Meditation For Weight Loss - Part 2
Now in order to meditate, find a comfortable place where you won’t be disturbed. Sit comfortably on the floor by crossing your legs and keeping your spine straight. You can also sit on a chair if that is more suitable for you. The key is to feel very comfortable while doing this process. Intertwine your fingers loosely on your lap and keep your head straight. Now close your eyes and keep your mouth closed. Take a few long and deep breaths through the nose to start slowing your heart rate and relaxing your body. Inhale slowly and then exhale slowly. Next, focus your attention on your inhale and exhale breaths from the nostrils. Don’t take very deep inhale and exhale breaths after your first few deep breaths. It should be normal and comfortable and fluent. Don’t breathe from your chest, but through your diaphragm and stomach. As you exhale, just feel the breath leaving your nostrils. Do the same for the inhale. Just concentrate on the movement of the breath as it flows in and out through the nostrils. If your mind starts wandering by either some form of mental imagery, or inner voice, and it starts to pull you in to those thoughts and sounds, slowly bring your attention back to the breath.
At first you will have a lots of thoughts and inner voice distractions, but overtime the mind will slowly start to calm down and become more calm and quiet. Don’t strain or try to hard when trying to do this process, but let it be gradual and just become aware that you are thinking and getting distracted, and slowly turn your attention back to the breath. Do this for as long as you feel comfortable. It can be 5 minutes, twice per day, or longer. There have been many studies done to show that meditation has it’s greatest effects after 20 minutes. So doing 20 minutes twice per day can have a tremendous effect on the mind and body. Also, doing meditation when you first wake up in the morning and before sleeping have also proven to be the best times to meditate. You shouldn’t also meditate right after you ate, but you should not be hungry either. So if you just ate, wait at least an hour before meditating.
Now after a few weeks of doing this, your mind will be a lot more sharper, clearer, quiet and calm. You won’t feel as agitated, and you will start to feel more gratitude for who you are as a person. You will be able to concentrate better and thus be more efficient and productive in all your daily activities. However, this is not the end.

This is only the beginning, and meditation for weight loss will become easier for you the more you do it.
