A brief Synopsis of how to meditate
Locate a quite lovely space where you will not be disturbed, for the time you have set aside to mediate. Simply enjoy the moments of silence or use some meditative CD’s.
Ensure you have comfortable loose clothing on; remember this is all about you relaxing.
Adopt the mediation posture on a mat or a conformable floor.
If you are unable to relax simply focus on how your body feels.
Remember practice make perfect! Start mediating a few minutes a day, first thing in the morning and last thing at night and gradually build this up. Good Luck
