How to meditate effectively for beginners

-Choose a place with a quiet atmosphere and a feeling of relaxation, free from distractions.

-The goal is to start meditating from a short period of time, about 5 or 10 minutes.

-Sit in a comfortable position and be confident that if you sit for a long time you will not feel tired. There is no need to sit cross-legged to meditate. May sit in a chair, recline, or do not need to sit if it is a walking meditation practice.

-Begin meditating by focusing your awareness on the in-and-out breath.

-Be mindful of the thoughts that arise while meditating. Whenever I feel like my concentration on my breathing has slipped away. Slowly return your focus to your original breathing.

-Look at various thoughts that arise in the form of observation and perception. Don't get so caught up in thinking that you develop negative feelings about yourself. You shouldn't tell yourself to stop thinking about everything because this will only create more thoughts.

-Gradually end the meditation and return to normal. If your eyes are closed, slowly open them, then remain calm for a moment to observe the sounds or surroundings. Explore the sensations that occur in the body as well as the emotions and thoughts that arise after meditation.


At first, many people may find it difficult to meditate. There is no need to force yourself to do it longer than you can. You should do it 3-5 minutes a day and then gradually. Increase the time little by little. Because the timing of meditation is not as effective as the regularity of doing it. Many people who practice meditation find that meditating every day for just 10 minutes a day.

It helps to feel calm and more mindful in living life.
