Simple Steps To Meditate
1) Begin by sitting comfortably in a quiet, undisturbed place. You can sit on the edge of a small cushion, a chair, the grass or the couch (almost anywhere). Keep your spine straight, shoulders relaxed and your hands resting gently in your lap either facing upward or downward.
2) Gently close your eyes and begin to notice the natural flow of your breath coming in and out of the nose. Use your breath as a focal point to return to each time you notice yourself back in a trail of thought.
The mind is designed to think, so there is nothing you need to do to control it.
3) Notice and be an observer of the thoughts, and gently return your focus back to the breath. You may have to come back to your inhales and exhales a hundred times in a five minute session, and that's okay!
