Set a proper scene

Find a space for meditation.It should be private and quiet.Make sure the temperature is comfortable.Sit on a cushion (垫子) if the floor is uncomfortable.You may play soft music if you like.

Take a moment to loosen up.Remember that the goal of meditation is to relax.Loosen your clothing, remove your shoes and have a good stretch.Do your best to ease any muscle tension that might keep you from achieving relaxation.Make an effort to relax your facial muscles.

Focus on your breath

Sit down in the space you’ve prepareD. Close your eyes and breathe.Each time you breathe in, count “one”.Each time you breathe out, count “one”.The idea is to strengthen being in the moment — the last breath doesn’t matter, and the next one doesn’t matter; only this one matters.

Return to real life
