You can get an immediate experience of this witnessing by closing your eyes and by imagining or visualizing yourself standing on top of a mountain. Visualization is a good way to help you focus. Imagine you are watching or witnessing what is going on far below. Visualize your thoughts as busy little ants rushing to and fro whilst you watch from a distance quite bemused by it all.
Your thoughts are like wild untamed children and so you need to learn how to hold or contain them and to stop them running around out of control and making a nuisance of themselves. Let your thoughts know that you will listen to them when You are ready.
Yet, if you are not accustomed to meditation you will need to learn a few basics steps and get a basic understanding of what it is all about to help you on your way.
Or another way to relax and become still inside might be to imagine yourself resting at the very bottom of the ocean where it is all so quiet and motionless. At exactly the same time as resting here you might allow yourself to become aware that the wind is whipping up the (thought) waves on a very choppy sea on the surface. Are you going to let yourself be tossed around by the choppy waves? Or are you going to rest in the motionless quiet of the deep, deep ocean and feel very still and at peace?
You need to stand back and view your thought processes from a place further removed. You can develop what I like to call “The Witnesser” inside of you. This is a part of you that is detached in a kind of way from being fully involved in what you are doing.
You may find your awareness starting to move from your head to your heart which is generally considered to be the window to your soul and which is where inspiration arises, where you can access a deeper wisdom. This wisdom will become a great resource
Meditation is an excellent way to relax your mind and body
Have you ever had the experience of being angry at someone or about something and at the same time you seem to be watching yourself be angry? There seems to be a part of you that is witnessing what is going on even though you are also caught up in the situation at the same time.
You focus on your body in two ways. Firstly you can concentrate on your breathing and as you focus on your breath gently going in and going out you will find that this focusing has the effect of stilling your mind.
Or you could visualize a light spreading through your body little by little until your whole body is bathed in light. There are many ways to meditate but the main idea is to focus on one thing or feeling and to hold that focus so that you are not distracted by the many busy thoughts that otherwise have a tendency to swirl around and run havoc, almost out of control.
Meditation is about finding a way to stop automatically hooking in to your thoughts [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to stop allowing your thoughts to dominate you and instead learning to tether them.
So [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you can imagine being on top of the mountain, resting at the bottom of the ocean, floating in the universe, being in a beautiful place of nature with blue skies, fresh green grass and a bubbling stream and so on …
Basically it is about relaxing. Usually it is a good idea to start by relaxing the body. Then you need to relax the mind and let go of all those busy, busy mental thoughts that run through your head almost non-stop for most of the time, day and night, night and day.
Or you can focus on your body…

Secondly you can focus on relaxing the muscles in your body, starting with your toes and gradually moving up, through your calves, thighs, tummy [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], arms, chest, shoulders, neck and so on up to the top of your head relaxing the muscles as you go
By meditating and stilling the mind and with constant practice you will experience many benefits. You will find yourself benefiting from a clearer focus in your everyday affairs. And more energy is released as resistances and tight constrictions in your body start to dissolve.
