The Basic Steps to Meditation

1. Find a quiet place to meditate. It can be in your room, in your backyard, in your closet, at work, or near the beach. It can take a few minutes or even hours. Meditation can be done also during your spare time.
   
2. Close your eyes and clear you mind. Think peaceful thoughts. Imagine that you hear the gentle waves of the ocean and that you are on the beach. Just clear your mind and think of peaceful thoughts.
   
3. Take deep breaths. Breathe in and out (inhale an exhale). Do this for about 10 minutes.
   
4. Relax you hands in your lap.
   
5. Now release your stress and negative energy that you may be feeling. Release whatever source that is clouding your mind. If your job or bills are stressing you, then release it and let it go. Put everything in God's hand. There are some things that are beyond our control and instead of stressing yourself release it and clear your mind. Think about the things that make you happy. Replace your negative thoughts with positive ones and believe that everything will be all right. You must put your faith back on God and not on your ego or your perception of the physical world.
   
6. Focus on your purpose and remind yourself of what you are put here to do.
   
7. Now open your eyes.
