Meditation – Using Life Quotes For Meditation and Understanding of Your World
December 3rd, 2009 by Dee Marie

Simple techniques of meditation for beginners may consist of sitting comfortably on your bed focusing of a peaceful thought or lying on the floor mentally visualizing your body. Many associate meditation with the old Buddhist monk in his orange robes, or perhaps somebody secluding themselves in a far off temple for several years. Well, beginners learning to meditate will not have to retreat to a secluded temple to get hands on experience, you won’t have to visit a cave or grow a beard either. Meditation, similar to yoga, are words that everybody knows yet are probably unfamiliar with what they really mean.

The first process of meditation involves simply focusing on the life quote, sitting quietly, and thinking about what the quotation means to you.

Often times, after meditating on a quotation about life you will find that the quotation has more than one meaning. If you repeatedly meditate and reflect on a quote the meaning can change from day to day, or the underlying meaning of a quote will change as you grow and evolve as a human being.

Another method that places your body and mind in ready state for meditation is the yoga pose called Savasana or The Corpse.

In this pose, or asana, the body is immobile similar to a corpse, although the mind remains awake, yet relaxed. The word “Sav” in sanscript does actually mean corpse. Savasana removes fatigue from your body and calms the mind. Every part of the body is positioned so as to reach total relaxation. When practicing this particular yoga pose the sensory organs (eyes, ears and tongue) should be totally relaxed and “switched off” to the world.

Beneath the quotation allow yourself to freely write the thoughts that come to you and the meaning of the quotation at the moment.

Take the time to think up different meanings about the expressions you have chosen, and give yourself some time to deliberate, contemplate, and reflect on each word in the quotation.

Ask yourself, what else can this quotation on life teach me?” Then document your answers. This method of contemplation is particularly nice because you can later review your journal and see how you felt about the life quotes when you first encountered them.

When you review your written meditations you may find that your perspective about the quotation has changed. You can then re-document the quote and jot down your new thoughts about the quote in question.

It is fun to re-examine quotations to see how you have grown, how your mindset has changed, and to identify different areas in your life where the wise words of others caused you to think deeply
