Starting a meditation practice can seem daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. Meditation is moving away from non-stop thinking and learning to be present in each moment. It is about being in touch with reality and everything is real except what we think. The whole journey can be divided into three steps. It begins with body awareness. Go on doing your daily chores and simply be watchful of your body doing that. Body is walking and you watch it. Body does things like eating, talking, writing, reading, singing etc and you go on watching the body doing these activities. It will bring a certain relaxation and grace to the body. It will also relax the mind. The second step is to watch the thoughts. We think that we think but actually thoughts think us. Being watchful of every thought that comes to the mind develops a gap between us and the thoughts. It relaxes the incessant flow of thoughts however it is important to not repress thoughts. You go on watching without any judgement whatsoever. The third step is to watch feelings which is the deepest. As you complete these three steps, you are home.
