suspends the normal stream of
thoughts occupying the mind.

specific thing, such as the breath or a
phrase.

5. Basic requirement for
Meditation
 Practical Idealism. You must believe
in what you practice.
 A suitable place. If you are a

sitting or lying down to relax your

never an ego trip or any sort of
competition.

6. How to meditate?
 The first stage of meditation is to stop
distractions and make our mind clearer
and more lucid. This can be accomplished
by practicing a simple breathing
meditation.
 We choose a quiet place to meditate and
sit in a comfortable position. We can sit in
the traditional cross-legged posture or in
any other position that is comfortable.
 The most important thing is to keep our
back straight to prevent our mind from
becoming sluggish or sleepy.

7.  We sit with our eyes
partially closed and turn our
attention to our breathing.
 We breathe naturally,
preferably through the
nostrils, without attempting
to control our breath, and we
try to become aware of the
sensation of the breath as it
enters and leaves the
nostrils. This sensation is
our object of meditation.
 We should try to concentrate
on it to the exclusion of
everything else.
