Choose a quiet and comfortable place where you won’t be easily distracted and practice meditation for 10 minutes everyday initially. If possible, it is advisable to meditate in the morning, before you start your day and, in the evening, before you go to bed.
- Focus on Your Breath
Once you select your place, sit in a comfortable posture. You can choose a cushion to keep behind you or sit on a comfortable chair. Now, close your eyes and start by taking deep and slow breaths. Concentrate on the sensation and number of your breaths as you inhale and exhale. Do not make an effort to control your breath, let it flow naturally.
- Notice your body
As you breathe, focus on the movement of your body. See how your shoulders, stomach, rib cage and chest move. Remember that you do not have to control your breath’s intensity and just focus on your breath.
- Practice Mindfulness
When you sit to meditate, pay attention to your thoughts. Your mind may wander and thoughts will linger on your mind but try not to get attached to them.
- Maintain a regular practice
In the beginning, you can start meditation for a few minutes and then increase the periods, as per your personal capacity and time. Regular meditation can lead to liberation of the mind from attachment to things and avoid external circumstances beyond one’s control.
Practice these steps on a regular basis and you will gradually master the art of meditation. You can surely experience a more relaxed day, control over your emotions and increased concentration with regular mediation, apart from various health benefits.
