To put it simply, YES.
But I must clarify: it’s not a “secret seduction technique” or whatever, so please do not adopt it as such.
If you approach meditation as a means to a certain end (attracting girls), you will be disappointed.
It is not a magic bullet of seduction.
But it just so happens that the practice of meditation helps get you outside of your analytical mind..
..And that is a very useful skill to have if you, say, are standing in the middle of a busy bar on a Saturday night, hopelessly stuck in your head.
Power of focus developed through meditation can help you get “unstuck”. Plus it can also ensure that you don’t get so “stuck” in the first place.
Since many of you may not be too familiar with meditation, I thought I’d give a quick run-down of a few different varieties of meditation.
That way you can try them all..
..and find one that works for you.
Since meditation works best when continually practiced, finding one that you actually look forward to doing can be half the battle won.
Unless otherwise stated, the following are to be performed sitting either on the floor, or in a chair. Lying down isn’t so conducive to the process.
If you find that your back andor pelvis gets sore sitting on the floor, try elevating yourself by sitting on a cushion (this can take the pressure off).
Century Count.
This one is pretty simple, but can be challenging to complete. All you are doing for this exercise is becoming conscious of your breathing, and counting each breath until you reach 100.
If you forget which number you’re up to, you have to start again, aaalllll the way from the beginning.
Don’t worry, if you don’t get there the first few times, we’re not trained to focus on a task so intently for that period of time.
I personally enjoy doing this exercise as part of my morning routine as I travel to work, which can be very challenging with all the noise.
Basically this exercise really helps me focus with laser like precision throughout the day.
Mindfulness.
This form of meditation is somewhat of an observational form of meditation where you become “mindful” of everything occurring in the present moment:
Your breathing, your bodily sensations, your thoughts, the sounds surrounding you, the texture of the moment.
The aim is to not get caught up in the goings on, but to separate yourself and simply observe everything, even your thoughts.
Visualisation.
This form of meditation is a little difficult to do on your own, but there are some great audios around that can guide you through the process.
In Tantric practices, the practitioner would meditate upon the vision of themselves as a deity, or the most enlightened being they knew, and simply contemplate with that image in their minds eye.
Breathwork.
This seems to be one of the most common forms of meditation, and it simply involves becoming conscious of your breathing, and focusing on each breath as it enters and exits your body.
The aim is to maintain all focus on the breath and not get caught up in the noise of your thoughts.
Quite often you may find yourself drifting off in to thought, which is fine, you just simply bring yourself gently back to your breath when you notice that you’re caught up in your thoughts again.
Meditation With Feeling.
This practice really spun me out, and it’s something I’ll try from time to time. This meditation was recommended by David Deida in his “Way of the Superior Man” teaching sessions cd’s.
The meditation involves “meditating” or sending your awareness outside of your body. To try this, begin with the breathwork meditation, then send your awareness 10 feet in front of you, then 10 feet behind you, 10 feet below, and 10 feet above.
It’s a real head-spin, but quite unique.
There are many other forms of meditation, but I really only try to speak about things that I myself have experienced. If you’d like to learn more: Wikipedia and Google are your friends.
Enjoy the contemplation time.
