The basics of meditation

These are the basic instructions for practicing meditation: find a clean place to lay out a mat or something to protect yourself from the ground. Put a blanket or towel over the mat and sit on a cushion that isn’t so high that you are unstable or so low that you are uncomfortable. Sit with your body, neck and head all in a straight line.  Don’t look around or let your mind wander. Instead, focus on a point between the eyebrows and concentrate on one thing only.  Be serene and fearless. Your mind and body will gradually calm down. Sit thusly, firm in the vow to ignore the body and its sensations. Meditate with the intent to identify your consciousness with the image of God within. If you have the self-discipline to practice this steadily for a long enough period of time you will naturally attain a state of serenity and peace which will allow you to perfectly reflect the image of God within you.
