Meditation does not have to be some complicated ritual attached to a particular religeous discipline...
meditation can take any form, walking, running , doing the dishes, any form of concentration on one thing.
you don't need a special cushion or anything else for that matter...
just a comfortable chair, feet flat on the floor...
some people stare at a candle...there are different ways to approach it, but a simple exercise that works for a lot of people is to close your eyes and visualize a screen in front of you...
visualize your thoughts as leaves floating past you on the screen, do not give them any thought , watch them come and watch them go...
that is it, that is meditating...the idea is to have an empty screen, a quiet mind....the thoughts come in, the thoughts go out , you do not attach yourself to them
start off by practicing for as long as you can...5 mins, 10...
eventually you will be able to sit longer...
as you become more experience , your experience with meditation will deepen , but this is a good place to start, keep it simple...Namaste, Grateful
