What is life without happiness and contentment? Full of stress. Meditation cannot be described, it can only be experienced.

While medications bring in side effects to any problem, the side effects of meditation only include confidence, positivity, self-belief, contentment, patience and sorry to pause but they are really countless (many which you may never be able to express to anyone). You can take the help of many free meditation videos to guide you through your initial steps into meditation.

For beginners, there are some simple steps to help you reap the immense benefits of meditation:

Counting your Breaths

This is perhaps the simplest meditation technique for beginners.

Concentrate on your each breath that goes in and out. This helps you tap its rhythm, it is in fact but natural to find it hard to concentrate. So, do not be disappointed and start tapping the rhythm of your breath again. Do not stress your mind by trying too hard to regulate your breath.

Try breathing initially without counting for a few minutes and when you believe your breathing is at a regular pace and cycle, then start counting it.

Set targets on the basis of the duration or number of breaths and gradually increase them.

Important Note: After you are done, the process of opening your eyes, accepting the surroundings and getting up should be slow and gradual.

Visualization Method of Meditation (Essentially for tension and stress)

In this method, sit down, close your eyes and start breathing like in the previous form. Now, start visualizing your each breath going in through your nose, filling up your lungs and as it goes out.

Start to visualize all the positive thoughts coming in and the negative thoughts going out with each breath.

Then visualize an image or situation that instills a feeling of calmness and serenity in you.

Gradually visualize all your senses like smell and touch.

Flame Mediation

In this method, light and place a candle at eye level in a semi dark room.

Prior to focusing on the candle, sit down close your eyes and do deep breathing like in the previous methods.

Next, open your eyes and focus on the flame while breathing deeply.

Do not think of anything but the flame.

Now, close your eyes and visualize the flame for as long as you can conveniently.

When the image of the flame disappears while your eyes are closed, open your eyes and focus on the flame again.

There are a number of free meditation videos available to ease your process of understanding each meditation technique. These videos become your visual guide and teacher on the path of meditation.
