1
Today we're going to talk about exactly how to meditate.
2
I'm going to go over everything from where to meditate,
3
what you should do with your body,
4
what you should do with your mind,
5
and even how long you should do it for,
6
so you can start reaping some of these benefits.
7
All of the information I'm giving you today is taken from a book
8
that is recommended by just about every meditation forum on the internet,
9
Mindfulness in Plain English.
10
Where should I meditate?
11
Technically, you can meditate anywhere you like because it is an exercise for the mind.
12
You can meditate sitting in a chair,
13
sitting on the floor, and even laying in bed.
14
However, there is an optimal way to meditate.
15
It's best to avoid meditating in bed because you tend to fall asleep.
16
Meditating on the floor with your back straight up is actually considered to be the most formal and beneficial way to meditate.
17
And this is because it keeps you wide awake and allows you to sit for long periods of time.
18
What do I do with my body?
19
The first thing you want to keep in mind when meditating is your feet.
20
A lot of well-seasoned meditators will preach about how your feet need to be on top of each other.
21
However, for the majority of people who are beginners,
22
it's perfectly fine to have them criss-crossed on top of each other like a pretzel.
23
Your arms are resting on your thighs,
24
your hands rest on top of each other and form a cup shape.
25
Your thumbs can touch, it's up to you.
26
What's important is that your arms feel relaxed.
27
Your back is straight and your head is completely level.
28
Your head is not tilted upwards or downwards, just forward in terms of what to do with your eyes.
29
You have an option of meditating with your eyes open or with your eyes closed.
30
However, for most beginners, I would recommend you to meditate with your eyes closed as it's easier to focus.
31
If you do choose to meditate with your eyes open,
32
do not focus your eyes on an object in front of you.
33
Instead, look into the distance.
34
How long should I meditate for?
35
Now, before you start your meditation session,
36
you'll want to set an alarm.
37
This is because time tends to feel a lot slower when you first start meditating.
38
So setting an alarm helps prevent a constant need to wonder about how much time is left in the session.
39
For first time meditators, I'd recommend you start with just 5 minutes on the clock.
40
As you make meditation into a daily practice and get more used to sitting in the meditative position,
41
for long periods of time,
42
you can increase the time.
43
Most people recommend meditating between 10 to 20 minutes.
44
What to do during meditation?
45
Here's where it gets tricky.
46
Now there are many different forms of meditation.
47
Some focus on the things around you,
48
some involve reciting words in your mind.
49
The one you'll be learning today is one of the most commonly taught forms of meditation and it's called Mindfulness Breathing Meditation.
50
It's very easy to learn and it's considered to be just as powerful and insightful as any other form of meditation.
51
The focus of breathing meditation is,
52
well, you guessed it, on your breath.
53
First, you want to make sure that you're breathing through your nose.
54
Then all you have to do is focus all of your attention on your breath.
55
Observe the way the air feels as it flows through your nostrils.
56
Observe the way your breath transitions from inhale to exhale.
57
Observe that little pause between those two actions.
58
Observe every single aspect about the way it feels.
59
Do not judge it.
60
Do not criticize it.
61
Simply observe.
62
What you'll quickly notice is that thoughts will start appearing in your mind and will distract you from this simple, simple task.
63
Oh, what should I cook for dinner?
64
Hmm, maybe I should order takeout instead.
65
Wait, I'm trying to lose weight, so I shouldn't.
66
Or should I?
67
When you notice your mind wandering like this,
68
simply pull the focus back to the breath.
69
This is how you train your mindfulness muscle.
70
Now, most people who meditate for the first time will find
71
it extremely hard to focus on just the breath for even a couple of seconds.
72
They'll find themselves lost in thought quite often.
73
This is totally normal, so don't criticize yourself if it happens,
74
which it probably will.
75
All you have to do is simply bring your attention back to your breathing.
76
A good trick
77
that I personally use to quickly bring my focus back is
78
to focus all of my attention on the little bridge between inhale and exhale.
79
That little pause where your body transitions during its act of breathing.
80
While meditating, try as hard as possible to avoid moving.
81
Itches and urges to fidget will arise throughout your meditation session.
82
This is normal.
83
This is to be expected.
84
Simply bring your focus back to your breath and the feeling will eventually go away.
85
And that's all there is to it.
86
It's a very simple exercise.
87
What's important to note is how often you work on it
88
and how much time you put into it by making it a habit.
89
You'll notice that you'll be able to have your entire focus on your breath for longer and longer periods of time.
90
Think of this as your mindfulness muscle getting stronger and stronger.
91
How often should I meditate?
92
In order to really start seeing the benefits of meditation,
93
you should meditate on a daily basis.
94
My routine is 10 minutes a day every single day when I wake up.
95
Some people like to do it twice a day like Arnold Schwarzenegger who does it 20 minutes a day
96
when he wakes up and 20 minutes right before he goes to bed goes to bed,
97
as long as you make it into a daily habit that is the most important factor.
98
When will I start seeing the benefits?
99
Well first of all you have to be doing it on a daily basis.
100
The length of each session also plays a part on how fast you see the benefits,
101
but ultimately it's hard to say because it really does differ from person to person.
102
Certain people are less mindful in general due to the way they were brought up,
103
so it'll take them a little bit longer to start seeing the benefits.
104
In my personal experience it took me about a month of meditating every single day before I noticed any benefit myself.
105
I found myself in a better mood overall and was less likely to get consumed by certain negative emotions.
106
As I continued the practice,
107
I noticed more and more benefits along the line.
108
And that's it guys.
109
Meditation is very simple.
110
It's just the act of making it into a daily habit that is hard.
111

112

Schritt-für-Schritt Shadowing-Anleitung
Um die Inhalte aus diesem Video effektiv zu nutzen und Englische Aussprache verbessern zu können, folge diesen Schritten:
- Wähle einen ruhigen Ort: Finde einen ruhigen Platz, an dem du ungestört bist. Setze dich bequem hin und sei bereit, deinem Körper und Geist Aufmerksamkeit zu schenken.
- Starte mit Shadowing: Höre dir die im Video genannten Phrasen an und versuche, sie laut nachzusprechen. Dies hilft dir, deine Aussprache zu verfeinern und die Sätze in deinem Gedächtnis zu verankern. Nutze die Zeit mit dem Shadow Speech, um die Melodie und den Rhythmus der Sprache zu erfassen.
- Zeitmanagement: Setzte dir zu Beginn ein zeitliches Limit von 5 Minuten. Erhandle die Unbehaglichkeit der ersten Minuten, indem du einen Timer stellst, damit du nicht ständig auf die Uhr schauen musst.
- Öffne deinen Geist: Konzentriere dich während des Meditierens auf deinen Atem und die Stille. Dies wird dir nicht nur helfen, dich auf das Wesentliche zu konzentrieren, sondern auch deine Englisch Shadowing-Fähigkeiten zu schulen, indem du die Sätze ohne Ablenkung wiederholst.

Diese Techniken vereinen die Vorteile der Meditation mit der effektiven Praxis des Englisch Sprechens. Nutze die Ruhe, um deine Fähigkeiten in der englischen Sprache zu vertiefen und gleichzeitig ein Gefühl der Achtsamkeit zu entwickeln.
Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
