Today I had a blast with my friends: we headed out to watch a movie, enjoyed pizzas and chocolate cakes. So can parties make us better mediators? Let’s see:

Co-Creating

Yes that’s what it’s called, just another name for parties or chilling-out or hanging-out. All these times we are interacting with other people or ‘Co-Creating’. Parties are best scenarios many individuals gather to have fun, to be happy to share joy.

This event of sharing moments of happiness is more than wonderful to have a shift in conscious, meet new people and create a better understanding about self. Anyways, that’s another story, the question is: How do parties make you better at meditation?

After Party Meditation Technique

Parties are so exciting and usually leaves people tired and a good sleep is what all prefer and if one is drunk, there is no other option they want to opt for. But at this time, if you could:

1. Sit or lay down for a minute.
2. Close your eyes
3. Take a deep breathe in and out.
4. Smile.
5. Now without thinking, just notice the energy that’s flowing through your body.
6. Notice the positive vibes around and inside you.
7. Notice how wonderful you are feeling right now.
8. Just notice, just observe, be aware of how your are feeling.
9. Your mind will wander off to some good laughs, good/rude comments or whatever. Just let it be, don’t try to control and pay no attention.
10. You are to focus on how good you are feeling, not the reason behind it.
11. Now you can fall asleep doing this (optional obv!)

What it Does

In your awareness and observation of the awesome and energetic vibration, you create more of it. You become aware of it’s vibrational nature, you began to know it by heart. And doing this will make it part of your dominant vibration so for at least a week (if not more), you will smile and somewhere inside, you will feel wonderful no matter what.

You will smile but you won’t know the reason, you will still be happy about the good time you had and evolve with it.

Better Meditator?

If you can meditate after long tiring (but exciting) party, you are creating a sense of self-discipline (polite one!) and sort of mental control. This helps you at times when you feel rotten and bad, you know that meditation can help but you don’t feel like meditating. At situation like that, you will have your muscles of will power toned up.

More Influencing?

When you are smiling in your office/school/college, when you are radiating happiness, no matter what (you don’t know why, oh but wait… you know!) I am sure people will love you. They will value everything you say.

Can’t you feel the awesome vibes from this post? That’s because I partied and meditated!

Let me know what you think about the idea. And do let me know if it worked for you, I am sure there are loads and loads of parties coming up for you. Enjoy!

Namaste.

When I started talking to my friends about meditation, I discovered that many of them think of meditation as a chore, a supplement pill that you could take daily or as a religious ritual. But it is none. Meditation is something as natural as breathing.

Meditation is all about calming your mind’s chatter, letting your body relax, letting your thoughts go and discover the real self in that moment. It is a realization that you are far more than your body, mind and conscious. In fact, most part of us is non-physical and vibrational – soul. It is like going on a treasure hunt, and finding the treasure –you.

What happens next, no language in world can describe. It’s a sleep deeper than sleep and awareness beyond what we know as conscious.
Why should I do it? Why it’s cool?!

“Meditation is pure awesomeness.”

There are loads and loads of reasons. I’ve written the main ones and divided them in sections.

Cool Meditation = Cool Body

• Improves body’s general state of health
• Maintains healthy Blood Pressure
• Increases blood flow to every part of body (especially to heart and brain)
• Increases patience (you don’t loose your temper so often)
• Fast Healing: be it post-operational, wounds, injuries or anything.

And there are many more. If you have a scientific mind (like me ) then an article from my favourite science magazine New Scientist :

“Meditating does more than just feel good and calm you down, it makes you perform better – and alters the structure of your brain, researchers have found.”

I’ve read articles in Nature magazine too, but you need to pay to read them.

Cool Meditation = Cool You

• Improves concentration: That’s a big one! Very helpful for, both, students and people at work. Make most out of your time, even if kid next door loves rock music!
• Reduces Stress: Tired of looking tired and exhausted? Well, not anymore!
  Boosts Self-Confidence: We know it’s priceless
• More control on thoughts: So when mind tries to procrastinate you can have your control back.

I suggest that mediation breaks the illusion that mind runs the show. We began to realize our true potential and respect & love ourselves even more.

So, where to being?

I will give you some easy steps for starters. Wear easy clothes (you don’t want to keep adjusting that funky jeans, do you?). Now what you need is a comfortable place to sit in. Yoga postures do help, but to start sit in whatever way you like. Just make sure that every part of your body is relaxed. Ease out any stress. Here are steps:

• Close your eyes
• And take a deep breathe in and out ( 2 times)
• Now focus on your breathing, feel yourself breathing in and out.
• Let thoughts come and go, let feelings come and go… just focus on breath.
• If your mind goes on your favourite scene from LOST, lovingly and patiently bring it back and focus on your breathe

Your mind might doze off to sleep or something similar (it’s relaxing finally, you see) let it be. Just focus on your breathe.
That’s it go for as long as you can. Maybe 5 min in beginning and as you will begin to explore and get more comfortable. You will automatically want to do it more.

So how was your experience? Let me know in comments:
