There have been countless instances where people decide to start meditation, but end up quitting it just as fast as they decide to start. They shake it off with a reason that goes like this - ‘maybe it’s just not for me’ That’s a lie we all tell ourselves when we see ourselves moving towards failure when doing something. We’ve all heard Hollywood brag about meditation, how it’s helped celebrities achieve things that they never in a million years thought they would. Once we see that we aren’t making any progress, we blame the practice itself and go on without life. Well, if you haven’t gone through something similar to this, our aim isn’t to set you off even before you start meditation, but now that you know, you can keep it as a side note - Anyone Can Meditate. So let’s begin. Now, if you’ve tried meditation in the past but left halfway through, or are completely alien to the world of meditation, you’ve come just at the right place. Here, we chop down exactly how you can kick-start your new, beautiful journey with meditation.&nbsp; Know That You’ll Wander - Most people think that the primary aim is to focus and keep your mind free from thoughts, it’s not true. This is something that you can achieve while you’re somewhere down the line and have spent a considerable amount of time meditating, but to see it as the need of an hour to begin the process, means setting yourself up for failure. Your mind will go places, and that’s okay. Be prepared to start over. Yes, this can be a little frustrating but keep your eyes on the price, the benefits of meditation. Burst Of Emotions - There will be a time where you’ll just burst out in tears or feel like there’s some sort of an angry fire rising through your chest, and you’ll feel a tremendous amount of rage. It is completely normal. More often than not, it’s a sign that you’re on the right path and are on the next step on the ladder of meditation. Do It First Thing In The Morning - While it’s something that you can do any time of the day, doing it the first thing in the morning is preferable. Why? While ‘meditating everyday’ seems like an easy job, more often than not, life comes and bursts our bubbles. You might get stuck up at work and reach home late, with a tired and sleepy head and might end up jumping straight to bed. Doing it in the morning is also beneficial as your mind is calm and relaxed and relatively free of thoughts than it is at the end of the day. One Step At A Time - While it’s inspiring to hear people talk about how meditation helped them open their third eye, float, and travel outside their body, don’t set unrealistic goals to achieve on the first go of your process. These things surely do happen and can be achieved, but it takes time. Start with just sitting with closed eyes for 2 minutes every day. While in theory this might seem easy, but in the beginning, these 2 minutes will feel longer than you assume. Gradually increase the time from the following week. Use Mala Beads - This is a great way to start as mala beads are very effective when it comes to relaxing the mind. You don’t have to be of a particular religion to experience the results, it can be used by anyone who wants to tame their mind. The strand has 108 beads and one guru bead which is larger than the other beads. Sit in a relaxed position, holding the mala bead and start with the guru bead between your thumb and your index finger, take in one cycle of breath ( Inhale slowly and exhale out ) and start turning the bead and go on the one bead. Continue till you reach the guru bead.&nbsp; Try adding these steps as you begin your meditation regime and you’ll see how you get rewarded with a calm mind and a healthy body.&nbsp;<div> </div>
