How to Get Maximum Benefit from Listening to Meditation CDs
Online Self Help with Sandi Anders, M.Div., R.Y.T.
First and foremost – it’s easy to relax when you are listening to a peaceful meditation CD! Please don't "try hard" when you are listening and learning to relax! Just lie back and get comfortable, turn on your CD player and allow the meditation CD to have its intended effect.
What you need is:
-
a quiet place where you will not be disturbed
-
30-40 minutes
-
CD player or ipod
Get into a position that is comfortable for you. Lie down if possible, or find a comfortable seated or reclining position. The idea is to relax completely so that you are not using any muscle tension to support yourself. You may want to use pillows or cushions to create more comfort and support.
Start playing your meditation CD.
Close your eyes and rest comfortably as you listen. If your mind wanders, that's ok. You can just notice that, and gently, without judgment, bring your attention back to the listening.
Breathe . . . Relax . . .
You will feel your body and mind begin to relax as you allow the peaceful words and soothing music to wash over you. If you’re deeply tired, you may even fall asleep. That’s okay – you will take in the meaning of the words in your subconscious and awaken refreshed and rested.
Please do not listen to a meditation CD while you are driving!
To receive the greatest benefit – especially when you are beginning to work on stress reduction, listen to your meditation CD every day, at approximately the same time of day. Learning to relax is like changing customary, habitual behavior. Establishing a new routine and carrying it out is the best way to teach your body to relax.
If you’re using your meditation CD to go to sleep, try using it every night for a week. Then try one night without listening and see what happens. You may find that you want to use it each night, or every other night – or some other schedule that works best for you.
If you have a demanding day before you, it can be helpful to listen to a meditation CD in the quiet of early morning before you move into your day. Imagine – starting a busy day from a place of Deep Relaxation!
