How can I learn meditation or mindfulness at home?

Meditation and Mindfulness can be life saving, or just some of the most relaxing things you do in the day! If you want to learn them, then by golly go and learn them! Simply, you could use this page for mindfulness, we have tabs that can give you short previews. If you decide you love it, you can research more on the internet, YouTube, or simply shut your mind off and learn yourself. Listen to the things around you and feel what you are touching. Really breath in and out and feel the track of the breath you are taking. Lastly, see if anyone in your community is in a meditation club or even you could start with yoga, which is quite similar. I would highly recommend both of these exercises, they have helped me tremendously.

yoga and good music will lighten up your mood ! lie down and listen to the nature will be good too .

You meditate by “Thinking about your Thoughts”. In meditation you put into practice your concentration. And mindfulness is a state of active, open attention on the present without judging if things are good or bad. You can use YouTube videos to do these exercises.

Practise...! The beauty of mediation is that you already have all the tools you need.... You were born with them. Find some time when you won't be disturbed, calm your mind, relax and quieten your body, and make an intention to find your inner peace. Focusing on your breathing can help. There are some great guided meditations online that can help steer you in the right direction: I recommend Tara Brach, Mooji or Deepak Chopra. Good luck :)

If you go to my path on this website then mood boosters you will find a mindfulness exercise you could do I'm sure you can also buy books on how to do it and if you wanted to look on you tube there is lots of relaxation videos that can help for me mindfulness / meditation is about relaxing focusing on the moment you can do it but it takes practice (or did for me!) to switch off your mind good luck and feel free to contact a listener if you need to

There are many options, some of them are: log into 7cupsoftea and either head to the Mindfulness Forum section for inspiration and sharing of thoughts and experiences or asking your questions relating to the practice. OR join the daily mindfulness sessions which are held at 9:00amEDT, 3:00pmEDT and 6:00pmEDT. You can go to the Mood Boost section under the My Path tab, and click on one of the mindfulness meditation session there. Sit back, and follow through till the end, they don't take long. Otherwise there is plenty of great material on youtube, or sites with great information if you search on your web browser. The key is to be kind to yourself, sit back and cultivate the observer in you. Notice what goes on inside of you without judgement. 'Nothing is good, nothing is bad, is just Is.' Simply notice the thoughts and feelings which are moving through you, as though you are honoring guests in your home. People think that meditation is about clearing ones head of all thoughts.. well, it is not.. that is a consequence of practicing meditation.. Meditation is truly about focus. The Mind, is like any other organ in the body, it's function is - to think. If you stop thinking / mind stops working, then you're practically dead. :) So don't fret. Focus on your physical sensations to help you get out of your mind, and ground yourself into the Present Moment. The more you practice, the easier it becomes, like learning how to ride a bicycle. :) Be gentle with yourself, and you'll get there!

Sitting down, relaxing, doing something you enjoy will always help. When doing something you enjoy, the release of endorphins allow you to become more happy and relaxed.

I always find a quiet place in the house and sit by myself. sometimes it helps to take a long bath, reading helps and listening to music.

There are three basic aspects that you need to work with: body, mind, and thoughts. Before starting this, you need a good environment. Choose a room that you would like meditating in. If not a whole room, go for a corner, Put some pictures up, play some relaxing music to get into the feel. Do not sit near things that might distract you, E.g. Tv, Phones etc etc. Once you've picked your spot, choose a seat. It could be a cushion or on a chair. The point is to avoid being wiggly so choose wisely. Start by sitting in a comfortable position (legs crossed) don't choose an uncomfortable posture. Try to sit with your back straight. Then set your attention at one spot. Try not to wander and get lost in your thought. You will wander but that's a part of it. concentrate on your breathing. Don't worry too much about it. Don't try to alter it in any way, it should be natural. Don't let your thoughts interrupt you. At first, you will find yourself getting distracted but bring yourself back by thinking about what you are doing at the moment. How long can you do this for? Start by 10- 15 minutes and gradually increase it (20-30 and then to 45 minutes)

There are very many resources to practice meditation at home. Look up a video on YouTube or read about it on the internet. Going to your local library to find books on the topic is also a great idea!! I'm sure there are even apps for your phone or tablets for this!! Hope this helps!! xx

You can learn meditation and mindfulness easily with help from this website. Otherwise you can have a look on youtube etc too.

Do a little research on the different techniques and find what works for you. When you're happy with something, find a peaceful time and place and engage yourself!

Anyway you want to just google it. Maybe 7cups.com can help. Maybe you can read a book. One hundred characters.

by more and more practice meditation can be learned in well manner. mindfulness is to be aware to something

There are tons of YouTube videos/websites for meditation and learning mindfulness. 7 Cups also has helpful guides for topics like this that you can find at the top of your screen :)

Just find a comfortable, quiet place to sit. Take some deep breaths and try to clear your mind from any troubles or worries for those few moments.

if you click on my path at the top left hand corner of the page there is a mood boosts option, I recommend that, but if that isnt helpful enough youtube would probably have something

Practice deep breathing in and exhale slowly. Thus will help things calm down. Think about a happy times.

There are many fantastic mindfulness meditation websites that can assist you through your mindfulness and meditation journey. One particular website I have found to be helpful is Smiling Mind.

Also consider that there are many apps available if you believe it would be more beneficial to start with guided meditation - on the Apple Store, 'Headspace' has proven to be effective, and gives you the first 10 sessions for free.

Try using some youtube videos that have yoga or meditation lessons, or you can always try 7 Cup videos too

Both youtube and spotity have some great 5-10 minute meditations. Some longer ones too, but I can't go for more than 5-10 minutes personally. If I don't use a recorded meditation then I just set a timer for five minutes and focus on my breathing. Try to extend your breaths, and try to focus only on them. I chant "inhale, inhale, inhale, exhale, exhale, exhale" in my head. It's okay to get distracted, just bring your attention back to your breath when you realise that it's happened.

Write your feelings/thoughts down on a piece of paper & then, rip/burn the paper after you're done.

I would recommend you take a look at the mindfulness forum :) www.7cups.com/forum/MindfulnessSupportCommunity_106/

Relax, sit down and get comfortable. Breath in and out slowly, forget your troubles and shrug them off, listen to some relaxing sounds like wind blowing in the forest.

practise alone in a quiet and dark room with plenty of free space, I find that always helps me. calm music (YouTube it) and stay comfortable.

I've recently started looking into this myself on pinterest, youtube, and for podcasts. I've tried doing something a little bit every day. Having a clean place that is organized is a big thing. Extra clutter doesn't help. I've also thought about having a space that smells good. Try looking on pinterest, youtube, and maybe for some guided podcasts.

I took yoga classes for 4 years ( I live In India btw) but the world we live in today, it is just as easy to learn it online. Find a quiet room or open space and practice breathing exercises. After that you can try new poses like vajra asana. Meditation is essentially an internal thing- you trying to connect with your inner self and it can be achieved with sheer dedication and determination.

You can find tons of usefull recourses online. On this very site even! For me yoga works, but it might not work for you. Try out different things, maybe even step outside of your own comfortzone. You might discover something amazing! If yoga is something that you are interested in I recommend doing some Youtube searching. There are a lot of interesting channels about how you can get started with yoga and meditation. I know yoga right now is mostly seen as a kinds of fitness (which it is ofcourse) but don't forget the spiritual side of it.

There are many different ways of meditation or mindfulness. You can look up advice online pretty much anywhere with how, how long, where at, and everything else you will need and/or want to know about the subject.
