Meditation isn’t about becoming a different person, a new person, or even a better person. It’s about training in awareness and getting a healthy sense of perspective. You’re not trying to turn off your thoughts or feelings. You’re learning to observe them without judgment. And eventually, you may start to better understand them as well. HOW TO MEDITATE (1) Sit or lie comfortably. You may even want to invest in a meditation chair or cushion. (2) Close your eyes. We recommend using one of our Cooling Eye Masks or Restorative Eye Pillows if lying down. (3) Make no effort to control the breath; simply breathe naturally. (4) Focus your attention on the breath and on how the body moves with each inhalation and exhalation. Notice the movement of your body as you breathe. Observe your chest, shoulders, rib cage, and belly. Simply focus your attention on your breath without controlling its pace or intensity. If your mind wanders, return your focus back to your breath. Maintain this meditation practice for two to three minutes to start, and then try it for longer periods.
