Practice meditation for self discovery when in search of an answer related to your life. This meditation is useful for figuring out your next path in life, when you're at a crossroads, or to tap into your inner self. Don't become discouraged if you don't receive an answer. Be patient and keep up your meditation practice. You may get your answer when you least expect it. During a meditative state, brain waves slow to Theta state. Here you experience less interference from the conscious mind and be more successful at contacting the subconscious mind. You can change limiting beliefs easier in this state as well.

Begin by sitting in a comfortable position and in a room free of disturbances. Light a few candles or incense if you prefer. Nag Champa creates a comforting atmosphere.

Focus on the breath. Make sure you're breathing deeply from the diaphragm. Pay attention to the breath as it enters and leaves your nose.

Continue focusing on the breath if you're intention is relaxation. If you're looking for a specific answer, pose your question at the start of the meditation. If you're looking for your next career move ask the question, "What is my next career path that will bring me the most happiness and fulfillment?"

Your mind will become busy with thoughts. Watch them come and allow them to leave. If a thought comes to mind that resonates with you, dig a little deeper. You'll know when you receive your answer because it will feel right. You'll get a strong sense of knowing that it's the right path. If you find yourself becoming bored and focusing on chores, bring yourself back to your breath. Be patient.

As time goes on, your brain waves will become slower. You'll know because you'll feel more tired, but sustain from falling asleep. Don't force the answer. It's when you're open and accepting that it will come. If it doesn't enter your mind this time, continue tomorrow and the next day until you're satisfied.

Become more open in your daily life. Answers may come to you while you're driving! The main tip is to remember not to force anything. That is counter-productive. Look for gut feelings and synchronicities in your life.
