Meditation plain and simple!
STEP 1: Find a quiet space. A room, the floor, a chair, even the bathroom. You may need to take further steps to make the space more quiet. Earplugs can be helpful to this end. Quiet is best, if you truly have difficulty with silence, easing into it with music on the soft side, like a massage or meditation CD can help, but do try to ween yourself into silence as time goes by.
STEP 2: Sit. I know, it seems too simple, but actually it’s not. If you have trouble in a cross-legged position, sit on a chair. One without arms is best. The way you cross your legs or what you sit upon is not important. Seriously, thoughts like this will only lead you to not actually sit, which ultimately defeats the purpose entirely.
STEP 3: Shut your eyes. You need not be forceful here, the whole process should be fairly relaxing.
Your quiet, your sitting. Stillness and silence, that’s what you tell yourself you crave, right? Well, there it is, now comes the hard part. Can you make a habit of it? Can you increase the duration of each sit? Gradually, you will get better, it will all seem more natural. It’s best to take it easy on yourself the first few times. There really is no tangible prize, however, the benefits abound, as you begin to see and feel them, you will know the true value of meditation. It is a wonderful thing, and most will agree, it’s fairly difficult for something that seems so "easy"
Enjoy your sit and those to follow.
