To start meditating, choose a time and a place where you won’t be disturbed for the duration of your meditation session.
When you are starting out, you may decide to set aside 5 minutes for your meditation session. This is plenty of time when you are beginning to meditate and in our hectic daily lives it may well be that this is the maximum amount of time that you feel you can devote to meditating. That’s fine. Whatever works for you is good – it’s much better to spend a few minutes a day meditating than to put it off completely. Over time, you will want to increase the amount of time you spend in a meditative state, but that’s completely your choice.
If you can spare the time, your aim should be to have two 20 minute meditation sessions each day. Research has shown that spending this amount of time meditating leads to better health and can help reduce the stresses and strains of daily life. Your checklist for starting meditation:
- · Choose a meditation method from the chapters that follow.
- · Choose a time of day when you are unlikely to be disturbed.
- · Choose a place where you feel comfortable and can relax.
That’s all!
