How to meditate?

  • Chose the type of meditation that works best for you and fits your personality.
  • Chose a time of day when you are unlikely to be disturbed.
  • Chose a place where you feel comfortable and can relax.
  • Where comfortable clothes.
  • Sit, lay, recline. Take the position that is most comfortable. The best positions are sitting or reclining to avoid falling asleep.
  • Try to keep your back straight.
  •  It is best not to have any heavy meals at least an hour before meditation.


It is recommended to always choose the same time of the day, so that it is easier to create a habit of meditating. Some people prefer mornings, others prefer to distressing effects at the end of the day. There are a lot of people who meditate twice a day – start the day with a clear and efficient mind in the morning, then wash away the accumulated stress in the evening, preparing for a restful sleep.
There is no rule for best time. Whatever works best for you and fits your schedule and lifestyle.


It is also best to always meditate at the same place. The place could be anywhere, as long as you can spend the time during the meditation undisturbed. With time it will get easy to mediate anywhere – while waiting, before exams or tests, when on vacation, etc.


Try not to meditate lying down to avoid falling asleep. Meditation brings relaxation and peace but at the same time this is a dynamic peace. Meditation is quite different than the relaxation of sleep. When we really meditate, we are fully alert and conscious. Our sense of awareness is heightened. Afterwards you’ll have a positive feeling for the world and a renewed sense of dynamism.
 

One Pointed Concentration



However you learn to meditate, you must learn to concentrate on one thing at a time. Usually, the mind tries to hold several different thoughts and ideas at once. When you sit down to meditate for the first time, you realize how cluttered the mind is. Mediation teachers have described the mind as a “mad monkey”. However, the mind can be tamed and forced to concentrate on a single thought.


One helpful technique is concentrating on a candle flame. Narrow your gaze to the small tip and block out all other thoughts. When you get distracted, go back to focusing on the candle flame. You can also use other objects like a small dot or flower. The important thing is that you concentrate only on one thing at a time.
