Meditation - Part Three

How to Meditate.

Sit comfortably.  Uncross your arms, hands, legs and feet.  Now, take a deep breath in through the nose.  Feel the breath fill up your lungs and feel or see the clean air travelling through every part of your body.  Follow it's path until you breath it out the mouth.  Inhale through the nose, now feel or watch the clean air travel through your body, cleaning every part of your body it touches.  Exhale the dirty air through your mouth.  Take another couple of deep breaths until you feel or see the inside of your body being clean.  Then find a normal pattern of breathing, in through the nose, out through the nose. Feel the cool air on your top lip as you breath in and feel the warm air on the top of your lip as you breath out.  Concentrate totally on your breath.

If you have any thoughts come into your head, let them go and concentrate harder on your breath.  Continue concentrating as long as you can on your breathing.

Initially, you may find it a little difficult to concentrate on your breathing for 10 minutes or more, but it does get easier as you practice more.

Tomorrow I will write about another type of meditation but it is wisest to master your breathing meditation first.
