How To do Meditation? Meditation for Beginners

According to Swami Kriyananda, Paramhansa Yogananda often urged his students to be steadfast in meditation: “Practice night and day. It is the greatest key to salvation. Meditation is the most effective way of destroying temptation. Once you can feel the inner joy it gives you, no evil will be able to touch you.”

The following tips will help beginning meditators to acquire a taste for the joys of which Yogananda spoke:

Intensity of effort is far more important than the time spent in meditation. Never meditate to the point of mental fatigue, strain or boredom.

Make an effort to meditate a little longer at least once a week. The greatest difficulty, in long meditations especially, is physical tension. Make an extra effort to keep your whole body relaxed.

As soon as you sit for meditation, get “down to business”. Don’t dawdle, as if telling yourself, “Oh, I have a whole hour, so what’s the rush?”

It is a good practice to stick to same time for meditation every day. Routine conditions the mind. You’ll find yourself wanting to meditate during
those hours.

As soon as you sit to meditate, pray for depth and for guidance in your meditation. Pray also for peace for all humanity. Don’t isolate your sympathies from others; embrace all in your divine love.

We develop intuition by prolonging the peaceful after-effects of meditation techniques. After meditation, try to carry the meditative peace into everything you do. It may help to begin with outward activities that don’t involve your mind much. While doing them, chant inwardly to God.

Above all in meditation, be happy! If you want to experience peace, meditate peacefully. If you want to know love yourself, offer love first.
