How to meditate for beginners may seem complicated but it's not that hard at all. If you want to make meditation a part of your life you will need to go to a seminar (this is often rather expensive) or get a course online this is often much cheaper and it hands you the opportunity to learn the basics and lets you find out if meditation is really something for you before you decide to attend a seminar.

Take these 4 steps as an introduction to meditate for beginners.

1. Pick a quiet spot. Find a nice, quiet space where you won't be disturbed for a minimum of 15 minutes. Such as in a forest as an example. The natural environment will allow you to feel relax, including the birds and the wind running through your hair, or even in your own home you can create such an environment.

The beach or a green spot in the woods is my preferred choice because it makes it easier to use your imagination and listen to the music simultaneously.

Sit down and lay your hands in your lap. It's not necessary to force yourself into a position that is not comfortable and that you cannot sit in without having pain. You can sit on a carpet or on any chair with your feet relaxed on the ground..

Make sure your back is straight and you are not hurting yourself.

2. Breath slowly and deeply. Close your eyes and start by breathing slowly inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. Nice and easy. Take your time to breathe slowly and deeply.

3. As you are calming down, your body will start tickling. You are getting reaction from your body and mind. Just let it happen. When you are breathing intensely, you'll begin to feel calmer and more relaxed. Keep concentrating on your breathing. If you have trouble focusing count your breathing from one to ten and then start over again.

If you find focus back. It will happen |especially in the beginning|several times especially in the beginning|occasionally at the start}. keep being positive, it will improve fast. As you develop more focus power, you will find it easier to concentrate.

4. After 15 minutes open your eyes and stay in your position for a few minutes. get up and stretch your body a little and try to hang on to the feeling for as long as you can to keep enjoying the relaxed feeling as long as possible.

Do this exercise each day if possible to help you relieve stress from a busy day. This exercise will put you on the way to becoming a different more relaxed person. Get your life back.

This is only the beginning, there's much more to learn about meditation.
