Meditation is a practice that allows one to find tranquility and peace within by sitting comfortably, relaxing the body, and clearing the mind of thoughts. Begin by finding a comfortable position, such as sitting upright with legs crossed and hands positioned. Close your eyes gently and relax every muscle. Breathe deeply, releasing tension and letting go of worries. Visualize a calming object, such as a crystal ball, to help maintain focus. Remember, meditation relies on mental visualization rather than just physical sight, promoting deep inner peace.
How To Meditate
Sit upright with your right leg on your left leg. Place your right
hand on your left hand. Let your right index touch your left
thumb. You can sit with or without a cushion on the floor. Feel
free to adjust your sitting position until you feel comfortable.
Close your eyes very gently as if you are about to fall asleep.
Relax every muscle in your body--from your eyelids to your
cheeks, your chin, your shoulders, your arms, and your legs, down
to the tips of your fingers. Free your mind from all kinds of
thoughts. Drop all your personal baggage of duties, worries, and
problems. Assume they do not exist for now. Breathe in deeply
and gently exhale three times. Imagine that you are sitting
happily alone in the universe. Indulge in peaceful solitude. Tell
yourself you deserve happiness, and this is your relaxation time.
Also imagine that the inside of your body is hollow and
transparent--with no internal organs. To keep your mind from
wandering, imagine that a crystal ball is floating in the middle of
your stomach. For this purpose, you can use other neutral objects
that t you're familiar with such as a scoop of ice-cream, a football
or the moon. Make sure not to strain your eyes or force an image.
Just visualize as you comfortably can--and relax. In meditation,
you see with your mind, not with your physical eyes.
