How to practice Meditation?Meditation is not a difficult task that you must force upon yourself. Find a simple, uncluttered, quite place where you will not be disturbed. Adopt a comfortable sitting posture with your back straight and your eyes closed. This process begins with physical stillness. After accomplishing stillness, one becomes aware of obstacles arising from muscles twitching, tremors occurring in various parts of the body, shaking and itching. These obstacles arise because the body has never been trained to be still. Then bring your awareness slowly down through your body, allowing all of the muscles to relax except those that are supporting your head, neck and back. Take your time and enjoy the process of letting go of the tension in your body. This letting go begins with the body and then progress to thoughts. Once the body is relaxed and at peace, bring your awareness to your breath. Meditation is a process of giving your full attention to whatever object you have chosen. In this case you are choosing to be aware of the breath. Meditation is simply attending. You can begin by attending to your breath and then if a thought comes, attend to it, notice it, be open to it and it will pass. Then you can come back to the breath. Competent teachers instruct students in how to be free from external influences and how to follow the primary steps, so that body, senses and the mind are prepared for meditative experiences. If the preliminaries are ignored, then students may waste years hallucinating and fantasizing, simply feeding their egos and not attending any deeper experiences.
