Great men throughout ages practise meditating during sunset. If you do this meditation, you can improve your personal cosmics. Here are tips to make sunset meditation easy.
1. As sunset time approaches get ready, wash your face and feet and then drink little water. Do some breathing exercise just before you start your meditation. For sunset meditation air is key element.
2. Generally, the sunset meditation starts in fixed time duration wherein sunset takes place. For example, if sunset time is at 6.30 p.m., then select time slot of 6.00 to 7.00 p.m. In countries in the equatorial region sunset takes place somewhere around this time. As a convention, Buddhist priests chant their mantras during this time span. You can select a slot of 30 or 60 minutes for this purpose.
3. Although there is no specific place recommended convention dictates that you either sit inside house or outside in a garden.
4. There is no special posture or position required. You can sit, stand or walk about during meditation.
5. Relaxation is the key for meditation. You must relax your body, head to foot and your mind. A misconception is that, if you are walking, you cannot relax. Heartbeat and mind beat are not one and the same.
6. It is better to face your cosmic direction, failing which West or North.
7. Focus and concentration is only a by- product of your meditation. If you do meditate for a considerable period, you tend to develop focus and concentration. There is no need to split your hairs to focus on an object or condition your mind. Let it come spontaneously.
8. Always, attach yourself to this world. Do not try to become an ascetic. There is no need for you to deny yourself worldly pleasure. Meditation, of course builds up self-discipline that might contribute to self-denial of pleasure and self-control over internal and external pressure.
9. Incantation of mantra, chant, hymn and a group of words is an excellent idea. If you wish, you can chant a chosen mantra 108 times or multiples of number 9 in any combination.
10. Finally, as you conclude your meditation, once again do some breathing exercises and thereafter drink little water and have few snacks if you feel so.
Keep in touch.
