Every scientific study ever done from neuroscience studies to psychological studies to self-report studies have found over and over the incredible benefits of meditation, from lowering people’s stress and anxiety to helping them have more attention and focus, to literally helping them do better on tests, activities at work, and allowing them to increase their reported happiness.
It is the magic method for improving people’s lives mentally and psychologically, and many people would argue spiritually as well.
The Release Meditation Technique
This means basically I’m going to give you a word “release” and you’re going to focus on that word with your eyes closed and your whole focus is simple: to have that word “release” repeating in your mind over and over again very softly.
When a thought comes up, you sense that thought coming up and your goal is, just don’t follow the thought. Don’t obsess about the thought. Don’t just say, “Oh look a thought!” Come right back to the word release.
What I do personally in my practice of meditation is 20 minutes of this mantra-based technique, and I like to do the 20 minutes twice a day.
You don’t have to do it twice a day – just begin, just start. Try and do it daily.
Following the release meditation technique and you will find your psychological health. You’ll feel it. It’s a sensation, a presence, an aliveness and freshness that most people have never experienced in their lifetime.
