MEDITATION FACTORS 4 of 6


One needs a quiet environment especially if one is a beginner to avoid destruction.

A mental device is any sound that one continuously repeats mentally as a focus of attention. If one's eyes are open, he can focus on a single object in front of him such as a candle light or spot on the wall.

A passive attitude is the most important and perhaps the most difficult factor to achieve. It means one has to let go of worries or concerns and allows things just to happen without trying to control or analyze them.

Be aware, one need not sit in the lotus posture of a yogi to achieve the meditation state or relaxation response. What is important is to find a position that is comfortable to you.
