How do you meditate?

What are the steps that you follow to have a good meditation.

I find a quiet place where I won’t be disturbed and I set an alarm for when the meditation will end, this is so that I don’t have to worry about the time or how much time has passed—I’ve meditated for 3-4 hours at a time before so it’s good to set a timer.


Then I close my eyes and breathe deep, completely forgetting about time, letting everything go with every breath, letting go of every single worry and anxiety, emptying my mind and just breathing.


Visualizing things burning away or washing off of you like being engulfed in a purifying ethereal fire or a river current that flows through your entire body helps a lot too.

As for music, I like natural white noise like the ocean or rain or fire (not really white noise but can help if you’re using the fire visualization).

If I choose music, something instrumental and profound on loop like The Truth by Audiomachine.

I like doing repetitive movements. Stuff like cleaning & organizing. And while I do it, I think about anything that comes to mind. Washing dishes by hand is one of my favorite modes.

Get myself in a quiet place and in a comfortable
position. Then I play some calming music, breathe in and breathe out while my eyes are looking up (until it gets tired) then I slowly close my eyes.

I listen to guided meditations on YouTube. I recently discovered ‘brown noise’ and it’s really helped pause my thoughts so I’m gonna start meditating with that

Quiet, Lord's Prayer to clear the air, talk, complain, read scripture back, why, how, and what for (s). I tend to do some of that in the day as well... walking around.

Think of it as like sleeping while awake.
Another one is closing your eyes and using visualizations

I do yoga for that... relaxes me both physically and mentally
