Introduction:
Meditation is a simple way of liberating your mind, forgetting about daily anxieties and focusing on mental relaxation. Going into a meditative state involves learning to become a passive observer of one’s thoughts. It does not mean suppressing them or attempting to force them to disappear.
Five tips for beginners to learn how to meditate:
1) Find a quiet, peaceful place.
2) Sit comfortably, with eyes closed and focus on the region of the heart.
3) Imagine that the source of light is within the heart and focus within.
4) Meditate for 10 minutes by watching your thoughts and watching the watcher of your thoughts until you feel ready to come out of the meditation.
5) Repeat it every day, in the morning and the evening. Incorporating this time for quiet contemplation and reflection can bring you enormous mental and physical benefits.
Benefits of Meditation:

Other health problems like high blood pressure, irregular or high heartbeat, high pulse rate, abnormal breathing patterns, and anxiety also are regulated.
Helps in concentration:
Meditation is a great aid in regulating the mind. When you pay attention to every unnecessary thought, you are drawn away from what is truly important. Practicing meditation helps you to gently ignore what is unnecessary and focus more on what is important. This gives you greater clarity and makes you faster and more capable of anything that you do.
