Prepare the Body for Meditation
Preparing your body for meditation is important, but also simple. Don’t eat too much before you start, ideally you should have any empty stomach but not be hungry. Try to avoid too much coffee, a good time to meditate is in the morning before breakfast (and coffee), or in the evening before dinner. The body has a huge effect on meditation so try to make sure you are prepared.
Prepare the Mind for Meditation
It is also important to prepare your mind for meditation, you should allocate some time in your day for your personal growth. During this time there should be chance of distraction. It is also important that you don’t have any annoying tasks on your mind, such as hanging out the washing or an email you haven’t sent. This is your time, so don’t let any external influences change that.
Listen to Meditation Music
Music can be one of the greatest tools for Meditation. It is best to choose music that is not too over powering, gentle and soothing music that doesn’t over too much stimulus and helps you to slip into that mediative state.

Get Comfortable
