Meditation Techniques For Beginners – Part 1
Counting your Breaths
This is perhaps the simplest meditation technique for beginners.
Concentrate on your each breath that goes in and out. This helps you tap its rhythm, it is in fact but natural to find it hard to concentrate. So, do not be disappointed and start tapping the rhythm of your breath again. Do not stress your mind by trying too hard to regulate your breath.
Try breathing initially without counting for a few minutes and when you believe your breathing is at a regular pace and cycle, then start counting it.
Set targets on the basis of the duration or number of breaths and gradually increase them.
Important Note: After you are done, the process of opening your eyes, accepting the surroundings and getting up should be slow and gradual.
