A lot of studies have been written about the benefits of meditation. But a few
really teaches us how to actually start doing it. Here are the 12 ways to
prepare ourselves to meditate.
1. Pick a private spot
The first thing to decide on is to pick the best place in your home or
community to meditate. You can start with your room, prepping it to make it
more conducive for meditation. There are also other places you can sit like a
quiet garden, a river side or under a tree in the nearby woods -in which you can spend some time alone.
With a place set, there would be less effort in looking for a place every time you need to meditate.
2. Make it a regular schedule
If you really want to see the long-term effects of meditation to your well-being, then start with setting aside
regular time to meditate. You can start with short 15min sessions to an hour. Setting up sessions several
times in a week entirely depends on your guided meditation lessons.
3. Eat light
It is quite obvious that you do not want to meditate on an empty stomach, but starting out full might make
you feel drowsy. You can start with a light vegetarian meal an hour before your meditation. Advanced
practitioners such as monks also fast as they meditate, but they are already used to that practice. Since
you are new to meditation, it will be a challenge for you to focus on your inner self if you feel hunger pangs!
Also make sure to hydrate yourself well before starting your meditation.
4. Stretch
Before you hit the floor sitting or lying flat, you might find stretching your muscles beneficial. This relaxes
your muscles and joints. Also doing some stretching will prep your body to focus inward.
5. Have a purpose
Always have something positively significant in mind while meditating. This is an active process; you are
trying to channel your energy into something important. Your primary goal is to ease up your mind and
relax. So start your focus with positive thoughts will help you get on the right track in meditation.
6. Be aware with frustrations
It will not always work the first time. Remember that we live in a stressful world, so attaining clarity in a few
minutes is difficult. So whenever you thought that meditation does not work, the more you should keep
going until it becomes a habit. Only then the true benefits of meditation will manifest within you.
7. Let everybody know of your “me” time
Your family members must understand and respect that you should not be disturbed during your
meditation. If you have small children whom will prove difficult to leave you at peace, then time your
meditation when they are away in school or during their nap time.
8. Read more about meditation
When doing meditation on your own, it is best to educate yourself on how to do it correctly. Remember that
you want to learn to focus your energies on certain thoughts, allowing yourself some mental clarity. If you

basis for a year and see the changes meditation brings to your life. Soon you will find meditation part of
