Preparing for a meditation is essential as this will enable you to receive all the Health Benefits from the practice. You can meditate anytime, but the most favorable times of day are at dawn and at dusk, when the atmosphere is charged with spiritual energy. More important, choose a time when your mind is free of everyday concerns. Consider meditating around the same time each day and in the same place.
We recommend that you wear comfortable clothing as this will allow the freest movement of the body. Also, Create a Meditation Space that is free of distractions, mentally soothing, and will help still the mind. As most meditations are performed sitting, assume a comfortable upright position with your back, neck and head in a straight line. Modify your sitting posture with a cushion or meditation bench, if needed. If you have difficulty sitting due to back or knee discomfort, try meditating with legs straight or seated in a chair.
Most important, avoid any feelings of strain, discomfort, or excess fatigue.
Preview the video or audio practices prior to performing so that you are familiar with meditation. This will also allow you time to gather any props and materials that will be suggested. If you have any previous or current health issues (i.e. heart or circulatory conditions, respiratory conditions, muscle or joint problems, pregnancy), we strongly recommend that you consult a qualified physician prior to meditating as some the positions and breathing techniques may be contraindications for some meditations.
Allow meditation to bring mental clarity and awareness. Practice without judgment. Enjoy the stillness that grows with a regular meditation practice.
