Meditate with a clear goal

Instead of just trying to clear the mind like traditional meditation methods, determining a specific topic in advance will help you maintain deeper concentration. When your mind is guided by a clear goal, you will easily dig deeper into your thoughts, release inner conflicts and achieve valuable perceptions. This is also a way to make meditation more meaningful and effective.

Relax your body before meditation

The stiff body is a common condition when you first start meditating. To overcome this, take a few minutes to do simple breathing exercises: take a deep breath, gently stretch your muscles, then exhale slowly to relieve pressure. In addition, staying calm and focusing on each small feeling is also an effective way to increase connection with yourself. If you feel restless, you can adjust your posture or exercise gently, which helps organize energy and keep your mind alert.

Recharge the mind when losing concentration

If you notice that you are distracted during meditation, do not rush to eliminate or suppress the thoughts. Instead, stay calm, noting their presence without judging. Then, use deep breathing exercises to gently bring the mind back to the present. This approach not only helps you regain focus but also nurtures more sustainable mindfulness throughout the meditation process.
