
 They can be any color or hue of color that you choose as along as you have a focal point that feels most comfortable for you.
 As you do this, you feel this light spreading throughout your body.
 You might feel a tingling sensation, and if this happens, there is no need to worry because it is all part of the relaxation and meditation process.
  Besides all parts of your body with this meditation, you also become aware of your face and how the air touches your face.
 You will then become aware of the how your face functions and how it breathes in and out.
  Further along in the meditation, you will then become aware of space, besides the space between your joints.
 You will become aware of the space around you and inside you.
You can do this meditation for as long as you want or as long as you feel comfortable until you are ready.
 Soon, you will begin to feel connection with the ground you are sitting or lying down on, and then slowly become aware of your surroundings, including the room, the space, and the sounds.
 Without any rush, you allow your eyes to open, and the body meditation ends.
  This is a meditation that can be practiced for as long as you like for as many days as you need to, especially if you are looking to feel relaxed and energized.
 It's one of the many methods of meditation that are out there for you to try.
