In order to feel good, your mind has to be freed from all these negative thoughts which keep rising in us... Mediation could help us to bring peace in our mental and to be more in the here and now.
But how can we begin ?
The goal of meditation is to be attentive. The best way to concentrate is to bring our attention to an object, personnally I concentrate on my breath, trying to be aware of the inhalation and exhalation, of the sensation of the air entering in my nose and coming out through my mouth. Step by step, my breath is becoming calmer...
Of course, you will not be able to stay concentrate for a long time, suddenly, some thoughts will rise in your mind : did I turn off the gas ? tomorrow I'll have a lot of work... There is no milk anymore in the fridge... etc... You don't have to stop yourself from thinking but just simply examine these thoughts, be aware of them and then gently come back to breathing...
Acknowledge the thoughts without rejecting them, simply observe !When do I have to meditate ?
It is better in the morning because you are wide awake and you will not end up falling asleep. Or in the evening before going to bed, this can help you relax and make your sleep easier.
Try to take a position where you don't feel too comfortable because you could fall asleep...
The best is to sit on a chair, in the tailor position.
