Meditation can be a somewhat difficult thing to understand and perform for some. Here are some tips for beginners who are ready to experience the magic of meditation:
1. Make sure you're comfy.
Find a space that is comfortable for you. Usually a quiet space is found to be most comfortable for meditation (so no tv, no music unless its a relaxing sound like waves of the ocean). Sit or lie in a position that feels best to you, light an incense or a candle for the aroma therapy. Do whatever it takes to create a relaxing environment for yourself.
2. Keep eyes half open half closed.
I say to refrain from completely closing your eyes during meditation mainly because many beginners tend to fall asleep after about 5 to 10 minutes of meditation. To practice half open half closed keeps you alert in the sense that you are still aware of your physical surrounding as you relax and clear your mind.
3. Focus on your breathing.
The key to meditation is focusing on your breathing. Listen to the sound of each inhale and exhale, eventually blocking out your attention to any noise that may be around you. As you focus more and more, you will begin to slip into your meditation and a calm mind state.
4. Don't try to "Clear" your mind.
Allow your mind to relax but don't try to "clear" your mind as is usually suggested. You have tons of thoughts and as a beginner, you will find it very difficult to do so. Simply, listen to your breathing, relax, and allow your mind to reach its calm. If you are consciously trying to clear your mind, you are in fact doing the opposite of the purpose of meditation.
Now, you have some simple steps to get started meditating. Its a wonderful activity that brings self development, better moods, and better mental grounding. Feel free to reach out and ask some questions to us here at Glo Up Fitness.
