As we work through meditation, it is important to find something to use as your focus or your tool to enter into a meditation experience. There are many different tools that you can use. The best things to do are those that allow you to relax, stay still and to have some passive amount of attention paid to the object.
Here are some examples:
• Relaxing comfortably on the couch listening to soft music. Lying down is generally more beneficial than sitting up because it allows all of your muscles to relax.
• Prayer, probably the oldest and most profoundly used tool in meditation is still one of the best tools to use to meditate with. Prayer allows you to focus and helps you to concentrate. You are quiet and still, generally. It is the most commonly used meditation stance.
• A fire can be a wonderful meditation tool as well. Sitting quietly by the fire, gauzing into it is alluring and often times allow a person to completely become memorized. For meditation purposes, a fireside meditation can be the perfect location, assuming you are safe of course.
• Focusing your attention on any single object can be beneficial as well. Often times, this can be on anything that’s in the room where it’s quiet and open enough to relax. You can do this with anything in the room, a person, a scene or even just the atmosphere of the room.
In meditation, the goal is to find something to meditate on that allows you to focus, quietly and still, on it. Anything that provides this can work for you.
