Mind Visualization

If you have never meditated before take this into consideration:

First of all how long you meditate is not of great importance. What is important is that you regularly practice your meditation.
So instead of meditating for a long period, and doing this for a few days and then taking a month off, what you are really after, is practicing meditation for 5 to 10 minutes a time but meditate everyday.

Simple is best. There are so many different ways to meditate, pick one that you like. When you start off, simple is always to be preferred.
The less you need to remember the better you can ease into your meditation practice.

When you are practicing meditation and setting up a schedule, try to be consistent at what time you do your meditation practice. So for instance, if morning time is good for you try to meditate at the same time every day
If you don’t have a job with fixed hours or you run around different times and days then meditate in the morning or practice in the evening whenever you can fit it in. But it always makes it a little easier to turn a practice into a routine if you can maintain consistency in all the areas of the meditation.

When you are meditating try not to do so on a full stomach, if you are going to have a meal before practice have a small meal it is probably best about half an hour before practice.
If you’ve had a main meal wait at least two hours. If you don’t wait at least two hours after a main meal the blood will be in the digestive system and you will feel tired and fall asleep.
When you are meditating you should be very relaxed but very conscious and you won’t be able to do that when you are falling in to sleep.

When you are sitting it is important that the spinal column be straight but the body be relaxed.
Now usually meditation practice is done on the floor but if you have physical disabilities or extreme amounts of inflexibility in your hips or lower back you may be more comfortable sitting on a chair and that is perfectly all right, but if you are sitting on a chair try not to be sitting on one of those really big comfortable chairs. Because you back will bend into it. You will want to sit on a chair that is straight with an upright back so the spine remains up right.
