THE GOAL OF MEDITATION IS not TO CLEAR YOUR MIND. It is to connect your mind & body, resulting in more peace, balance, focus and clarity (to attain the highest level of consciousness possible).

HOW AND WHEN TO START
- Meditation practice starts with finding the time on a daily basis. The good news here is that not a lot of time is required.
- Start small (2-3 minutes, or 10-20 breaths)
- Be comfortable
- Focus on your breath
- 100 breaths meditation (count your breaths 100 times)
- Timer meditation (set your timer so your mind doesn’t constantly wonder how much time is left)
- Consult the doctor
- A beginner can start with just a few minutes a day, eventually getting to 20 to 30 minutes a day as the benefits of the meditation become so obvious that it becomes the most important part of his or her day.
