Wellness with Anand

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think about meditation?

What is the first feeling that arises when you think about meditation?

For some of you, it may be anticipation or a feeling of relaxation. For some of you, it may be fear or avoidance because meditation is for other people.

When I first started meditating, it began with just a couple of minutes of watching my breath, and for someone who never wanted to look inside, let alone slow down, it was terrifying. I still sometimes find it terrifying going within. Other times it is blissful. Other times it is irritating. Other times it is total silence.

My own experience of meditation is that it changes all the time, and it is an ongoing process. I have been meditating regularly for over ten years, and while it is many things, meditation is never boring. I have felt bored, but the meditation process is not boring. I always get something from it.

If you are unsure of where to start with meditating, I invite you to sit in a comfortable chair and watch the breath going in through your nose and out through your mouth. Set a timer for three minutes and notice how you are before you begin this exercise, and, how you are three minutes later.

Enjoy your cup of meditation, and if you are curious to expand on this, I share 112 meditation techniques from the Osho Book of Secrets on YouTube that you can try in your journey of meditation.

You can also book me for a bespoke meditation programme that would suit your specific needs.
