Take these 4 steps as an introduction to meditate for beginners.
1. Go to a quiet environment. Find a nice, quiet space where you won't be disturbed for a minimum of twenty minutes. Such as near a lake as an example. The natural environment will allow you to feel the nature, including the birds and the wind running through your hair, or even in your own home you can create such an environment.
The beach or a green spot in the woods is my preferred choice because it makes it easier to use your imagination and listen to the music simultaneously.
Go and sit down and rest your hands on your knees. It's not necessary to force yourself into a position that is not comfortable and that you cannot sit in without having pain. You can sit on the floor or on any chair with your feet relaxed on the ground..
Make sure you sit up straight and you are not hurting yourself.
2. Concentrate on your breathing. Close your eyes and start by breathing slowly inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. Let it be naturally. Don't force yourself let it happen.
3. As you are starting to relax, your body will feel tickly. You are getting reaction from your body and mind. Just let it happen. When you are breathing intensely, you'll begin to feel calmer and more relaxed. Keep focusing on your breathing. If you have trouble focusing count your breathing from one to ten and then start over again.
If you find your concentration back. It will happen |especially in the beginning|several times especially in the beginning|occasionally at the start}. Don't be discouraged, it will improve fast. As you develop more focus power, you will find it easier to concentrate.
