- Try to meditate every day for at least 10-15 minutes
- Meditate in a clean and quiet place that has positive associations for you and choose a seat that is comfortable – it can be a chair or a cushion
- Don’t rush straight into the meditation but spend a few moments to relax into a comfortable posture with your back straight but not tense
- Always begin by developing a positive wish to benefit yourself and others through your meditation
- During the meditation try not to forget the object of meditation – what you should be concentrating on – and if you do forget it bring it back to mind straight away
- Before you rise from meditation, mentally dedicate the positive energy you have created to benefiting yourself and others
- Throughout the day try to recall the experience of the meditation as often as you can and use it to guide everything you think, say, and do
