How to Meditate

===============

Meditation increases the ability to concentrate and enhance memory

power. It brings in a sense of inner peace and tranquility, and makes

you appealing in nature. Meditation is also thought to tap the hidden

potentials of an individual.

 

Difficulty Level: Hard Time Required: 10 - 30 minutes

 

 

Here's How:

Find some time out of your daily schedule.

Find a quiet place and sit down.

Be comfortable. Relax.

Keep the face serene. Chin up.

Close your eyes slowly to experience a void darkness. ( Remember to

keep your eyelids closed throughout the following steps)

Look into your eyelids as if seeing with your eyelids open.

Keep your mind empty of people, place, things, color or any form.

Try and concentrate on the center of your forehead.

If thoughts arise, bypass them and keep looking with your eyelids

closed, going deeper and deeper, leaving form, name, color, and

activities far behind you.

Experience the motion of going, as if driving in a car, and you'll be

going deeper and deeper - beyond the body and senses.

As you go deeper and deeper with your eyes closed in this dark place,

you may see the swirling of smoke-like colours flickering in the

darkness and silvery flashes of light.

Look straight in front with your eyelids closed and keep going

further and further.

To keep you alert in meditation, take slow deep breaths. Colors will

swirl and change pattern rising with each breath.

Keep breathing steady. Let thoughts come and go. You're on a journey

going beyond the body and form.

After you feel totally calm and relaxed, gradually open your eyes and

spring back to life with renewed energy.

 

Tips:

Do not sit for meditation with workload on your mind.

Wear simple, loose clothes, preferably white in color.

If concentrating on 'nothing' seems difficult, try concentrating on

your breathing. Another way to concentrate is by uttering the sacred

syllable " Om " loudly, which helps arrest your thoughts as it

resonates through your body.
