 Guided Meditation 101 - Pre-Meditation Preparation

Meditation is that experience where one’s consciousness becomes engrossed and merged with the object of meditation.

If you are an absolute beginner and are interested in meditation, the guided meditation below is for you.

Pre-meditation Preparation

You will need a comfortable place to sit, and it must be absolutely quiet. If no such place exists in your home, you may try sitting in your car.

You must be comfortable, and you must have as little outside distractions as possible.

When you have found this quiet place, sit and try to rid the body of any stress and muscular tension.

This is done by the following exercise.

While you are doing it, someone with a calm voice should read it for you and guide you through the pre-meditation preparation.
