When beginning a meditation practice, you may not be aware that there are certain items that can be used to help strengthen your focus, increase your relaxation and ultimately improve the quality and depth of your meditation. Here are 3 meditation tools for beginners that will enhance your experience immensely.

Tool #1 – Prayer Beads

Utilization of prayer beads can help bring your mind into a single focus on specific mantras and/or prayers used during your meditations. Making your own strand of prayer beads is simple. Use beads that have a special significance to you or that you feel drawn to. String them along a colored thread that resonates with you, and tie the two ends together, creating a circular strand of beads. For each bead, designate a certain prayer or mantra. As you begin your meditation, focus your mind on the specific saying designated to each bead. This exercise gives you a physical focal point for your mind, which can be helpful for those new to meditation practices.

Tool #2 – Gemstones

Every element of this earth, we included, carries within and around them an electrical charge and a harmonic frequency. Using gemstones that originate within the earth can help shift our frequencies from the intellectual state to the meditative state. Gemstones open the energetic channels within the body, allowing us to be fully open to the receptive nature of meditation. While there are many different stones that can be used, some great ones for beginners are an amethyst held in the left hand, a clear quartz crystal held in the right and an opal placed upon the third eye. This combination of stones balances and grounds the electrical polarities of the body while opening our spiritual vision abilities.

Tool #3 – Music

Using music can be a powerful meditation tool for beginners. Music instantly creates a calm and relaxed response within the body, as well as helps the intellectual mind gently step aside so one can enter the meditative state. Finding the right music is essential. Music that is positive, un-intrusive and designed to bring the mind and body into balance is your best choice. There is now music specifically designed to harmonize the two hemispheres of the brain. This has an incredible effect on individuals when used during meditation, allowing one to go deeper into the experience. Music infused with sounds of nature, chants, crystal and/or Tibetan bowls are also popular choices for meditation.
