It’s crazy how easily we forget to quite our minds and BREATH. Just like how a computer can overheat and the battery can get less and less if you never shut it down on occasion; same applies to a humans.
How to meditate
There are no strict rules to meditating. That’s the first thing to remember. It helps to have a peaceful environment with fresh air or dim lighting, but it’s not necessary. Start by sitting still, close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths. After come deep cleansing breaths, let go of control and breathe naturally without much thought (just as long as you are breathing).
Start to focus your attention and calm your entire body and mind. Relax every muscle in your body. Loosen your forehead, remove your tongue from the top of your mouth, and relax your jaw. If your mind start to wonder, focus on your breath; your breaths filling your stomach, your chest and your cranium. Slowly forget about your breath again (but do not stop breathing) and return to a meditative state.
