• First I would like to focus on Meditation for the beginners. I will list some simple steps to start Meditation.
• Sit at any place that you find it comfortable, just make sure that you sit straight in a relaxed posture. Keep your hands upwards right on your lap with your eyes closed.
• Now, slowly look into your body by scanning through, take out any thoughts that are restricting your focus. I’m sure you will take a few attempts to follow this practice of meditation without any hindrance. But slowly you will get through it smoothly.
• Initially in the process of gaining concentration of your mind, you will face a few distractions. Gradually, you will learn how to make your mind relaxed by overcoming all cluttered thoughts which can trap your mind at some point.
• No matter what kind of tensions you are going through, meditation will release you from all the kinds of stress. Tell yourself that you have to free your mind with all the negative thoughts, and you will win over all the depressive thoughts that don’t allow you to have peace of mind.
• Once you are in a fully relaxed frame of mind, you are all set to follow the next step of meditation. Tell yourself that you are strong enough to go through any hurdle in your life. As Life is full of obstacles and challenges, all you need is the will power and the right approach to deal with the problems.
• The most important exercise of meditation is the concentration exercise. Mostly, people take 10- 15   classes to gain focus by tackling different kinds of mundane thoughts that will block your mind.
• Many people give up in the first few classes because they don’t really comprehend the right technique of meditation. So if you don’t get it right in the first few times, don’t be hard on yourself. Just give yourself some time to discover the art of meditation.
• Once you realize the beauty of life you will discern that half of the battle is already won. I believe that every individual has the power to inspire themselves. Give yourself the freedom to scan your soul, mind and heart.

• Gain focus on your breath, feel your breath as it moves from your nose and comes out of the mouth. In order to gain a peaceful concentration of mind, you can play soothing music, light candles around you, feel the moment of sunrise or the sound of the river.
• In the next post I will share some more steps of Meditation. Till then Happy Living!

• I have been practicing Meditation for over few months. Initially, I didn’t notice any benefits of Mediation, because I was not familiar with the right techniques of Meditation. Later on I thought of doing a bit of research to discover the basic essentials of Meditation. It took me over a month to get the insight of various techniques of Meditation.
• Finally, I have realized that how Meditation can actually change your life by uplifting your spirit. Needless to say, that Meditation has attracted millions of people. Earlier it was considered as just a religious kind of activity. But for the last many years people have shown interest from all over the world. Whether it’s a common man or great celebrities like Sting or Madonna.

Some people want to do it to gain a self control on themselves; some want to overcome the day to day stress level which we all experience in life and some wants to gain an immense urge to realize the meaning of their existence.
• For me Meditation is a way to realize that Who I am? – What I don’t want to be ?– What I want to be? And mot of all How I Feel about “ The Way I am or The way I live my life” So if you also feel the way I feel then don’t hesitate to discover the benefits of meditation. Let’s find the best techniques to purify our minds with the help of Meditation.
• In the next post I will share my experience on how meditation helps in identifying your strengths and weaknesses.

The only key to keep your mind and body fit is to include some of the important food choices in your daily routine

It’s very important to know the best Diet plan for your healthy mind and body.  Invite Happiness With The best Diet(Nutrition) Plan

Following are the best diet plan which you can easily stick to all through your life. There are so many diet and fitness plan available online which helps you on how to plan a healthy nutrition. But you can’t stick to those plans forever. Therefore, it’s recommended to choose a smart diet plan which is easier to adopt in your day to day life.

• Never skip your breakfast. It’s a common saying that [Eat your breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar] It implies that your heaviest meal should be in the morning [this allows your body to digest all the calories in the whole day] a bit lighter in the afternoon and dinner should be the lightest one. Eat dinner before 3 hours of sleeping.

• Don’t stuff yourself with heavy meals. Smaller portion of food are recommended to provide your body enough energy all through the day. The trick is not to starve your self to loose weight. The only way to reduce weight is to introduce smart way of eating in your daily routine.

• Stick to wheat bread instead of white bread.

• Don’t forget to give a kick start to your body by playing your favorite sports. Indulging in your favorite sports will be so much fun especially for those people who find gym exercising quite boring.

• Experiment with baked and grilled food rather than fried food. Research suggests that fried food is not a healthy option. It not only takes away the nutritious value of the food but also adds loads of calories to it.

• Say a BIG No to whole milk. There are different percentages of toned milk available in the market so switch to double toned milk.

• If you feel like having some desserts then try sharing it with your friends. This way you are eating less calories, not curbing your temptations and your friends will also enjoy sharing with you.

• Always include a small portion of salad and fruits in your meals. Preferably, eat fruits and salads before starting your meal.

• • Needless to say, fruits and vegetables juice are really good to have. But don’t grab a pack of juice which has preservatives and added sugar (though all the companies claim they don’t add). Always go for fresh juices.

  • I personally love Non- Veg Food. But I do like to eat green vegetables also. Don’t just stick to Non Veg food all the time. It’s advisable to strike a balance between the two.

  • Experiment with different kinds of healthy food. Once you start enjoying various varieties of food then you will start enjoying cooking at home. When you cook the meal it becomes easier to count the calorie intake by knowing what all ingredients you are adding to your recipe.

  • Never Go Over Board With Alcohol. I personally don’t think that Alcohol is bad – but at the same time I believe anything over its limit is dangerous. Thus, try to limit the intake of alcohol. There is enough evidence to prove that too much of alcohol and smoking lead to health hazards. Hence, guzzling 2-3 can of bears in a week is perfectly fine. And don’t forget to Enjoy Good Wine.

  • The utmost important factor is your “Tolerance Level”. In order to follow a healthy diet plan you need to practice will power. Meditation can really be helpful in gaining control over your temptations.
