To focus your breathing before meditation, practice deep and even breathing.

To prepare your space for meditaion, dim the lights, light a candle and diffuse grounding essential oils like sandalwood, frankincense and cedarwood.

To find a comfortable meditative position, either cross your legs into a lotus position or simply sit in a chair or on a cushion.

My thoughts are very external and irritating sounds bother me. I am trying to deal with the methadone that is gone from my system.  April 1 I was clean of narcotics. 20 years.  My body and mind are rebellious to this new state of mind and body. I need to regroup and re charge myself.

I agree in these suggestions because I’ve noticed a difference in my meditation when I prepare my area. It helps to set the intention and make the session to be pleasurable and focused.

I needed to be reminded of removing distractions.  I don’t always do that.
