Learn Meditation Technique

You can meditate anywhere, sitting on the chair, lying down, or even sitting on the floor.

Prefer sitting on the floor for meditation, as doing meditation on the bed may make you fall asleep. So, meditating on the floor with your back straight is considered to be most official way to meditate than other postures.

• Sit on the floor by criss-crossing your legs with arms resting on the thighs and hands relaxed on top of each other
• Keep your back straight, do not tilt your head upward or so downward.
• Keep your eyes closed so that you can focus more.
• There are various methods of meditations, but a mindfulness meditation is more effective in yielding good results.
• Keep your eyes closed, relax, try to clear your mind of any thoughts.
• Start inhaling through your nose.
• Focus all your attention at the breath.
• keep observing how the air is moving through your nostrils and how breath transitions are occurring.
• Also observe at the pauses between inhalations and exhalations.
• But do not judge, do not criticize, just simply focus on breathing.
• When you notice that thoughts disrupt you, distract you, then simply pull your focus back to the breathing
• Your mind may wander again, simply bring it back to your breathing.
• You will continue to experience relaxation during meditation sessions.

In order to really see the benefits, you should meditate on a daily basis. Start your day with meditation for at least 10 minutes and gradually increase it as you become expert in it.

This is the best way to reduce anxiety, stress, and depression.
