PRACTICAL TIPS TO INCULCATE MEDITATION INTO YOUR LIFE:
- My personal choice is to do meditation in the morning. And this depends on your lifestyle. Morning and the night before sleeping is an ideal time for meditation.
- Find your favorite place which should be quiet and isolated. And most probably these places should be free from other humans. You Alone should be there.
- Keep an analog alarm or in rare cases keep your phone near you to set the timer. Basically, when we are a beginner, we consistently ponder about how much timing is left out?
- Always start small. So set the timer for about 5 or 10 minutes. Then you could increase your time up to 20 minutes. I think it is the correct time for every one of us.
- Try to maintain your spine straight.
- Close your eyes and hear the sound of silence within you.
- Keep a half-smile on your face.
- Slowly inhale and exhale with your nostrils.
- At first, you can't able to stop thinking. Don't worry, it is common for all of us.
- If you have missed out on your Meditation sections, don't feel guilty, Consistency is the key!
- Put all your attention on your breath.
- Observe how the air is moving through your nostrils.
- Observe the transition between inhalation and exhalation.
- Thoughts might pop up, Do not judge or criticize yourself, just observe it.
- Get your concentration back to your breath.
- Take a few deep breaths and watch your normal breadth.
- Then open your eyes, the whole world seems to be calm and your mind has experienced "Inner Peace"
