• Meditation should be ideally performed early in the morning so as to ensure that you can maximum peace and tranquillity around you.

• Be sure to devote a few minutes of your time daily to meditate at a specific time.

• Once you have mastered the technique, you can gradually increase the number of minutes of focussed meditation.

• Whichever position that you choose to take as per your comfort, be sure to sit upright without slouching.

• Visualization does not entail that you pretend to see the desired object or strain yourself too much. Let it gradually appear before your eyes.

• Initially, you may take the help of a timer or a clock to keep track of the time, but you will gradually phase out of it.

• Even if there are several distractions around you, try to overlook them and continue with your practice.

• While reaching the end of your meditation period, do not jolt yourself back to awareness. Come to it through a transition time.
