MEDITATION TIPS FOR BEGINNERS

Nigel Mustapha

SET A TIMEPick a consistent time during the day where mediation can always be the

main focus. Through consistent practice, it will be a daily ritual. After

following for at least 21 days, the body will set it as a devoted habit or pattern. Fight through feelings of not wanting to practice. More regularity will lower one’s

overall feeling of resistance.

TRY ONLY 5 MINUTES

To begin a routine, only starting with five minutes will alleviate

any possible feeling of an overwhelming time demand, Also, starting this way will set the stage for gradually adding

more time.

TAKE NOTE OF THOUGHTS

Be mindful of negative feelings that appear in your mind.

Practicing meditation will create a rehearsed mental silence that will calm down those unwanted

thoughts and overall internal noise.

CHOOSE A QUIET PLACE

Early in the morning is a one of the most peaceful

times of the day. Engaging the mind at when it is in a

half awake state will help to calm it before it starts to

think of day to day things.

CREATE AMBIENCE

Mediation can be even more fulfilling with the use

of tools. A helpful ritual may be the use of candles

or calming music.
