While there are many types of meditation, they are linked by a common sense of guided stillness and looking within as a way of effecting life transformation. When starting a meditation routine, it makes sense to find an area that is quiet and allows protracted time in silence, without any interruptions.
Meditation is typically undertaken sitting cross-legged, with a cushion as support and the hands resting in the lap. The back should be held upright, in alignment with its natural curvature, rather than in a slouched position.
Another critical component of meditation is the breath, with slow and deep breathing that establishes a contemplative rhythm preferred. Air should be inhaled through the nose and exhaled through the mouth, which will create a sense of the breath naturally deepening as a pattern is established. The lungs will fill deeper with each unhurried break, while the eyes can be closed or purposefully unfocused and the gaze allowed to settled downward.
