Meditation for your Health

Many people are afraid of meditation because they think it will make them become lost in thought and not know where they are. I have heard that some people think that they will put themselves in a trance or shut themselves off from world.

But the true about meditation is that it will help you to be more alert, calm, more focused, and you will not worry as much. It is really pleasant. Meditation is good for your health.

There are more benefits you can get from mediating:

1) You will be more positive and have more self-worth.
2) It will decrease tension, tension, anxiety and depression.
3) It improves the immune system and betters your health.
4) You will feel more spiritual.

Positions for meditating

You can sit with your back straight, lay down, or lotus position (sitting with legs crossed) you must be comfortable or it will distract from you meditation. If you sit in a chair, make sure your feet are flat on the floor. Place your hands on your lap palms down. It is very important that you do not slouch down. Make sure your clothes are loose and comfortable and the room is well ventilated. Breath through you nose if physically possible. It is good to meditate in the morning and at night. If you need to meditate in the middle of the day, then do it.

How To Begin Meditating?

Sit comfortably. Close your eyes. Feel your body start to relax. Listen to your breathing. If your mind starts to wander, just focus on your breathing and this will bring you back. Try to concentrate on words like peace, tranquility, calmness, love. It is suggested that you meditate at least 20 minutes. If this is not possible, do less. You may need to set a timer when you first try this. As soon as you are done meditating, open your eyes and slowly start moving. It takes time to get used to meditating, so be kind and patient with yourself.
