If you want to watch video about this, then you can click below
Sit on a flat surface. Your legs should be crossed and your back should be straight. Place your arms in front of your body and should be interlocked.
Close your eyes and try to focus on your breadth. Besides this, you should be aware about your body, for example - be aware about the movement of your body, be aware about your body's heat, be aware about your heart beat or anything that deals with your body.
During meditation, focus on your breathing in and breathing out. Feel how the air goes into your nostrils. Do this process again and again. Don't care about what happened to you in the past and don't think about the future. You must live in the present moment. After a while you will feel relaxed and your mind will be calmed. In the first few days, you will feel disturbances around you, but this problem will be fixed after a few days of meditation.
While doing this, you might feel pain or concern about health related issues, then you can use a chair.
Sitting on a flat surface is not compulsory to follow. But if you can tolerate that pain then you should go with the first option. you can use a cushion under your legs to feel comfortable.
Another method is that whenever you feel pain while meditating then you say pain-pain-pain in your head, then pain will disappear and that pain will not appear at the same place.
If pain becomes intolerable then you can get up and can walk in the room. But don't try to change your posture while meditation.
After a few days of continuous meditation, you will find extreme changes in your thought process, always be satisfied with other things, negative thoughts have no more place in your mind and always kind with others and feel happy all the time. It is not used for any kind of cure and has no direct connection between the diseases and mental problems, but it is seen that people feel better results in psychosomatic diseases that they earlier have.
