4 Steps to a Perfect Meditation
Moving your attention to a single point of reference is called Meditation. In simple words it requires one to turn attention away from distractions and focus entirely on the present moment.
Meditation is not just about relaxing. Daily meditation and the ability to reach mental stillness has been proven to bring about deep changes within us. Meditation has also been known to activate your body’s natural healing powers.
Learning to meditate involves commitment and practice.
Here are 4 steps that will help you practice a perfect meditation:
- Chose a comfortable place to sit down, it can be on the floor or in a chair. Keep your spine straight and relaxed. Rest your hands in your lap or by your side.
- Close your eyes, and breathe deeply.
- Keep your concentration on your breathing.
- If you are interrupted by thoughts of the past or future, or surrounding sounds simply acknowledge them while staying focused on your breathing.
Begin with five minutes per day. With daily practice one can go up to twenty to thirty minutes.
