2. Sit up straight. This can be in a chair with the person’s back straight and feet flat on the floor. Or it can be seated on the floor or other hard surface, usually “Indian style”, with the person’s back straight. Meditation is best experienced when the person is relaxed, but not slouched.
3. Close your eyes and breathe. Breathe in as deep as possible, pulling the stomach area back toward the spine. Hold the breath for a few seconds and exhale just as deeply. Wait a few seconds and repeat the process. To help focus the mind on nothing but the breathing, count with each breath. Count one while breathing in. Count two while exhaling and so on. Do this for ten full breaths or a count of 20.
4. Go deeper. Keeping the eyes closed, picture a very slow elevator where each floor is lit up on the door as it descends. Starting at floor ten, focus your entire mind on visualizing the number 10 lit up on the door.
5. Move toward reality and plant the feet firmly on the ground once again. Get back in the elevator.
