there are so many ways to practise mindfulness meditation. The key here is to find one that best suits your lifestyle. I know that life is busy and that there are certain responsibilities that you need to fulfill. Thus, no matter how we try not to get swept away by the incoming tide of life, just find a few minutes each day to practise mindfulness meditation. Since mindfulness meditation is a practice on purposeful attentiveness and full awareness in the present, it is somehow akin to practicing martial arts or a musical instrument. You have to be aware and mindful be a skillful meditation. If you were going for a formal practice, it is usually the breath that is the object of awareness. As our breath flows in and out of our body, we try to follow the sensations we let our breath flow through our body. Naturally, unlike breathing exercises where you control it and even time it the point in mindfulness meditation is paying close attention to the sensation of breathing. One of the top things you should understand during mindfulness meditation is how easily we get distracted. Sensations, feelings, ideas and all sorts of thoughts clamor for space in our mind until we have totally forgotten about the breath. But as soon as you realize this, begin steering your thoughts back to the breath with patients. Gentleness, kindness and a little dose of curiosity about yourself. Remember, this should not be a stressful activity. Thus try to indulge yourself and most of all, be patient, just like trying out new things. It requires practice and with constant practice, mindfulness meditation gets easier every time. It is also a good thing to set aside any self conscious expectations or judgments about how your meditation is Developing. The practice is to simply relax and wake up to the here and now upright and at ease posture, as we have mentioned earlier. Mindfulness meditation can be done in several ways. But if you also want to learn the formal practice than you do, also need to learn the posture. It is quite straightforward and easy to dio. Step one. Take a seat. It could be a park bench, meditation cushion or any chair, so long as it provides a solid and stable seat. Dont hang back or perch on the chair. Step two. If you have chosen to sit on a cushion on the floor, then comfortably cross your legs in front of you in short set like an Indian. Also feel free to go for a seated yoga posture if you also prefer that method. However, if you have chosen to sit on a chair, make sure that your feet are planted on the floor in front of you. Step three. Straighten your upper body, so no slouching, but definitely don't stiffen your back to just sit comfortably upright. Just follow the natural curvature of your spine with your shoulders and head resting comfortably on top of your vertebra. Step four. Keep your upper arms parallel to your body and at the sides with your hands resting on top of your legs. Do not place your hands too far back or else it will stiffen you if you place your hands far forward. This will make you hunch. Let your straight upper body guide where to rest your hands on your lap comfortably. Step five. When meditating. You do not need to close your eyes. A lot of people do because they have a hard time concentrating, and objects they see can distract them easily. You can leave your eyes open without really focusing your site. On a certain point, do you drop your chin a little and allow your gaze to gently fall downward? Step six. Settle yourself into position until you were Addie's before beginning to contrite on each breath, you draw until you let it go.
