You can’t see stress, but you can feel its effects on your mind. It can affect breathing and also increases your blood pressure. Sometimes even we might get headaches from stress. I am sure we are overloaded with work pressure, family issues so we don’t have time for mediation. Even when we are relaxing on our bed at the day end, we all mostly get busy scrolling social media. But taking a few minutes to focus your mind each day can reduce stress, depression. I believe one of the easiest and most achievable stress-relieving techniques is Meditation, a program in which you focus your attention inward to induce a state of deep relaxation.

Meditation can give you a sense of calm, peace and balance that can benefit both your emotional well-being and your overall health.
And these benefits don’t end when your meditation session ends. Meditation can help carry you more calmly through your day and may help you manage symptoms of certain medical conditions.
When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every
day and contributes to your stress.

Starting Your Practise
The beauty and simplicity of meditation is that you don’t need any equipment. All that’s required is a quiet space and a few minutes each day. “Start with 10 minutes, or even commit to five minutes twice a day,” Lennihan says.
You can make meditation as formal or informal as you like, however it suits your lifestyle and situation. Some people build meditation into their daily routine. For example, they may start and end each day with an hour of meditation. But all you really need is a few minutes of quality time for meditation.
Meditate every morning and every evening for 15-30 minutes. It is bestto meditate before you eat. When you have finished meditating lay down and rest for 4-5 minutes. It’s fine if you fall asleep during meditation, but when you
wake up meditate for a couple more minutes and then lay down and rest for a couple more minutes. If you have trouble getting to sleep at night, try meditating before laying down to sleep. If you have trouble with waking up in
the night and not being able to get back to sleep, sit up in bed in the dark and meditate.
The specifics of your practice will depend on which type of meditation you choose, but here are some general guidelines to get you started:
- Sit comfortably in a chair or on the floor with your back straight.
- Focus all your attention on your breathing. Concentrate on feeling and listening as you inhale and exhale through your nostrils. Breathe deeply and slowly. When your attention wanders, gently return your focus to your breathing
- Close your eyes, or focus your gaze on the object you’ve chosen.
- Keep your mind focused inward or on the object. If it wanders, gently steer it back to center.
I know you might be thinking, Meditation is not easy work, or maybe you have tried to figure out How to do Meditation several times but failed, but trust me meditation is easier than you think, it is all about the Self-motivation, discipline and to remember, Why have you started this?
