Many techniques for meditation are available, but all include a few simple steps:

Seond, look up at the light and close your eyes. Keep your eyelids gently closed, concentrating on the pineal gland or the space between your eyes. Many call this your third eye or inner eye. Imagine that you are watching a movie through a third eye in the center of your forehead. Create only those scenes that are pleasant to you.
