Basic Principles of Meditation

You don’t have to look like your are meditating to meditate. Sit in a way that is comfortable for you.

Don’t focus or concentration - you want to get ‘lost’ in the experience. Having an experience of leaving the awareness that you are meditating. Time lapses/Gaps in between thoughts/Disorientated feeling/

In those levels of mediation that is when your mind and body are pulling out those areas of stress within your mind and body.

Embracing all of the sounds, thoughts and everything that you are experiencing while you meditate.

Being inside minimizes the potential of distractions when being outside or in an unknown environment.
