Five Point Star Meditation embodies simplicity and practicality, and was specifically created to help overcome the difficulties many people perceive or experience when considering meditation. Any person can follow this meditation.
It is concise and flexible, allowing you to experience meditation in your own way, anywhere and any time, without any set expectations, and being just twenty minutes it is practical for even the busiest days.
The meditation begins with basic muscle relaxation to help you learn how to relax your body and release tension. A relaxed body is more conducive to relaxing the mind. You are then guided to focus on your breath – your Unique Body Rhythm – this helps you to shift your focus away from your thoughts and emotions towards your internal quiet space.
Focusing on your breath, the natural rhythm within you, has many positive outcomes:
- An immediate calming effect
- Enhanced focus, helping you to steer clear of unnecessary thoughts and emotions and stay “present”
- It helps you become more “in tune” with your physical body, promoting an increase in your internal well-being
Learning how to relax your whole body, as you do with Five Point Star Meditation, means you also learn how to feel the difference between tension and release, leading to a greater awareness of your body.
Using these two basic principles, relaxing the body and listening to your breath, you can achieve an immediate feeling of physical relaxation and mental calmness.
During the Meditation, you will not hear background music or bells, gongs, birds, waterfalls or chimes. This is so you are better able to focus, feel and listento your breath.
When focusing on, feeling and listening to your breath, your whole body becomes absorbed in your Unique Body Rhythm.
This experience increases your awareness – of your self, your body and your life.
The five key skills you learn through Five Point Star Meditation are:
- to relax your whole body from the daily physical, mental and emotional stress
- to feel your body and become more “in tune” with it
- to listen to your breath, a natural and constant rhythm within you that has an immediate calming effect
- to refocus your attention away from internal chatter, helping you gain a clearer perspective
- to experience a quiet place, free from worries, thoughts and stress
