If you would like to try some deep mediation that will help you relieve some of your stress, then this is a short guide on how to perform mediation the correct way.

Prepare yourself

• Let your muscles and all of your body fully relax. A pillow under your knees and one behind your head may be helpful. The room should be absolutely quiet unless there is some sort of mellow music playing in the background.
• You begin by paying attention to your breathing and deepening your breath. Focus on breathing into areas that are tense or tight and exhale taking that tension out. While inhaling think as though your breath is coming in from the bottom of your feet and leaving through your head, then reverse the process while exhaling, think as though your breath is going in through your head and exiting through the bottom of your feet. Do this for about 5 to 15 minutes. 
• The next thing that you should do is to focus on every specific part of your body and relax each area one by one. It does not matter if it is your fingertip, toe, nose, heart or internal organs etc. If you have an instructor you will be asked to visualize different pictures such as a white fence, a black crow or an airplane and anything else because this part of the relaxation process is just allowing you to take your mind off of anything that is bothering you. When you are completely relaxed you may want to give yourself some suggestions such as, I am happy with myself, or I am very peaceful. When you are finished with this process you should feel the mind healing effects take place right away. This is only a beginner's basic mediation exercise, to get the full effect of mediation you must keep working through all of the levels.
