Below is one of the best videos I have seen on how to meditate, why you should meditate and some of the experiences that you can have in a meditative state.
It’s about an hour-long, but it’s worth watching.
If you have not tried to meditate, or if you don’t think you know HOW to meditate the below will give you both the HOW and the WHY in the first 15 minutes or so.
After that it starts to talk about meditation and pyramids (this was very new to me, never heard of some of this stuff).
It can be really DEEP if you are just starting out, so the first 15 minutes is a must for those new to meditation. Just try to get to the “no thoughts” state by watching your breath. After you can do that then I would suggest going back to watch the remainder of the video, otherwise you might not give that first step a try.
The remaining 45 minutes or so describes experiences that maybe familiar to those who have been meditating for a while. You’ll get a kick out of the reminder of the video, especially if you’ve had any of these experiences while meditating. Enjoy!
