Meditation is a simple procedure that may be done at any moment and from any location where you can interiorize your mind. It is not founded on dogma, faith or ritual but rather, like science is concerned with experimentation and experience: Meditation tries to learn insights about the nature of consciousness in the same way that science seeks to understand the secrets of nature.

Set Aside a Special Area for Meditation: It is very helpful to have an area that is used only for meditation. It will help reinforce a meditative mood and over time, will become filled with meditation “vibrations.” Your area can be kept very simple – all you really need is a small cushion or a chair to sit on.
Especially good time to meditate at midnight and early in the morning. It is easier to meditate at night or early in the morning while others are asleep.
The first thing you need to do is settle on when it is convenient to do your meditations. In choosing a time for meditation, regularity is the most important factor, so set a time when you can be consistent. Meditate every day. Even if you meditate only five or ten minutes at a time, at least start! Better yet, try to meditate fifteen to twenty minutes twice a day in the beginning and then increase the time gradually; but don’t go beyond your capacity to enjoy each meditation. Depth of meditation is more important than the length of time spent. As you progress you will find that you naturally want to meditate longer. The more you meditate, the more you will want to meditate!
Once you have chosen a time for your meditations, stick with it until a strong habit has time to form. So let’s start your new habit and enjoy it.
