  5. Meditation has become much of a social norm for people from all walks of life due to the immense benefits that it brings. Long gone are the days where you’re met with wary eyes when speaking about the positivity that meditation can bring to one’s life. But with the immense popularity of meditation slowly growing in strength, comes the question – How do beginners meditate or how long to meditate for beginners? Introduction

  6. Find a quiet spot to meditate in… It is imperative to find the perfect spot in your home where you will remain undisturbed by the world throughout the entire duration of your meditation. Don’t drain your mental capacity before you start meditating by putting yourself in a position in which you will be constantly disturbed. The goal is to bring your attention to one place, yourself. When you get distracted, bring your attention to your senses. Step one: Find a Quiet Spot

  7. Find a quiet spot to meditate in… Take on a comfortable pose. You don’t have to sit in a complicated lotus position or the usual “meditative pose” you’re always seeing images of. Comfort is more important than nailing a particular power pose for meditation. Whether that position means sitting cross-legged or with your legs dangling from a chair isn’t relevant. You may choose to close your eyes or keep them slightly open, depending on what’s most comfortable to you. Step Two: Adopt a comfortable position

  8. Be Aware of Your Surroundings… After finding your comfortable position, simply sit in stillness and silence as you become aware of your surroundings. This is not the same as thinking of something. Rather, you are observing the things around you and comprehending them as your senses register them. When thoughts that don’t relate to where you are in that very moment arise, ignore them. Don’t suppress them, don’t grow upset with yourself for having those thoughts. Just know that you didn’t actively think them and only by understanding that you didn’t actually think those thoughts can you become free of them. Step Three: Be Aware of Your Surroundings

  9. It may seem tough at first, but you have to realize that not a single practitioner got to reap the benefits of meditation without prior years of practice and perseverance. By practicing every single day, you’ll eventually come to a point where the benefits of meditation outweigh the time spent every day pursuing this activity. Make yourself a promise to stick to this regime and before you know it, your life will change for the better. Conclusion
