Snippets from a Meditation Course - Learnings

#166

1. Maintain a meditation notebook.
2. Jot your experiences and reflect on your journey.
3. Count your breath - 1 for inhale, 2 for exhale, 3 for inhale again, and so on until you reach 10. Restart the count and repeat.
4. Sit in a chair, check your posture, adjust your seat if it's too high or too low, have your feet rested well on the floor, keep your spine straight.
5. Experiment with your thoughts, become aware and observe them.
6. Follow your train of thought and see where it leads.
7. Relying on motivation can become an obstacle. Force the position instead.
8. Walk slowly and be mindful of each step, experiencing the earth beneath you.
9. Find a mix of techniques that works for you - visualization, meditation in groups, walking meditation.
10. Continue practising regularly.
