5. Basic Meditation Techniques for Beginners

Beginning your path of meditation need not be daunting. Start with easy methods that naturally go with foot massaging. Breat awareness forms the basis of meditation practice. Start by sitting comfortably and for five to ten minutes concentrate on your normal breathing pattern. As you grow more at ease, progressively stretch the time. Beginning from your feet and working upward, practise body scanning meditation noting any feelings free from judgement. Learn to see ideas free from attachment, let them pass like clouds in the sky. Choose simple slogans or mantras that speak to you and time them with your breath and the massage motions. Consistency is more crucial than length; regular short sessions are more helpful than sporadic long ones. Natural awareness of the link between your mind and body will grow as you advance.
