meditation

Title: Rose-Hued OrchidType: Art Print
Meditation For BeginnersMake an appointment with yourself for 5 to 10 minutes each morning or evening and follow the instructions given below:1. Sit comfortably upright on the floor or in a chair.2. Keep your eyes open and without staring, gently rest them on a chosen point somewhere in front of you in the room.3. Don't try to stop thinking; just be the observer: not judging or being carried away by your own thoughts, just watching. 4. Now, create one thought about yourself; for example, "I am a peaceful being of light, situated in the centre of my forehead".5. Hold that thought on the screen of your mind; visualize yourself being peaceful, quiet and still. 6. Stay as long as you can in the awareness of that thought. Don't fight any other thoughts or memories that may come to distract you. Just watch them pass by and return to your created thought, "I am a peaceful being".
