5 Simple Tips to Start Meditating

Choose a convenient time

This is the most important thing for keeping up the practice of being a regular mediator. There is no ideal time as such, though it is suggested to meditate around sunrise or sunset while nature transitions happen. Also, you will find the environment to be quieter during these hours.

Choose a quiet place and a comfortable posture

A place which is quiet and where you will be least likely to be disturbed can be chosen to meditate. Quiet and peaceful surroundings make the experience of meditation all the more joyous and relaxing. Meanwhile, sitting in a comfortable posture while meditating is very essential so that you do not have the urge to move every now and then. There is no rule to sit cross legs or in saint posture as such. You need to just make sure that when you sit to meditate, your spine is erect. You can even take a pillow to support your back or even sit on a comfortable chair to meditate.

Keep a relatively empty stomach before meditating and do a little bit of warm up

It is likely that you can fall asleep during meditation if you sit to meditate right after having food. Maintaining an hour or 2 hour gap between food and meditation brings great relaxation. Though it is also suggested to not force yourself to meditate when you are extremely hungry, as it might just divide your attention with the thought of food. Once you are ready, do a little bit of warm up exercise to relax your body before you start to meditate.
