New to meditation? Here are some simple instructions to get you started:
- Find a nice and quiet place where
you can spend some time without being bothered. Turn off things like cellphones.
- Sit in a position that is both comfortable
and stable - one that you can sit in for long periods of time
without getting sore or having to change positions. A position that is comfortable
for many people is sitting with their legs crossed in front of them.
- Try to empty your mind of thoughts
of the past and future, and close your eyes. Its time to relax in the
present moment.
- Pick a meditation object that is simple
and relaxing. A meditation object that works for many people is the
sensation of breath coming in and out.
- If you are using the breath as your
object of meditation, many beginning meditators
find it useful to count the breath to stay focused. Just count once
for each inhalation or exhalation, up to ten, and then count back down to
one and repeat.
- Keep meditating for as long as you like.
Remember to start out small to not get frustrated, five or ten
minutes until you feel comfortable sitting longer. Some like to set a timer
to remind them to end their meditation, but if you're meditating with the
UBA you need only listen for the bell.
