How to meditate for beginners contains a secret that I will share with you. You may be thinking OK, what do I need to do? Follow these 7 easy steps:

1. Meditation begins by relaxing your body. Only then will your mind be willing to meditate. So it's a continuation of what you're doing here already ... taking time to be relaxed in your chair.

2. Adjust your posture. Sitting comfortably straight is a vital key to meditating.

3. Relax your neck by very gently moving your head in small circles, or backwards and forwards and from side to side -- always do this very gently. NOTE: Do not do this if you've had a stroke or are under doctor's care. Go to next step.

4. How to meditate for beginners is so easy... lower your shoulders or roll them a few times, if they're tight.

5. Ground your body by sitting firmly on the chair. Shift your weight if necessary to become more comfortable. Stretch out your legs if you want to and then align them again. Now relax... your belly, thighs, knees, calves, ankles and feet.

6. Release any tight, sore area/s in your body. Do this by breathing two or three times "into" those spots. Take your time.

7. Breathe mindfully. That means noticing your breath. It's much like watching waves on water. Let it be how it wants to be. As you notice your breath now, it may be shallow, uneven or jerky. It's OK however it is. You're just observing it with attention and affection -- every inhale and exhale.

If you engaged in the 7 Steps, congratulations! Now that your body is relaxed, meditating will be easy. You may already have slipped into meditation once or twice while relaxing your body...

On this walk, I noticed things I usually would have missed. I heard how a brook sounds different when you listen to its melody upstream vs. downstream. I watched how snow really falls: what seems like only a few flakes observed horizontally is a load of white when you look up into the sky. I became quiet enough to hear an animal bustling in the spongy snow covered ground. Finally, I figured out that snow was more air than water. It took an enormous amount to quench my thirst.

This was far more than a lovely stroll. I actually experienced what seemed like a merging with the quiet and serenity of wintertime. To say this memory is one of my most vivid is an understatement. It ranks in intensity and depth with the birth of my son.

I view meditation as a way to invest time in you and you alone each day. We commit ourselves to many activities every day. Many of these activities likely are commitments to other people. Find a place that is relatively quiet to meditate and devote 10 or 15 minutes to meditation. Make it work for you. You can buy tapes, CDs, written affirmations or other material to help you meditate. Alternatively, you can repeat positive statements in your head, sing a song to yourself or visualize a peaceful place. Try different methods and find what works for you. Meditation is a powerful depression treatment tool and you will see results in a short time. You can use this virtually anywhere, anytime. Empower yourself, and share with others if you've had success using meditation for depression.
