And in our \u201calways on\u201d 21st-century technotopia (I just made that word up, like it?), the health benefits of using meditation to \u201cswitch off,\u201deven for a moment, make it seem like a no-brainer. Less stress, better sleep, improved cognitive function\u2014yes please! If only it weren\u2019t so darned difficult to sit and actually do it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s been seven years since I first experienced meditation in a private session with Andy Puddicombe, founder of then fledgling meditation app Headspace (which has since been downloaded millions of times). At the time, I was so high-strung on a combo of work stress, lack of sleep, and caffeine, as soon as my mind began to quiet, I almost had a panic attack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Which is not the reason it took me until last year, despite having gone on to create conscious lifestyle platform <a href=\"https:\/\/the-numinous.com\/about-the-numinous\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Numinous<\/a>, to find a regular meditation practice. I took classes, used apps, experienced mass meditations at festivals. Nothing stuck. Until finally, I found my \u201czen\u201d with TM, or Transcendental Meditation. And yes, modern life feels infinitely more manageable for it!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a journey I write about in the chapter \u201cHighly Meditated\u201d from my upcoming book, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/the-numinous.com\/material-girl-mystical-world-book\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Material Girl, Mystical World<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0Below is an excerpt from the chapter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">. \u00a0 \u00a0 . \u00a0 \u00a0 . \u00a0 \u00a0 . \u00a0 \u00a0 .<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might have heard the saying,<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> there\u2019s no right way to meditate<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Which essentially speaks to the fact that, as with yoga, different styles of approaches to meditation work for different people. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My friend Ellie Burrows, founder of NYC meditation studio MNDFL, thinks the reason so many of us have a problem maintaining a regular practice is that too many of us are trying to meditate like Buddhist monks\u2014who spend years meditating for hours every day with the ultimate aim of achieving <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nirvana, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a.k.a. transcendence from the human experience of suffering. It is in this state of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">integration with pure spirit, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">say the monks, that we\u2019re able to full-on communicate with God (the Universe, Source, oneness consciousness, etc.). And that the way to get there is by removing all earthly thoughts from our heads\u2014or at least detaching from them so thoroughly we no longer notice they\u2019re there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s a name for this approach: Focused Attention, which involves actively monitoring every single thought that pops into your head and kindly (these are Buddhists, after all) asking it to retreat. Or else simply disregarding it by remaining focused on the breath. Anybody who\u2019s tried this will know that it is extremely difficult. Not least because the mind (well, my mind at least), tends to go: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aha, a thought! Ignore it and go back to the breath . . . Oh . . . wait . . . now I\u2019m thinking about ignoring that thought . . . <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And so on. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While emptying the mind of all thoughts with the view to creating a clear channel to God is a very noble pursuit, it\u2019s not actually what little old me, a Material Girl still going about my daily business in the Material World, is really in this for. Yes, I want to feel connected to my higher Self, but mainly so I can make better choices and have a better time here in the earthly dimensions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enter Mindfulness meditation, or Open Monitoring inking. This approach is slightly less intense, since the aim is to simply become aware of and observe the thoughts as they come and go, without actively trying to make them go away. Because this is far easier than maintaining full-on Focused Attention, Mindfulness meditation has become way popular. But still, the degree of effort involved in mindfully monitoring my thoughts is still enough of a deterrent to doing it daily. It\u2019s also not exactly fun\u2014kind of like being monitor in a kids\u2019 playground in charge of keeping a lid on the action. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For about five years or so I dipped in and out of the above techniques, all the while telling myself this was enough. Plus the fact that even what I <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">doing seemed to be having an effect. After experiencing life (a.k.a. my thoughts) from the perspective of my higher Self firsthand, I naturally found myself stepping back to observe the contents of my head <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">all the time<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014particularly in stressful situations. Instead of getting carried away on a fast train to anxietyville, the internal conversation would go: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oh look, anxiety. Who invited you? <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I was less reactive and undoubtedly more connected to my sense of self. Overall, I felt I could give myself a pat on the back for embracing meditation at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But then I discovered Transcendental Meditation, or TM, and everything fell into place.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><i>Want more? <a href=\"https:\/\/the-numinous.com\/material-girl-mystical-world-book\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here<\/a> to for more information on Ruby&#8217;s book, Material Girl, Mystical World.
