Tips for Beginning Meditation:

These meditation tips for beginners will help you in your quest for obtaining inner peace:

1. Choose a time to meditate.

Find a good time for you to meditate. You can start with shorter sessions in the beginning, but generally you should shoot for between 20-30 minutes. Right when you get up or before you go to bed are good times to practice.

• Make meditation a priority for yourself just like you would for everything else that’s important in your life.

2. Keep an elevated posture.

If you slouch, you won’t be in a good position for meditation and you’re more likely to feel like falling asleep. Elevate your posture and you’ll feel more open to the world. Relax in a crossed-legged or other comfortable sitting position and rest your hands in your lap.

3. Focus on your breath.

Your main goal is to keep your attention on your breath as you breathe in and breathe out. It may help to say a mantra and visualize breathing in good energy and letting out the bad energy with each cycle.

• Breathe at a pace that’s comfortable for you. Work toward deep, long breaths.

4. Acknowledge your thoughts.

You want to remain fully present while you’re meditating, and there’s no doubt that thoughts are going to enter your mind while you’re trying to concentrate.

• Don’t be frustrated by these thoughts, but at the same time don’t let thoughts take your attention completely away. Acknowledge your thoughts and then bring your focus back to your breath.

5. Fight the urge to sleep.

Many people complain of the urge to sleep during meditation sessions, mainly because it’s relaxing and you’re meditating during early morning or late evening hours. Try to remain awake while maintaining focus and good posture.

6. Maintain your practice.

After you discover the many health benefits of meditating, it will most likely become a part of you forever. It is now important to keep up with regular meditation sessions.

Meditation will help you keep a peaceful perspective on life, and it can also tell you a lot of things about your true self. You can use it to relax, motivate, or energize, depending on your purpose for each session. As you get more experienced with meditation, a more joyful and peaceful life will be begin to be yours!
