Meditation is a very effective method of achieving inner calm, stress reduction and sharpening of the mind. Here’s a guide to help you get started:
Find a Quiet Space
Select a quiet and comfortable place where you can sit or lie down and you will not be disturbed.
Focus on Your Breath
Now, focus your awareness on your breathing, the in and out process of the breathing. This aids in grounding your mind onto the present.
Observe Your Thoughts
Permit ideas to come without prejudice, yet, if your mind wanders, kindly guide it back to the breath.
Practice Regularly
Consistency is key. It is recommended to practice for 10-20 minutes a day, to create a habit and feel the positive effects of meditation.
Be Patient and Kind
Meditation takes practice. This means that when practicing, be patient with yourself, be kind to yourself and be ready to learn.
Meditation is a technique that if practiced daily can lead you to the door of a better self, a more focused and happier person.
