Simple Basics to Meditate

Colibri's eye


Meditation requires practice. To get the most from meditation you need to do it every day. This requires a place and time where you will not be disturbed.


1.Sit with a straight back. Don't try to meditate lying down because you are likely to fall 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.

2.Don't eat before meditating. After a heavy meal your body will be lethargic with digestion.

3.It is not necessary to mediate in the lotus posture. It is fine to meditate in a chair, as long as the back is straight.

4.Burning incense and having a candle are not necessary, but they can add a little extra inspiration.

5.It is good to meditate early in the morning. It is said the best time is 3am, although.
