When you stop to think about all the ways negativity can hold you back, you surely must realize how important it is to bring yourself out of the funk you might be in, and fill your being with positive energy and the light of healing, instead.

One of the best ways to remove negative energy is through various forms of meditation. Whether you meditate alone, with a teacher, or with the aid of a guided meditation soundtrack, you are certain to find that you enjoy the secluded sense of enlightenment as well as the refreshed, positive outlook meditating can bring. There’s no need to visit a church or temple to meditate, unless you feel that doing so helps you to focus. It is something that takes only a few minutes, and it’s one of those wonderful things you can engage in just about anywhere.

There are as many forms of meditation as there are people in the world. If you don’t meditate now and you want to, but don’t feel you have the time to really work on a specific act of meditation, you’ll find the following methods useful for replacing negative thoughts and feelings with a more positive, reality based sense of being.
