Meditation is about focus. Ultimate stage is you are so focused that you know about everything, but to start with ideally try to focus on your self. Know your abilities, weaknesses and possibilities. It’s about increasing your vitality to be more passionate and active about what you do, mind you both good and bad things in life :) ! To start with you can focus on being truthful completely (not that you are not) and see how that brings change to your life. You need to focus on this aspect and that focus can be derived from meditation.
To start you may need to accept certain basic theories, without questions :), like you will need to keep your eyes open while doing meditation to conquer sight and thought, please do so. This also comes with a funny notion that let’s meditate on the light than darkness :)
Like alcohol does affect the way a person think after he/she consume it, every food that we take also affect our thinking pattern and how we live life. So think about which is the ideal food that can help you do proper meditation. Keep in mind animals that survive of grass are calm, most of the time :) and live long.
And just site quite any place and keep your eyes open and try to reduce your thoughts and try to see if you can hold your thoughts – most probably you will notice that this has something to do with how you breath at that time.
Then comes how to breathe during meditation, ideally if you can completely stop breathing that is really great :), but since you have plans for the week end, don’t push it too hard just try to elongate the breath and make it lighter, as if like you will never know when you took the breath in and when you exhaled the air out.
This is a very high stage of meditation and if you reached this stage, you will surely find a Guru by the blessing of Lord Shiva and with the blessing of Guru will attain further higher stages.
Breath easy :)

Meditation is what you make of it. Some people have you sit in lotus and look at candles, personally I believe as a newcomer to meditation that it is the art of focusing the mind on 1 and only 1 though... As an example when I run I meditate by counting the number of breaths I am taking... It keeps my mind busy and makes so a better run... Remember whatever you do do it fully and in the moment and you are meditating.

When you meditate keep your eyes closed and use the power of visualization for anywhere between two and three minutes. Visualize what you want to accomplish during the day. Visualize exactly what you want to happen during the day and see it in your mind.
When I started visualizing my day after I finished meditating, I noticed how my health started to improve and how my business started to do better than ever before.

Meditation with a Western flavour offers you the tools that suit our busy lifestyle, and also gives you the healing results your body and mind need.What is meditation? Zillions of definitions, ideas, conceptions. Core at all descriptions is ‘focus your mind’.
