The What

Becoming Aware and Releasing Negativity is a quantum-based meditation for a general release of stress, anger, and tension. It also gives you the opportunity to practice self-awareness.  Self-awareness makes you aware of your beliefs, thoughts, and language patterns. This way, awareness helps you determine which views and words are helping you feel better and which ones make you feel bad.  And naturally from that place of awareness, you can then make a decision which beliefs and behaviors you would like to keep in order to grow and improve yourself.

The How

When you first begin this meditation process, you may feel your mind wandering, certain parts of your body feeling uncomfortable, thoughts distracting you, twitching, etc. These are all completely normal and natural reactions in the beginning.  When you find yourself experiencing discomfort or distracted in any way, bring your attention to your breathing. With enough practice, you’ll become an expert at this!  Until then, only do what you can and keep returning your attention to your breathing.  When breathing, remember that with each inhalation, fill your lungs to capacity, expanding your belly and diaphragm to take in as much air as possible. Then slowly exhale, gently contracting the muscles in your abdomen to remove every last bit of air through your nose.

Location: Choose a space with a minimum of distractions. If possible, make the area dim. If using this mindfulness process at home, choose a private place in the house where you could return to practicing this meditation all the time.  There’s no problem with background noises or music in your location, just as long as you hear it more so as background noise rather than active noise that you find distracting. As you continue to develop your practice, your ability to tune out background sounds will likely improve. One day noises that you find distracting may become completely unnoticed.

Position: Sit upright/straight on your chair with your feet touching the ground or limbs crossed (Indian style) on the floor.  You can grab your headphones if you have them. If not, play this meditation on your electronic device so that you can get the best sound system.
