ibcma: What No One Is Talking About
blog Jun 09, 2022
IBCMA has been created to ensure that all our members have a level of self-awareness. If you’ve ever been on our blog before, you know that it’s a place for all things self-aware, not just for self-awareness. IBCMA is where we talk about all the ways we are able to become better, more mindful, and more aware of our lives.
One of the things that IBCMA is good for is a bit of self-analysis; this is because we want to see if we are any better at giving our own selves a bit of awareness. We want to see if we are any better at actually being aware of ourselves and all the things that make up our lives.
Well if you think I am kidding, you should check out our recently released video series on meditation and mindfulness, which I am pretty sure you have seen at least once. You might also like our blog because we have a lot of really beautiful art.
I will admit, I’ve not been meditating in a very long time. I had a chance to do it when I lived in the states but I was never really motivated to get down to that level (and I’m not sure I want to get down there). So the last week or two I’ve been trying to integrate meditation into my daily life. I’ve been trying to teach myself some basic mindfulness to counteract the fact that I don’t really have any practice.
I think one of the biggest reasons that we haven’t seen much of a revival of meditation is that many people just don’t make the effort, and the idea of really putting it into practice is intimidating. In fact, some people who practice meditation only do so because they’re too afraid to ask for guidance. And because many people say that meditation is only helpful for “extreme” situations like meditation retreats or when someone is extremely ill.
Well that is exactly what our research shows. Studies have shown that practicing meditation can have a positive effect on the brain. In fact, some people even find it relaxing. And it seems that we can control our own behaviour by thinking about our own problems. So for example, if someone complains about a headache, then we can think about our own headache and decide if we want to meditate or not.
Meditation is certainly a great way to unwind and get yourself in a good mood, but it’s also helpful when you’re trying to solve a problem. This is why we recommend it. We think that meditation is the way to go for people who are worried about their health (or in our case, death).
In order to meditate, you need to be in a relaxed state. We recommend sitting for at least 30 minutes on a chair with your back against a wall. If you find it too hard sitting in one place, then you can try sitting in a chair in a corner of the room. If you feel comfortable sitting in the corner, then sit facing the wall. Don’t worry about how to sit. Focus on how relaxing it is to sit for that amount of time.
In order to get into that relaxed state, you should be focusing on how you are feeling. It will help if you can imagine you feel something and then visualize that feeling. If you can picture a feeling like joy, love, excitement, etc. then that’s the right state to be in.
If you think of a pleasant feeling, then that’s good. If you feel pain, that is bad. Think of a feeling you can relax into. Think of the feeling of being alive, as in, “I am alive.
