What Should You Know About Meditation?
Your Health Monthly Magazine August 2009
By Brandi Schlossberg

WHAT ARE THREE MAIN THINGS/TIPS A WOMAN SHOULD KNOW WHEN SHE MEDITATES?

Set aside the same time or times each day for your meditation. Meditate 5-15 mins and be very consistant about it, then increase your time as you can. Be comfortable, the mind has no chance to be peaceful and still if the body is restless and uncomfortable.

SHOULD THERE BE MUSIC PLAYING?

Meditation is concentration; taking the mind off many things and placing it on one thing at a time. I find music distracting.

WHAT POSITION SHOULD HER BODY BE IN?

Sit Erect! A chair is fine, or a comfortable cross legged position on the floor or on a cushion(s). If you sit on a chair, try not to lean back. Meditation benches are helpful too. What ever your position, keep you back straight, chest raised, head erect, eyes closed, and hands resting palmed upturned, in your lap.

IS THERE A SPECIFIC STYLE OF BREATHING SHE SHOULD USE?

There are many types of breathing techniques. These techniques are called pranayama - yogic style meditations. Try a Measured Breath. Inhale to a count of six, hold the breath for six, and exhale for six. Adjust the count to what is comfortable for you, so there is no straining involved. Do this for three rounds.
