Anyone can successfully practice meditation. Failure only occurs because many
people practice things that are not really meditation at all. When people say to me, ‘Meditation doesn’t work for me’, it always reminds me of what a great friend
of mine said to a corporate cus tomer who, when asked whether he’d tried a certain
motivation technique with his staff replied: “Oh we’ve tried that, it doesn’t work.”, to which my friend retorted, “It may not be what you tried, maybe it’s just how you tried it.”
Many people who have given up on meditation complain that they cannot concentrate, their mind is full of thoughts, they cannot get any peace, saying “It is so frustrating, I don’t seem to be getting any better at it”, but everyone of these comments tell
me the same thing: you’re doing it all wrong! If you are sitting down to meditate in order to attain something, become something or transform something, that’s the start of your frustration right there. It’s like a power station transforming coal into electricity. If you mine the raw coal, just one part of the process, and then say, “Well I’ve failed, I didn’t create
electricity”, it would be obvious that you had not completed the whole process
and your expectations are too high. This analogy is the equivalent of people
sitting down to attain a focussed mind from meditation. There are parts to the
process that need to be observed before you can attain concentration.
Anyway, concentration is not the point of meditation either. It too, is just another
part of the process. It is not simply having created electricity that is important, it
is how we apply the power that makes a difference in our lives.
This Practical Guide to Meditation That Really Works is part of my commitment
to helping people with their awareness practice. This beginners guide is explored in more detail on my website Michael Paul Stephens - Wellness Philosophy for Personal, Community and Corporate Wellbeing his guide will help you overcome some of the pitfalls and barriers to meditation that I have faced in my practice. Meditation is not about enlightenment, although it is a tool for its attainment, it is not about being able
to sit with single-point focus in a full lotus-position, although the focus is useful;
