Meditation Beginners Basic Points To Take Note Off When Starting

If you are new to meditation take this into consideration:

To start with how long you meditate is not so important. What is important is that you regularly practice your meditation.
So instead of trying to meditate for an hour or more, and doing this for several days and then taking a break for a few weeks, what you are really after, is practicing meditation for 5 to 10 minutes a time but meditate everyday.

Simple is best. There are so many meditation techniques, pick one that you like. When you start off, simple is always the best.
The less you need to remember the better you can ease into your meditation practice.

When you are practicing meditation and setting up a schedule, try to be consistent at what time you do your meditation practice. So for instance, if evening time is good for you try to meditate at the same time every day
If you happen to have a life where you work in shifts or you run around different times and days then meditate in the morning or practice in the evening whenever you can fit it in. But often it's more simple to turn a practice into a habit if you can keep consistency in all the areas of the meditation.

When you start your practice try not to do so on a full stomach, if you are going to have a meal before practice have a small meal it is probably best about half an hour before practice.
If you took a big dinner wait a minimum of two hours. If you don't wait at least two hours after a main meal the blood will be in the digestive system and you will feel tired and fall asleep.
When you are practicing it’s important to be very at ease but very alert and you're not gonna be able to do that when you are drifting away to sleep.

When you are sitting it is important that the spine be erect but the body be comfortable.
Now most of the time meditation practice is done on the floor but if you have physical disabilities or extreme amounts of stiffness in your hips or lower back you may be more comfortable sitting on a chair and that is perfectly ok, but if you are sitting on a chair try not to be sitting on one of those really big comfortable chairs. The reason is your back will bow into it. You want to be sitting down on a chair that is very erect at a straight back so the spine remains up right.
