Performing Meditation—The Right Way
Meditation is a very necessary practice
for those who want freedom in their health. Health is not limited to physical
wellness, but it also covers social, mental, emotional and psychological
wellness. Meditation is an art, and there is a specific way in which it should
be done so that tin will work for you in the best way. Apart from mastering the
art, you also need to be consistent in meditation time and duration. The body
has a way through which it tunes itself to the specific time you meditate every
day and the duration in which you meditate every day.
Meditation requires concentration, and
you cannot do meditation when there is anything that can distract you.
Therefore, you should do it after switching off your computer, phone, TV and
any other gadget that can be of distraction to you. Yo8u may have children, and
this may make it impossible to do your meditation peacefully. Therefore, do it
after you have ensured that they have slept.
Also, you can do it when they have gone
to school. There are specific times in the day when the milkman comes, when the
waste management guys come, when the newspaper is brought, et cetera. Because
you can estimate the times when all these services are brought, you can ensure
that your meditation period does not coincide with these times.
The posture you take during meditation is
very important. Most people do it on their beds and couches, and this usually
results to them falling asleep. Therefore, meditation should be done when one is
seated upright such that the back bone is at right angle with the surface on
which one is sitting. This surface may be the floor or a chair, as long as it
is firm and not too soft. In order to make the back comfortable, you can use
pillows to support. Avoid bending your neck when on meditation; hold it up
high, to ensure that there is no strain and that there is full supply of blood
and oxygen to the brain and tissues in the head.
The first step in actual meditation is to
obviously close your eyes and deliberately ensure that your facial muscles are
calm and peaceful. Regulate your breathing pattern, too. You should first start
with a deep breath, and then you should maintain complete breathing, in that
you should breathe in fully and breathe out fully.
