How to Meditate: a simple approach to mindfulness

Updated: Oct 20, 2023






Meditation is a simple and effective way to calm your mind and reduce stress. Here's how you can get started:


  1. Find a quiet and comfortable place to sit. You can sit on the floor, in a chair or on a cushion. Make sure your back is straight and your feet are flat on the floor.

  2. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Breathe in slowly through your nose and out through your mouth.

  3. Focus on your breath. Pay attention to the sensation of air entering and leaving your body. Don't try to control your breath, just observe it.

  4. When your mind starts to wander, gently redirect your attention back to your breath. This is normal and part of the meditation process.

  5. Continue to focus on your breath for 5-10 minutes. You can start with a shorter time and gradually increase as you become more comfortable with the practice.

  6. When you are ready to end your meditation, slowly open your eyes and take a moment to acknowledge how you are feeling.

Remember, meditation is a practice, and it takes time to develop. Be patient and persistent, and soon you'll be able to quiet your mind and find inner peace.
