Meditation is a boon to mankind and has numerous benefits. However, it demands a calm and serene place, away from all the hustle and bustle. And the best place for meditation is your home as you know your home closely. It has your vibes, your soul, and each and every corner is well known and filled with your essence. When you meditate at home, it helps to erase all the negativity and can help fill each and every corner of your home with immense positivity. That positivity helps in enhancing the love and bond between the family members.

Meditation at home is easy; all you have to do is to find a place that will be your meditation area and fix it. When you’ve found a meditation area that is not affected by any noise, distracting lights, or any other disturbances, then just sit on the floor or in a comfortable stool or chair with your back straight and your chin down. Inhale in and out through your nostrils, and focus your attention on your breath.

Meditation is a way to train the mind and make it fit, which is why it’s important that your meditation spot is full of pure energy. Ideally, your meditation spot should be somewhere where there are no distractions. If it’s near greenery, then it’s even better. But remember to inform your family about your meditation spot so that they’ll avoid disturbing you there.  

Here’s how to begin:

* Just sit or lie comfortably either on the floor or on a cushion.

* Close your eyes and start breathing normally.

* Observe the way you inhale or exhale and focus your attention towards one thing. Breathe naturally; do not rush it. Keep your posture straight. If your mind wanders, just bring it back into focus again.
