there are some things you should never do after you've meditated and this is really
important because when you meditate you change your brainwave state your frequencies to a
different state so you become more relaxed and in one of the more suggestive suggestible and
open brainwave states after you've meditated your brain is like a sponge and you're going to absorb
every thought and idea that comes into your brain and into your consciousness here are the top five
things you should never do after you've just meditated number one don't consume media content
don't look at the news don't go on social media don't look at scary films or headlines because
like I've said your brain after meditation is like a sponge you're going to absorb all
of that stuff and take it into your subconscious mind you might absorb a belief a negative idea a
scary idea it may be even you become fearful or annoyed or okay critical paranoid you don't want
to consume any media after meditation to be honest you shouldn't be consuming media at all and when I
say media I mean like the news and stuff like that number two you don't want to do something really
physical straightaway if you've just meditated you're relaxed and your nervous system is at
a low slow level you're relaxed and that's the purpose of meditation to be relaxed right and to
be more self aware so if you then go and jump into a you know a powerlifting workout or if you then
go for a run or jump up and do something crazy you're shocking your nervous system and not in
a good way you're you're actually reducing all you know reversing the positive effects of meditation
with that Act exercise and this is just going to reverse the effects and kind of make it a waste
of time to have done the meditation in the first place if you're going to exercise which you should
you should wait at least an hour after meditation unless the exercise is something kind of soft like
yoga walking Pilates that kind of exercise those kind of exercises are fine but not things like
running power lifting cardio a hit to hit training number three after meditation do not try and do
something stressful you should avoid stress for as long as possible unless you absolutely have
to do that stressful thing like let's say if you know that checking your I was gonna stress you
out don't do it straight after meditation because you've just got your body into a relaxed you know
peaceful state if you have to check the emails and/or then this applies to anything that might
stress you out do the thing and then meditate after you've become stressed to sort of calm
yourself down because otherwise let's think about what would happen you meditate you're relaxed and
peaceful then you do the stressful thing and then that stress stays with you until you next meditate
which might be tomorrow so you have the entire day with this stress in the background of your mind
and it renders the meditation kind of pointless so really what you should do is if you know something
is going to stress you out and this goes for anything it could be like if you know that you
need to confront someone you have an argument or a debate check your emails do something or deal with
somebody stressful deal with bills call the bank whatever it is it's gonna stress you out do that
thing and then meditate after doing that thing don't just meditate and then do the stressful
thing number four and this is kind of before meditation but you should before meditation you
should not eat anything really you should be you should drink water okay but if you eat just before
meditation your body is gonna be digesting that food of course right and when you digest food your
body is in a tired state now with meditation the one thing you don't want to do is you don't want
to fall asleep because that's gonna render it pointless you're not trying to fall asleep here
you're trying to build the habit of being self aware while you're awake now it's very common
that if you eat a huge meal and then meditate your fall asleep and this is really quite this is
really common especially in like these meditation retreats and things like that or you know if
people are trying to meditate for a long period of time they will eat before thinking that you
know they might get hungry during meditation so if they eat before it sort of solves the problem
well no it doesn't because you end up footing and potentially falling asleep your meditation
isn't as good because your body is spending half its energy digesting the food so don't eat just
before meditation and number five or number four I can't remember is to make sure that you don't fall
asleep when you meditate so you've just meditated if you then fall asleep then that's kind of you
would then need to start again when you wake up because the goal of meditation is to become
self-aware and to disconnect yourself from that mind chatter all right so let's say if you've just
meditated you in this nice peaceful state of being serene and awake and aware and if you then fall
asleep or if you fall asleep during the meditation as well then when you wake up your brain is going
to start from scratch again your brain it may be you've just had a dream a nightmare even and then
your brain has to start again and it's like it kind of wastes the time so that's several things
that you should never do during meditation all the things you should not do after meditation thanks
