Many spiritual teachers, teach Meditation as a very good process for raising your vibration. An effective Meditation would be one that distracts you from any physical awareness that causes resistance within your vibration, for when you turn your attention away from what holds your vibration in a lower place, your vibration will naturally rise. It is like a withdrawal of consciousness, but while you are still awake. When you are awake, and in a state of meditation, you can then consciously recognize what it feels like to be in a higher vibration so that you will immediately know whenever you are focusing on something that is causing resistance.

You could say that the process of Meditation is a shortcut to changing your beliefs, for in the absence of thought, there is no resistance within you; and your cork, so to speak, bobs naturally back up to the surface.

Now, to begin the process of Meditation, sit in a quiet space where you are not likely to be interrupted. Wear comfortable clothing. It does not matter if you sit in a chair or on the floor, or even lie on your bed unless you ten to fall asleep when doing so. The important thing is that your body be comfortable.
Now, close your eyes, relax, and breathe. Slowly draw air into your lungs, and then enjoy the comfortable release of that air.  As your mind wanders, gently release any thought, or at least do not encourage it by pondering it further - and refocus upon your breathing.

You are, by nature, one who wants to focus, so in the beginning, this process of Meditation will feel unnatural, and you will find your mind wanting to return to tings you have been focusing on previously. When that happens, relax, breathe again, and try to release the thought.

You will find it easier to quiet your mind if you will choose small thoughts that do not have the potential for expanding into something interesting. You could focus upon your own breathing. You could mentally count your breaths, in and out. You could listen to the dripping of a faucet… in the choosing the soft, gentle thought, you will leave behind all thoughts of resistance - and your vibration (like the cork) will naturally rise.

This is not a process where you work on your desires, but instead, this is one of quieting your mind. As you do so, any resistance will subside, and your state of vibration will rise to its natural, pure state.

This is a state of allowing where, for just a few moments, you stop running the show. You stop trying to make anything happen. This is the time when you are saying to your Source energy, to you Inner Being:  Here I am, in a state of allowing. I’m allowing Source Energy to flow purely through me.

Fifteen minutes of quieting your mind will change your life because it will allow the Energy that is natural to you to flow. You will feel better in the moment, and you will feel more energized when you come out of it.
