Preparation for Any Meditation
Environment:
As you move into meditation, create an environment that will enhance your meditation. You will need a time and space where you will not be disturbed. You might hang a “Please do not disturb” sign on the door and put your phone on silent.
Body:
If you’re thirsty, drink some water. If your stomach is growling, get a little something to eat. Have a blanket available if you need one. In other words, anticipate any possible distractions to your meditation and take care of them before you start.
Be comfortable:
Find a comfortable chair – but not so comfortable that you fall asleep. Wear comfortable clothing that won’t make you fidget.
Relax:
Before you sit down, take a few minutes to stretch and breathe deeply. This can help release tension from the body, mind and emotions. Then sit quietly for a few minutes and let your body relax. As you relax, notice energy flowing freely through your body.
Distractions:
Make it a point to let nothing that happens in the physical environment disturb you. You can do this by simply telling yourself that any noise you hear will help you relax more deeply and lift higher in consciousness.
