Into Motivation

If this is your first time meditating take this into consideration:

To start with the length of time that you meditate is not of great importance. What is important is being consistent in your meditation practice.
So instead of trying to meditate for an hour or more, and doing this for a week and then taking a few weeks off, what you are really after, is practicing meditation for 5 – 10 minutes a time but practice on a daily basis.

Simple is best. There are so many meditation techniques, find one that works for you. When you start off, simple is always the best.
If you don’t have to remember a lot the better you can ease into your meditation practice.

When you are practicing meditation and setting up a schedule, try to be consistent with the time of day that you do your meditation practice. So for instance, if early morning is good for you try to meditate at the same time every day
If you don’t have a job with fixed hours or you run around different times and days then meditate in the morning or meditate in the evening whenever you can fit it in. But it always makes it a little easier to turn a practice into a routine if you can maintain consistency in all the areas of the meditation.

When you start your practice try not to do so on a full stomach

if you are going to eat before practice have a small meal it is probably best about half an hour before practice.
If you took a big dinner wait a minimum of two hours. If you don’t wait at least two hours after a main meal the blood will be in the digestive system and what’s going to happen is you will get tired and sleepy.
When you are meditating it’s important to be very at ease but very alert and you’re not gonna be able to do that when you are wandering away to sleep.

When you are sitting it is important that the spine be erect but the body be comfortable.
In most cases meditation practice is done on the floor but if you have physical disabilities or severe problems of stiffness in your hips or lower back you may be more comfortable sitting on a chair and that is completely ok, but if you are sitting on a chair go and sit on one of those comfortable nice chairs. The reason is your back will bow into it. You will want to sit on a chair that is straight at a straight back so the spine remains up right.
