Doing it anywhere, anytime

When ever we change things we have to make an effort. But the problem isn't usually the meditation itself. The problem is to schedule it. For some reason it's incredibly difficult for most people to make time for stuff thats not already in the schedule. This is why most webpages and books about meditation tell you to stick to a regular and fixed schedule. They want you to take just a few minutes every day, and get used to the idea of sitting down and do nothing.

It seems that meditation is a hard sell. If it was an easy sell, you'd jump at the chance to harvest the benefits, wouldn't you? So, why is it so hard to convince non-meditators to meditate? Because it just doesn't make sense to a modern rational human being to sit down and do nothing. Forget about NOT taking the phone if it rings.

But in reality, we don't need to sell it. You've aldready bought the idea. That's why you're here, thats why you're reading this post. So, whats holding you back? The knowledge you think you need to do it right? Forget it - there's only one thing you need to know to get started. Or maybe you think you have to learn how to do it? No need, you already know how to do it. Maybe you can't find the time? Of course you can. You can do it right now. yes, right now, in front of the computer.

The sell
But what are the benefits for those of us who meditate? How will you benefit? I mean, you put in an effort, and you're supposed to get something out if it, right? You will benefit through a slight change in your mind, that you might not even notice at first. You'll get a mental antidote and slowly but surely you will be able to reflect before you act, you'll be able to change things in yourself that you're not comfortable with or not happy with.

Meditation will make you see the connections in your life that you don't see right now. And meditation will make it easier for you to succeed in anything you put your mind to. It's basically the same as what athletes have been doing with their body for many years. An athlete is working with his or her body to make it stronger, faster and more flexible. A meditator is working with his or her mind to make the mind stronger, faster and more flexible. A well trained body and a well trained mind is more resistable and can work harder and longer.

Everyone is working out these days. You want to meditate to work out with your mind. Meditate! Do it rationally. Use Rational Meditation. Follow this blog.
