Me-Time, Meditation (Part III)

SET YOUR POSTURE, RELAX AND BE COMFORTABLE

Whether you are sitting or lying down, make sure you keep your spine straight. Then, flex your muscles without changing your posture.
While there are no rules on how to arrange your arms and legs you are more comfortable by spreading them slightly and symmetrically. You will maintain your posture for a longer time by doing so. If you sit, you may put your hands on your thighs or knees. Remember that you are contemplating with your mind, not exercising acrobatics.

To stay focus in mind you should avoid any physical

discomfort.
Some experts suggest stretching the body before meditation. If you are not striking up a difficult form a warm-up exercise is not necessary. However, stay warm during the exercise by wearing comfortable and warm clothes. We lose heat through our heads fast. If you are those who feel the chill easily, cover your heads.

BREATHE DEEP

Breathe in and out deeply but naturally.

Proper breathing enhances blood circulation and flowing toxins out of the bloodstream.

Concentrate on inhaling and exhaling fresh air.

USE ANCHORS

Chinese metaphysics deals with positive and negative energies in the universe. While the western society can explain some of the theories in today's science many theories remain a mystery. Unless you practise communication with nature through a media and trying to absorb energies from the universe you do not need an anchor.

However, you study original objects from nature, such as stones, to sharpen your senses. Studying a natural object is one kind of meditation exercises.
