The Paranormal Guide

Put your expectations aside, and don't worry about doing it right. There are infinite possibilities and no fixed criterion for determining right meditation. There are, however, a few things you should not do.

Trying to force something to happen.

Over-analyzing the meditation.

Trying to make your mind blank or chase thoughts away.

Putting too much emphasis on doing it right.

Often we experience sensations in meditation: emotions, feelings of changing size and shape, delight, awe, fear and so on. These are different for everyone, and are part of your own path. Allow yourself to witness and learn from the experience, but do not try or expect to repeat it, or to understand the experience. Accept what is there, ask for nothing and appreciate what is happening.

Although it's best not to eat for 1/2 hour before and after meditation, it's not necessary to meditate on a completely empty stomach. If you're hungry, eat a little something.

Find a quiet, comfortable place to meditate. You can sit in a comfortable chair, on the bed, on the floor... anywhere that's comfortable.

Eliminate as much noise and as many potential distractions as possible. Don't worry about those things that you can not control.

When you sit to meditate, sit comfortably, with your spine reasonably straight. This allows the life force energy to flow freely up the spine, which is an important aspect of meditation. Leaning against a chair back, a wall, headboard, etc. is perfectly all right. If, for physical reasons, you can't sit up, lay flat on your back.

Place your hands in any position that is comfortable.

If it does not go against your beliefs, call on a "higher source" for assistance in your meditation. This can be very helpful, but it is not absolutely necessary.
