Meditation

Meditation can be thought of as:

A cognitive process, where techniques are used to achieve a clear and calm emotional state.
An approach of training the mind, which involves maintaining your attention on a single object or thought.

Meditation practice:

Helps you improve your understanding of self.
Positively transforms your thoughts and feelings.
Clears your mind and improves your mental focus.
Helps you release attachment to outcomes and things.
Reduces feelings such as stress, frustration, impatience.
Has a cumulative positive effect on your emotional state.

When meditating, you should:

Make more time for you, by taking time to meditate. 5 minutes every day is better than 20 minutes now and again.
Sit comfortably but upright. If on a chair, your feet should be flat on the ground and your back straight.
Release any tension in your back and shoulders, keeping your shoulders level.
Allow your tongue to touch the back of your upper teeth, this helps prevent your mouth from becoming dry.
Tip your head forward slightly, with your eyes half open, gazing along the top of your nose. This position helps to keep your mind calm.
Allow yourself to breathe naturally and become aware of thoughts and distractions as they enter your mind. With your out-breath, breathe these away and imagine them vanishing into space.
As you breathe in, imagine white light from source entering in and filling you full of love and light.
Continue, while breathing in love and light, and breathing out all negativity and any unwanted thoughts.
Conclude when it feels right, or your time is finished, or continue with a further technique.
