Learn the Proper Way to do The BuddhistMeditation!

Everyone in this world has some or the other problem and so needs a solution to getrid out of it. But most of them are unable to find a solution which can give themsolace and hence, they all suffer from the pains and other bad circumstances of life.But there is something which can reduce your suffering or you can say that you willfeel relaxed. Meditation is one of the best ways to reduce your tension and relax evenif you are facing hardships and challenges in life. It can be practiced by anyone of anyage be it a child, an adult or older people. The simplest form of meditation involvesattending to one’s breath.

While doing the simplest form of meditation, one needs to sit in a simple chair, keepthe back erect if it is possible. There are traditional postures as well which were usedby people in the early times. Such postures were known as lotus posture that requiressitting on a pillow with each foot upon the opposite thigh. This is a little difficult formany people. Some people kneel, sitting back on their legs or on a pillow between thelegs. Many use a meditation bench: kneel and then place a little bench beneath yourbehind. But do you know that meditation can also be done while standing, slowlywalking, lying on the floor or even in a recliner. The Buddhist meditation is also doneto let people feel their consciousness outside and deep inside the body as well. In thetraditional way, the hands are placed loosely, palms up, one on top of the other andwith the thumbs lightly touching. This posture is referred as a cosmic mudra. Whilemeditating, the head should be upright but not rigid. The eyes may be closed orfocused on a spot on the ground a couple of feel ahead of you or looking down at yourhands. If you feel like sleeping then you can keep your eyes open.

The people who are the beginners of meditation are often asked to count their breathon the exhale up to ten. Then you can start again from number one. If you arehaving problem while continuing, just start from one again. Remember than yourbreath should be slow and regular and you should not artificially control your breath.Y ou should breathe normally and also count while breathing. May be in the starting,you may forget to count as you will be busy focusing on following your breaths.Concentrate on it while inhaling and exhaling. Y ou must be fully aware of the entireprocess if breathing, but most of the people only focus on the one aspect. The twoaspects are the sensation of coolness followed by warmth at the nostrils, or the riseand fall of the diaphragm. Most of the experienced meditators also suggest imaginingthat the air is entering and exiting from the two small holes. If you are anytimefeeling sleepy then start focusing even more such as at the nostrils. Gradually, youwill find that yourself distracted by sounds around you and thoughts within you. Thisis how you can take the most out of it from the much effective Buddhist meditation.
