Have you ever thought about trying meditation, but just never understood how to get started? Don’t let that dishearten you and take you away from the practice. The art of meditation itself is a hard practice to get into and with a little time, you will hang off it.
Now let’s delve into the basics:
‘Meditation is an ancient wellness practice that focuses on training awareness, attention, and compassion.’ The practice originated in the Asian countries of India, China, and Japan. But now it's recognized and practiced all over the world. The reason behind this sudden growth of the practice is the change in lifestyles.
We now live very fast-paced lives, where one easily gets stressed and overwhelmed. The practice of meditation helps you draw your focus back and help you manage your stress and concentration levels.
Though the process of meditation seems straightforward, it’s a little difficult to get into in the beginning. Many find it strange to sit in silence with their innermost thoughts. The funny thing is the mind has this tendency to resist this process. But don’t let that discourage you from practicing. It might be frustrating initially, but soon you will get the hang of sitting through a whole ten minutes, and as time passes you will be able to sit for a longer period without even realizing what you are doing.
One should always keep your goal for meditation in mind. Your goals can be as basic as improving your focus and concentration levels to improving your relationship with someone. The practice of meditation is for awareness; therefore, it is said that the practice can help you generate awareness in any aspect of life.

The above is a beginner's guide to meditation. The most important thing about meditation is, that you should never give up. There will be many distractions that come your way, but there is a reason you chose to start the practice, so you should make sure you stick with it. For a beginner 10 minutes, a day is enough.
