How To Meditate
Find a quiet place, free of distractions. This can be indoors. Indoors, you may want to adjust lighting, room temperature, create ambiance with candles, crystals, incense, or anything else that sets the mood.
Outdoors meditations might include a beach or meadow, anywhere in nature that is quiet and serene.
You may play music or meditate quietly.
You can meditate alone or with a group.
Meditations can be long or short usually there are no time restrictions.
Meditations can be guided by another person or by an audio tape, or you can just relax and close your eyes.
Before you begin, you may want to keep a paper and writing implement near you, so you can quickly record what you see or hear after the meditation. You can also use a tape recorder to that end. Please remember to make a notation of the date of the meditation.
Be sure that your phones are off, mobile/cell or land line.
Now you are ready to begin.
Loosen clothing, remove eyeglasses, footwear, any restrictive garment.
