Pay close attention to your breath. Follow it through your nose all the way down to your lungs and try counting ‘one’ as you take the first breath and keep repeating till 10.
As a beginner, it is enough to sit for five minutes or even less. If you feel like it’s less, a 10-minute meditation is great for beginners. Once it becomes a habit, you can gradually increase the time.
Another thing you can do is focus your attention on one body part at a time. Start at the soles of your feet, slowly move to your toes, the tops of your feet, your ankles, all the way to the top of your head.
You can use your surroundings as a prop to meditate on different days. Just keep your eyes on one spot, and notice the light in the room you are in. Another day, just focus on noticing sounds.
Guided meditation is a type of meditation led by a teacher who explains what to do. They cue us when to open and close our eyes, how to breathe, and break down other meditation techniques.
Consistency is the key while meditating as a beginner. One should become familiar to finding calm in any type of surroundings, for which meditating daily is essential.
