Meditation is trying to focus your attention on one thing.
This one thing could be a word, phrase, or sound, a picture or candle, or even your own breath.
It is hard to focus. As you meditate, many thoughts will pop into your head.
Ignore them.
With all these thoughts, you might not feel relaxed during meditation.
But if you try to meditate for ten minutes,
after you stop you'll almost always feel much more relaxed.
Take a few deep breaths, then try to focus on counting your breaths:
- Breathe in, and think "one", then breathe out.
- Breathe in, and think "two", then breathe out.
- Breathe in, and think "three", then breathe out.
- Breathe in, and think "four", then breathe out.
- Then go back to one.
If other thoughts pop into your head, don't worry about it. Ignore them.
Just keep breathing and counting.
Try this for ten minutes. You'll relax.
If you practice every day, you'll feel much better.
