Tips on establishing a regular practice
Find a place in your home that will become your designated meditation area. Choose somewhere that is relatively quite and where you are unlikely to be disturbed.
Next you will need a small table and a few ‘props’ like fresh flowers, a candle, a picture of a spiritual teacher, some incense to burn, or anything else that inspires you. You might also like to play some simple meditative music.
It is also helpful to take a shower beforehand and do not eat before meditating.
Establishing a regular practice is a challenging task. Be courageous, be determined and don’t give up!
Reading spiritual books and maintaining a good level of physical fitness are also most helpful. Above all, just keep at it! It takes a little while to build up momentum, but once you do your life will begin to blossom in ways you could not even imagine.

“When we meditate we expand, spreading our wings like a bird, trying to enter consciously into Infinity, Eternity and Immortality, welcoming them into our aspiring consciousness. We see, feel and grow into the entire universe of Light-Delight.
—Sri Chinmoy
