-The Buddha
If you have ever watched Eat, Love, Pray...the meditating part...that is what I picture meditating to be like. BORING! But today, I was told to meditate. To take time every day to meditate.
So, since I know NOT a thing about meditating I got online and did some research. There has to be something to make this easier-right. I found this great website, meditation.org.au. It has seven steps to mediation and breaks the 'class' down into Lessons.
1. Find a special place
2. Prepare physically
3. Sit relaxed & strait (to keep you from falling asleep)
4. Start with 5 minutes
5. Choose the right time (for me this will be before bed-so I will update this post with what I think if it after tonight)
6. Music
7. You (you are the teacher. What you experience, discover...)
"Remind yourself of the greatest gift of meditation: faith in oneself"
Exercise 1-meditate with a candle
UPDATE:
I tried this and loved it. I do think you have to have meditating music and I'm not really sure I did it right, but I felt relaxed after. I think you are suppose to clear your mind from thought. I still need to work on that.
