Loosen tight-fitting clothing as much as possible

Tight shirts, blouses or pants can hinder the circulation in certain areas of the body. If you want to learn to meditate, you should therefore loosen your clothes or wear something comfortable. This ensures that every part of the body is better supplied with blood and oxygen.

Learning to meditate - but not on a full stomach

After eating, it can happen that you simply fall asleep. So wait two hours after your last meal before you start your meditation exercises. Sit in a relaxed but very upright position. It sounds simple, but it's important: a straight posture, such as sitting cross-legged, makes it easier for air to flow into the lungs and the body absorbs oxygen more quickly. Sitting up straight, in combination with occasional movement to change your posture, also prevents our number one widespread disease: the dreaded back pain.

Take a few deep breaths in and out

Breathing in deeply through the nostrils calms the nervous system and helps the mind and body to come into harmony. Exhausting the volume of your lungs by breathing in and out deeply will leave you feeling refreshed.

Smile relaxed and enjoy the time

Smiling causes the body to release happiness hormones. In fact, even an imitation smile has the same effect. And: you should see meditation as a way of taking time out and enjoying it.

Learn to meditate: close your eyes, let your thoughts wander

Experts recommend ten minutes of meditation every day. Sit down, close your eyes, breathe calmly and don't brood. Let your thoughts flow and send them away.
