Many martial artists today would only concentrate on the external exercises of the art which would be the physical exercises. Many of them do not realize that the internal exercises are very important as well because they would help both the body and the soul. So if one is into martial arts, this martial arts meditation instruction guide may be a good supplement.
When one would meditate, he would usually be doing it once before the lesson and once after. The first one that he does is usually done so that he can relax his mind in order to concentrate on the lesson to be followed. Now the one after is done so that he will be able to relax his brain and body alike.
So when one will do the starting meditation, he will first have to sit down in an Indian sitting position. If he is familiar with the lotus position, then he may also assume this position as it is better for meditating. Once in this position, make sure that the both the back and the neck would be straight and aligned.
After doing that, one has to now close his eyes completely and drop his shoulders. While doing this, one has to make sure that there are no thoughts that would enter his head. One thing that a lot of practitioners would do would be to simply think about the color black so that they are in a sense, not thinking about anything.
Now when one would meditate, he has to actually breathe in a certain way that would benefit the body. There is actually a special type of breathing that one has to do in this state. Now when one would breathe, he has to make his stomach bigger as he inhales. While he exhales, he then has to make his stomach smaller and expel all the air inside.
The next aspect that one would have to take note of would be visualization. One of the key goals of meditation would be to harness certain energies in the body. So while one is meditating, he has to imagine that there is a certain energy that is flowing all around his body parts like through his stomach to his hands, his feet, and other parts.
There would also be a session that one would be doing after the lesson. Now this second one is very similar to the first one except one is lying down. One is lying down in this position so that he will be able to relax his body and his mind from the lesson. Now in the martial arts world, this position is known as the relaxation position. Another difference from the first one would be that one will be breathing out through his mouth at times.
So if one is into martial arts, these are some techniques that he must definitely take note of. In the state of California, many schools there still continue to emphasize the importance of meditation. Many schools in other places have already took out this aspect from their curriculum.
