To begin meditating, sit comfortably and quietly in a peaceful spot. Then close your eyes for a minute or so and do nothing. It’s fine if you have thoughts throughout that period. Then play your mantra** in a whisper while listening to the audio below. Say your mantra silently inside each time you hear it, without moving your tongue or lips. The sounds will fade to silence after one minute. Then keep going.
The mistakes that you shouldn’t try.
Do not TRY to meditate. Trying to meditate is the biggest mistake people make. During meditation, just do nothing. It is very important to do absolutely nothing during meditation.
One thing people don’t understand is that the benefits of meditation come from meditating regularly. The benefits come naturally over time, and there is nothing you can do to MAKE those benefits come. So avoid looking for particular experiences or signs of progress or failure with your meditation because that will block you from getting the benefits of meditation.
Meditation can make you happier.
Moreover, most first-time meditators find it strange and difficult to sit in silence with eyes closed and do nothing. Most often for many, it is even difficult to keep their eyes closed. And that’s completely okay.
