What is meditation? Sitting cross legged, with your back straight, eyes closed and often chanting the “OM” mantra! Well, to answer your question, meditation is this and much more. A tradition started by the sages, yogis and wise men, almost 5000 years back, today has turned into a cool ritual among the present generation. Earlier people use to indulge in yoga for meditation as a means of worship and also as a daily ritual of sainthood. But today it has reduced to a yoga posture to reduce stress and increase concentration. Earlier people use to go up to the hills or other serene place to practice meditation, but today people go as far as their terrace to practice mediation.
Mediation for beginners is a little tough job. It is not that it requires a lot of hardship in its performance and thus is difficult for beginners, but since it requires a lot of concentration and focus, the beginners at times find it difficult. The present generations’ interest in meditation is quite a recent phenomenon. The growing stress at work, irregular lifestyle, getting forgetful and finding it difficult to concentrate has triggered the need for meditation. If you are a beginner and are learning to meditate then the first advice will be to locate a place which is a little peaceful, so that you are able to concentrate. The hustle and bustle of city life has made such a place extinct, but your balcony or terrace is an ideal location for the activity. Fetch yourself a nice yoga mat and sit facing the rising sun. Early in the morning is the most suitable time to practice yoga, as you are both freash and relaxed at this time of the day. Next you need to sit with your legs crossed with your hands in the front in a perfect mudra, eyes closed, and try to focus.
You can play a nice instrumental piece on your music player to increase your concentration along with the “OM” chants. Mediation for beginners is not a difficult job, all you need to do is be a little patient.
