The following step by step guide for performing meditation looks to serve a range of people and practitioners of the art. These are generic steps and are meant just for reference.

• Sit comfortable and don’t slouch. Keep your spine straight; it is very important.
• You do not need to tightly shut your eyes. Let your eyelids drop to the level where you feel comfortable.
• Do not try to focus on anything initially. Just let your eyes gaze in a downward direction and let them rest.
• Keep gazing; remember that the gazing is your primary focus and not the area or object that you are gazing at. Your breathing will slowly become more rhythmic.
• Now let go. Don’t force your body to do anything. If your eyes droop, let them close. If your attention drifts, it is not a big problem. It’s only if you feel you have come out of the relaxed place should you bring your attention back to your relaxed downward gaze.
