What Is Meditation?
● Meditation is the art of focusing 100% of one’s
attention on one particular aspect (such as the
breath) for a period of time.
● Meditation techniques come with a myriad of
well-publicised health benefits which includes
decreased anxiety, increased concentration and
general feeling of happiness.
Starting Meditation Practice
● Many people start meditating but then give up
rather soon. This may be due to the meditation
practices they've learned being too
complicated. This guide will focus on simple
meditation techniques for beginners...
Beginner's Meditation Tip 1
● Set aside a specific time of the day and make it
a point to regularly practice. Making it a daily
ritual will help you achieve effective meditation
more quickly.
Beginner's Meditation Tip 2
● If possible use a specific room in the house; not
the bedroom or study room. Create a spiritual
atmosphere with the use of colour, pictures and
music.
Beginner's Meditation Tip 3
● When you are doing your meditation practice
minimise all distractions: Turn the phone off, tell
the kids not to distract you etc.
Beginner's Meditation Tip 4
● Make sure you are not angry or stressed before
entering the meditation room. Go for a walk and
practice deep breathing to calm yourself down.
Beginner's Meditation Tip 5
● The best time for meditating is early in the
morning as the environment is quiet, your mind
is fresh and there is less chance of being
disturbed.
Beginner's Meditation Tip 6
● Meditation techniques for beginners may
include some physical activities like stretching,
breathing and mindful walking followed by
meditation.
Beginner's Meditation Tip 7
● In order to increase concentration, meditate
with closed eyes.
