How Do You Meditate ? Back to top

Find a peaceful place inside or outside that where you wont be disturbed. You can sit on the floor or on a chair, A sitting posture rather than lying down because lying down could send you to sleep. If you are not a person who easily goes to sleep you can meditate in a reclining position on a sofa with the back of your head supported, the important thing is to keep the spine straight because energy flows up the spine, also avoid large dinners before meditation.

To meditate you need to focus on energy centers of the body, or concentrate on an image, chanting and breathing exercises are also used. You have to try different techniques to see what works for you, don't expect it to work first time meditation takes practice.

Mindfulness Back to top

This is another form of meditation, it is using meditation in your everyday life. It is based on the Buddhist theory that whatever you focus on you become, for example if you focus on unhappy thoughts you will become unhappy and if you focus on happy thoughts you become happy. So the essence of mindfulness is to have happy positive thoughts 24/7, replace every negative thought with a positive one, its not easy but with practice it will become automatic and you will not be dragged down with every negative situation you encounter.  

Concentrative meditation Back to top
Concentrative meditation focuses the attention on the breath, an image, or a sound or mantra, in order to still the mind and allow a greater awareness and clarity to emerge.
The simplest form of concentrative meditation is to sit quietly and focus the attention on the breath. Yoga and meditation practitioners believe that there is a direct correlation between the breath and state of the mind. When a person is anxious, frightened, angry ect the breath will often be shallow, rapid, and uneven. But when the mind is calm, focused, and composed, the breath will often be slow, deep, and regular.
