Meditation has a beneficial effect on the human body: it relieves fear, aggression, depression, improves the emotional state, opens up creativity and promotes relaxation. However, getting into real meditation is not easy. Have patience and perseverance, and very soon you will feel the miraculous effect of meditation on personal experience.

Instructions
Step 1
For meditation, choose a quiet, cozy place where no one will disturb you. The ideal time for meditation is early in the morning, when the mind is not yet loaded with everyday worries. It is also best to do this spiritual practice on an empty stomach. To achieve peace of mind, it is enough to meditate just once a day, at the same time.
Step 2
Get into a comfortable position with your head, neck, and torso in a straight line. The position of the body is selected individually, since any discomfort can interfere with the immersion in a meditative state. The most popular option is the lotus or half lotus position. For beginners, simpler postures are recommended: sitting in a straight-backed chair, lying on a rug, sitting on the heels with knees bent, sitting cross-legged on the floor.
Step 3
Set an alarm or timer for the end of your meditation. To create the right mood and an easy way out of meditation, use a bell or thin cymbals (tingshas). Begin and end each session with the ringing of a bell or hitting cymbals in meditation.
Step 4
Close your eyes and try to relax as much as possible. The easiest way to immerse yourself in meditation is to concentrate on the breath. Breathe naturally, mentally saying the word "one" with each breath and the word "two" with each exhalation. Don't try to control the rhythm of your breathing.
Step 5
Meditation on various topics - love, wealth, health - has become widespread. So, imagine that you are in some picturesque place: on a flower meadow, on the seashore. Breathe in the aromas of flowers, feel the light breeze on your skin. And the moment you feel happiness and serenity, attract such desired images into your consciousness. This can be the man of your dreams, a beautiful home, luxury and wealth, the ideal figure you are striving for. Enjoy your invented world and its benefits. And in working on achieving the cherished goal, remember those amazing sensations more often, they will give you strength.
Step 6
When the alarm rings, slowly open your eyes. Take a few deep breaths. Stand up and stretch well. Just don't get up too abruptly, or you will feel dizzy. Indeed, in the process of meditation, the heartbeat slows down and blood pressure decreases. Don't forget to ring the bell. If you managed to comprehend the art of meditation, then your reward will be spiritual harmony and a charge of vigor for the whole day.
