Nam buddhaya welcome to today's video today I want to share with you some meditation tips and some mindsets that we should develop while we're sitting to meditation now one of the most difficult thing when we are doing meditation is to keep going the meditation that means to do it every single day okay it is very easy to start meditating it is very easy to start a session of meditation but it's very very difficult to maintain it continuously to do it every single day okay this are the problems that most of the time many meditators struggle with they say like okay I cannot meditate every day maybe I don't enjoy sometimes doing it so there are some mindsets that you should practice and you should develop before sitting to the meditation to keep it going so from this video we are going going to discuss about it so without any further Ado let's dive in the first mindset that you should develop when sitting to the meditation is to have less expectations I know that when we are sitting to meditation we all like to have a mind of concentration and calmness and peacefulness but it does not come overnight it does not come in one practice or one take it takes a long time for our mind to get into to that level so think of your mind like a baby who is learning to walk so give yourself a good time and sit down to the meditation with very less expectations and then you can expect maybe like 0.01% progress from one session of meditation and just just be calm and be patient to and let your mind to be in the progress okay so that is how that you can keep on doing the meditation then you can enjoy the meditation because when we have big expectations and when our minds cannot live up to that expectation then you you will never be able to enjoy doing meditation because your mind is not becoming what you have expected so sit to the meditation with very less expectations the second mind set that we all have to develop while sitting to the meditation is to take a good time now one of the advises that we have given while meditating and when we sitting to the meditation is to think of yourself like you have time forever so when you have those other plans in your mind it's really difficult to meditate and that is why it is much better to set a timer to meditate and during that time you can be fully relaxed and think like I don't have anything to do but just to meditate but just to focus F us on my breath or just to be aware and mindful about my body and my mind and when you do that it creates a peaceful and a comfortable environment for you to meditate so as the second tip take a good time and take good free time to meditate the third mindset that we have to develop is to Let It Come and Let It Go Now what do you mean by this now sometimes when we meditate it is not always possible to be concentrated and to be focused sometimes your mind become distracted by some other thoughts but I would say as long as you're Mindful and if you're aware of your thoughts Let It Come okay and observe it don't go behind it don't try to chase behind it just observe that it is a thought observe and identify it as a thought and then just let it go okay it's something like this it's not as easy as you think but if you keep on doing it and if you try to do it you will be good at it it is something like this it's like you're watching a traffic pass by okay you're sitting beside the road and you're watching a traffic pass by there are vehicles and there are Vans and bicycles and buses you pass by you are not trying to stop these vehicles you're not trying to chase behind these vehicles just you sit by the road and just watch it okay so we don't want to force our mind of we don't want to force our thoughts to stop it or do anything kind of like that the best thing is to observe it okay let it come and observe and identify it as just it is a thought and let it pass away okay when you do that it's very easy for you to keep on doing meditation because sometimes when distracting thoughts or distracting sounds and like people people when you hear certain sounds and thoughts when you when you feel those things you try to fight with it okay you try to struggle with it and you think you think oh this is a distraction okay as long as you focus on the distraction and as long as you focus and you think like it is a trouble it will always be a trouble so that is why you should let your distracting thoughts come and identify it don't be panicked just let it go okay that is one way to be and that is one way to practice meditation very peacefully and happily and last but not least the final practice and final mindset that we have to maintain during meditation is to be gentle with yourself like I said before think yourself like a little babies when we all step into meditation we all are like babies little babies who are learning how to walk okay so think of a baby we are not forcing the baby to walk okay we're not forcing or we are not telling him to walk by force just we let them to walk okay we get we take a good time and we be gentle with them okay we guide them but we let them walk not we force them walk okay so it is much better to be gentle with yourself sometimes you may not feel or you may not see any progress while doing meditation but as long as you keep on doing it as long as you enjoy doing it every day trust me it will make a big progress in your life so be gentle with yourself while meditating so these are few mindsets and few things that we all have to develop while doing meditations so add these mindsets to your meditation and enjoy a happy and a peaceful meditation now High
