Steemit Engagement Challenge | S7W6 | How to Practice Meditation Every Day

Hello Steemians!
It's a pleasure to participate in this community's contest for Steemit Engagement Challenge season 7 of week 6 which is aimed to explain how to practice meditation every day. With the help of the following tips given by the community as guideline, I will write on each of them.

Define Meditation and How it is Useful for our Health

Meditation calms and gives peace to the soul. This is also a way to balance and put our emotions together when stressed.
Meditation is a form of relaxation that helps in relieving stress and also improve our health during exercise by renewing our minds.

Meditation has several ways in which it can be useful to our overall health. Since meditation has to do with the mindset and thoughts, it helps in calming our mind down and also by taking it off negative thoughts that can cause anxiety, depression, symptoms of insomnia, chronic pains, high blood pressure and risks of heart disease and stroke.
Peace is also one of the most important thing required for good state of health and meditation brings that to our soul.

Mention the Basic Guidelines of Meditation for a Beginner

The first step to have a good meditation as a beginner is;

• Finding a quiet place which no one will disturb because in order to have best time of meditation you must stay in a calm environment most especially in the morning while doing yoga exercise.
• The next step is to sit straight with your eyes closed, cross your legs and fill your mind with only positive thoughts and take a calm breath.
• Make sure the place is comfortable and meditate as long as your strength carries.

How I Practice Meditation Everyday

I do exercise almost everyday, at least 5 times in a week. I meditate after my exercise. I usually wake up by 4:00am then by 5:30am, I step outside to my favourite spot where I normally carry out my morning exercise.

After the workout, I will sit down and have my quiet moment alone by closing my eyes and taking a breath slowly with positive thoughts running through my mind. Immediately I'm done with that I move straight to the shower and continue meditating while cold water drops on my body.
