Maintain consistency - Meditation practice is all about consistency. To reap the advantages of meditation, one needs to be punctual and consistent with their meditation practice. 2. Breathe naturally - When you close your eyes, shut them lightly, and start mindful breathing. Notice every breath as it naturally flows in and out of your body. Don’t try to control or manipulate it. 3. Sit in a comfortable posture - Find a posture that best suits your practice. During a meditation practice, you need to be in a posture that is conducive to your practice rather than an uncomfortable posture which disturbs your focus while meditating. After multiple attempts of trying out the right posture for yourself, you will be able to choose the best one for you. You can check some of the meditation postures here. 4. Take a moment to reflect on your thoughts - Try to notice how you are feeling after a meditation practice. How are you feeling mentally, physically and emotionally? Are you feeling relaxed, joyful, calm or more focused? It is great to connect and establish a connection with yourself before and after the meditation practice. 5. Be free of judgment - The most crucial part of the meditation process is to not judge your thoughts or your meditation session as good or bad! With consistent meditation practice, you will grow. It will be very miniscule in the beginning, but eventually you’ll start to notice the benefits. So, do not keep any expectations and be free of judgment after your meditation practice is over." } },{ "@type": "Question", "name": "What are the basic meditation steps for beginners?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Start by finding a quiet and comfortable space.

To reap the advantages of meditation, one needs to be punctual and consistent with their meditation practice.</li><li><strong>Breathe naturally</strong> - When you close your eyes, shut them lightly, and start mindful breathing. Notice every breath as it naturally flows in and out of your body. Don’t try to control or manipulate it.</li><li><strong>Sit in a comfortable posture</strong> - Find a posture that best suits your practice. During a meditation practice, you need to be in a posture that is conducive to your practice rather than an uncomfortable posture which disturbs your focus while meditating. After multiple attempts of trying out the right posture for yourself, you will be able to choose the best one for you. You can check some of the <a href="https://www.idanim.com/blog/guide-to-right-meditation-postures" title="Correct Meditation Postures - A Comprehensive Guide">meditation postures </a>here . </li><li><strong> Take a moment to reflect on your thoughts</strong> - Try to notice how you are feeling after a meditation practice. How are you feeling mentally, physically and emotionally? Are you feeling relaxed, joyful, calm or more focused? It is great to connect and establish a connection with yourself before and after the meditation practice.</li><li><strong>Be free of judgement</strong> - The most crucial part of the meditation process is to not judge your thoughts or your meditation session as good or bad! With consistent meditation practice, you will grow. It will be very miniscule in the beginning, but eventually you’ll start to notice the benefits. So, do not keep any expectations and be free of judgment after your meditation practice is over.</li></ol><p></p></div></div></li><li class="Accordion_accordionItem__xnUsp undefined" style="padding-bottom:15px"><button class="Accordion_accordionBtn__xzVyV"><p><span class="Accordion_accordionNumber__bBgA7">Q12.</span> What are the basic meditation steps for beginners?</p><span class="Accordion_control__cLXCb"><span style="box-sizing:border-box;display:inline-block;overflow:hidden;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;position:relative;max-width:100%"><span style="box-sizing:border-box;display:block;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0;max-width:100%"><img style="display:block;max-width:100%;width:initial;height:initial;background:none;opacity:1;border:0;margin:0;padding:0" alt="" aria-hidden="true" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3csvg%20xmlns=%27http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%27%20version=%271.1%27%20width=%2722%27%20height=%2722%27/%3e"/></span><img alt="Icon Feather Plus Circle" srcSet="/assets/svg/Icon-feather-plus-circle.svg 1x, /assets/svg/Icon-feather-plus-circle.svg 2x" src="/assets/svg/Icon-feather-plus-circle.svg" decoding="async" data-nimg="intrinsic" style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0;box-sizing:border-box;padding:0;border:none;margin:auto;display:block;width:0;height:0;min-width:100%;max-width:100%;min-height:100%;max-height:100%"/></span> </span></button><div class="Accordion_answerWrapper__hYtsF" style="height:0px"><div class="Accordion_answer__oxomW"><p>Start by finding a quiet and comfortable space.
