How to meditate…?
Here, I am going to discuss simplest steps to meditate.
- Choose a calm place.
- Sit or lie down comfortably.
- Breath naturally.
- And then focus on your breathing pattern and see(notice) how your body moves with each breath.
- Once you are done,open your eyes slowly and gently.
- On day 1,start this for 3-5 minutes And gradually increase the time.
- If you are doing this for small span of time,you can practice twice a day too.
- You can add calm music or om chants to your meditation sessions.
This is the simplest way. The mind will divert with many thoughts while focusing on your breath .Be gentle with your mind and restart meditating.
Who should meditate…?
When we look around we see stress, tensions,uneasiness,hatred, confusions,various diseases and so on.
Be it a 5 year kid struggling with his heavy bags or a 17 year teenager stressed due to exams. An old lady sick of her loneliness or a 40 year man tensed due to his business or a patient or even an accident victim.
Anyone and everyone should make meditation a habit for a healthy mind just like we provide healthy food to our body or good cloths yo cover the body.
Meditation is a simple method,we should bring it into our daily routine. You may follow the simple proper technique or join any meditation classes to learn.
How does Meditation work…?
Meditation is an art of quieting your mind,a state of thoughtlessness.
When you quiet your conscious mind, you can become aware of the rest of your mind, which thinks differently than the conscious mind thinks. While the conscious mind thinks in symbols, the rest of the mind thinks in terms of experience. When you quiet your conscious mind, you can become aware of what you are experiencing. This tends to calm and help them see our lives differently. It brings us to a focus on the present, instead of ruminating about the past or thinking too much about the future.
