How to meditate effectively?

Sit in a relaxed position:

Fix a place in the house for daily practice and a fixed time for doing meditation. Do not change this time and place of meditation, you can sit on the chair or on the ground in crossed legged position. Clothing should be loose and comfortable. Keep thin pillow under your buttocks if you are sitting crossed legs on the ground. This will ensure proper circulation of bloods to your legs.

Take deep breath followed by a longer exhalation. Repeat it twice or thrice. During exhalation consciously relax all parts of your body.

Close your eyes gently and start observing your breathing. Your breathing will become slow and rhythmic.
Start observing your thoughts. This will make your mind thoughtless and relaxed.
Start uttering in slow self-audible voice. Utterances should be short and well worded before meditation. For example ... I am beautiful ... I am powerful... I am healthy etc.

Your utterances should be supported by strong emotions and visualization


By this way you can make yourself happy and beautiful. This is the simplest and most practical, result oriented method of meditation. We have everything within us we should not totally depend on outside things. Therefore make resolution and daily meditate for a beautiful body and mind forever.
