How to meditate?

Basically, if you want to learn meditation or get an orthodox place to study, self-study is very difficult. However, I have read about the basic preparation before meditation in the book of Zen master Wu Jue Tian Miao, which can be summarized into five parts:

1. Diet adjustment: the diet is appropriate and regular. Don't eat too much before meditation. Eating too much is easy to doze off, don't eat too little, it will lead to insufficient nutrition and mental weakness, so it is best to eat five or six points full.

2. Sleep regulation: Sleepiness or insomnia can easily lead to delusions and make people unable to concentrate, so it is best to fall asleep before midnight, and six or seven hours of sleep is enough.

3. Adjust your body: "Walk like the wind, stand like a pine, sit like a clock, and lie like a bow." Correct posture can make your blood gas smooth, but also keep your body and mind clean, not impetuous, which is helpful for meditation.

4. Adjust the mentality: The most important thing is to practice more concentration in peacetime, so that the heart will not be scattered and the spiritual energy will not be wasted.

5. Breathing: Breathing, from rough training to soft and long, and changing the way of breathing, from chest breathing to abdominal breathing.
