We are going to tell you 5 simple tips to know before starting a Meditation Practice. Let’s move forward with this.
Finding a Place :
While practicing meditation, the first and very important step is choosing the place of meditation. It is very important to have a clean place and a relaxed atmosphere to meditate. You need to find a peaceful place.
It should neither be too high nor rough and there should be a place where you can sit comfortably and meditate, it can be a tea house, even if it can be your balcony or it can be the roof of your house. Therefore, the good time to meditate is also said to be either early morning or night because the atmosphere is calm at both times.
Choosing Comfortable Clothes:
While meditating, we should wear loose-fitting clothes, wearing very tight clothes cannot be meditated for long, we do not feel comfortable and our attention wanders, so clothes should always be loose-fitting. Moreover, it makes the stretching easier and one can practice with ease while performing
the asanas with proficiency.
Sitting in the Best Position:
The idea arises in the minds of many people that meditation should always be done in a particular posture, but it is not so, no special posture is needed to meditate. We should be able to sit for a while without any trouble in any posture with a cross, if we want, we can also use a chair.
We should keep the fingers of both our hands together, there should not be any kind of stiffness in the body, and the body should be kept light and loose. To meditate, special care has to be taken of some things like our head, neck, and waist should be straight. You can choose any corner of your house to meditate, keep in mind that always meditate in a closed space, and initially avoid meditating in an open place.
Empty Your Thoughts:
The most important step is to empty your mind from unnecessary thoughts and emotions. If there is something going into your mind, bring it to a state to quit and pay your attention to only one point.
It happens many times in Meditation that a person is present physically while meditating but is
somewhere else mentally. While meditating you should forget all your troubles and focus on God. You cannot meditate while under stress.
Control on Breath:
First of all, know about the breath. Inhalation and exhalation are closely related to meditation. Meditation happens in the right way only when deep and long breaths are taken and exhaled comfortably. If the breathing is fast, then it means that you are not doing meditation properly. The speed of breath
should be slow during meditation.
