10 Do’s and Don’ts Of Meditation (Part 1)

1● 𝐁𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐀 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 – Before beginning your meditation, create a positive thought that you are a pure and peaceful soul and your spiritual father is God – the Supreme Soul, who is the Ocean of all qualities and powers and is always constant in them. This will make your meditation beautiful and keep your mind and intellect focused.

2● 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 & 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐀𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 – A very important principle of meditation is that you create positive and powerful thoughts of spiritual wisdom of the soul and God in your mind and at the same time, you visualize those same thoughts in front of the eye of your intellect, making concentration an easy and natural process and leading to a beautiful experience.

3● 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐄𝐲𝐞𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐟-𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧 & 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 – One of the key things to keep in mind while meditating is that you don’t close your eyes completely, as this prevents you from visualizing clearly the soul and the Supreme Soul as a beautiful being of light and also you can feel sleepy while creating the peaceful thoughts and not experience the depths of meditation.

4● 𝐒𝐢𝐭 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡 𝐈𝐧 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐀 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 – Meditation should not be done while feeling sleepy and without any powerful aim to connect with a Higher Source. So always sit for meditation with a determined thought to have good concentration and freshen up in whatever way you want, before meditating. Freshness of the mind and body will bring success.

5● 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐒𝐨𝐟𝐭 & 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐈𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 – A good way to give the mind a soothing feeling in meditation is to have soft and gentle meditation music playing in the background. Also, you can play a soft meditation commentary to give the mind a direction and not let the mind wander anywhere. If you prefer silence, do not play anything.
