How to Meditate

With the hectic pace and demands of modern life, many people feel stressed and over-worked. It often feels like there is just not enough time in the day to get everything done. Our stress and tiredness make us unhappy, impatient and frustrated. It can even affect our health. We are often so busy we feel there is no time to stop and meditate! But meditation actually gives you more time by making your mind calmer and more focused. A simple ten or fifteen minute breathing meditation as explained below can help you to overcome your stress and find some inner peace and balance.

Meditation can also help us to understand our own mind. We can learn how to transform our mind from negative to positive, from disturbed to peaceful, from unhappy to happy. Overcoming negative minds and cultivating constructive thoughts is the purpose of the transforming meditations found in the Buddhist tradition. This is a profound spiritual practice you can enjoy throughout the day, not just while seated in meditation.

Profound truths shall arise
No complaints, no restraints
Let loose the truths that lie within ;

Discover yourself.... with

“discover yourself” means thinking about who you are and what you want for the future.

This should be your first step. When you think about the activities and subjects you like, it’s easier to match them with jobs, careers, and college majors (also called areas of concentration).

Even if you already have ideas about colleges, jobs, and careers, it’s still a good idea to work through this section. You might find that your interests have changed, or that another job or career more closely matches your ideal.

At this point, it’s also a good idea to talk to someone you trust, like a family member, school counselor, teacher, or friend. School counselors and career centers often have interest inventories or short questionnaires to help you narrow your career focus. These can also help you learn about your strengths and weaknesses. Parents, friends, and teachers can also point out talents you didn’t know you had.
