Meditate For Beginners – 4 Easy Steps to Start
How to meditate for beginners may seem complicated but it’s not that hard at all. If you want to make meditation a part of your life you will need to go to a seminar (this is often rather expensive) or buy lessons online this is often much cheaper and it gives you the possibility to learn the basics and lets you find out if meditation is really something for you before you spend a lot of money.
Take these four steps to start to meditate for beginners.
1. Choose a quiet place. Find a nice, quiet space where you won’t be disturbed for a minimum of 15 minutes. Such as in a forest as an example. The natural environment will allow you to feel calm, including the birds and the wind running through your hair, or even in your own home you can create such an environment.
The beach or an open space in the woods is my preferred choice because it makes it easier to use your imagination and listen to the music simultaneously.
Just sit down and lay your hands on your knees. It’s not necessary to struggle in a position that is not comfortable and that you cannot continue to sit in without pain. You can sit on the floor or on any chair with your feet relaxed on the ground..
Make sure your back is straight and you don’t feel any pain.
2. Breath slowly and deeply. Close your eyes and start by breathing slowly inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. Nice and easy. Take your time to breathe slowly and deeply.
3. As you are calming down, your body will start tickling. You are getting reaction from your body and mind. Just let it happen. When you are breathing intensely, you’ll begin to feel calmer and more relaxed. Keep focusing your attention on your breathing. If you need to count your breathing from one to ten and then repeat this step.
If you find your attention floating away from your breathing, just bring your back. It will happen |especially in the beginning|several times especially in the beginning|occasionally at the start}. Keep trying, it will improve fast. As you develop more focus power, you will find it easier to concentrate.
4. After twenty minutes or so open your eyes and sleep sitting down for a few minutes. get up and stretch your body a little and try to keep the feeling for as long as you can to keep enjoying the relaxed feeling as long as possible.
Do this exercise every day if possible to help you relieve stress from a busy day. This exercise will put you on the way to becoming a different more relaxed person. Get your life back.
