Starting with meditation can be a rewarding journey for mental well-being.
- Recognise that meditation is a practice that involves training the mind to achieve a state of focused relaxation. - There are various meditation techniques, so explore and find one that resonates with you.
- Find a quiet and comfortable place where you won't be easily disturbed. - Sit or lie down in a relaxed position. You can use a cushion or chair for support.
- Start with a realistic duration. Even a few minutes can be beneficial for beginners. - Gradually increase the duration as you become more comfortable with the practice.
- Close your eyes and take a few deep, slow breaths. - Focus your attention on the sensation of your breath—either the rise and fall of your chest or the airflow at your nostrils.
Remember, the essence of meditation is not about achieving a thought-free mind but cultivating awareness and presence. Find joy in the process, and let the benefits unfold naturally.
