Relaxed State
You need to reach a very relaxed state before starting meditation. When you are not relaxed your whole meditation process could not be successful.
Close Your Eyes
After you reached the relaxed state, you then need to close your eyes. Closing your eyes aids mental focus in meditation. When your eyes are open, persons or things could distract and disturb your meditation.
Slow Breathing
Be aware of each breath that you take. Make sure to take a long, slow deep breath in and then exhale slowly. You could also count every breath for a few seconds. When you consciously breathe you will be amazed how soon you become relaxed.
Focus On One Thing
While you are at your working chair beside your desk, eyes closed and breathing slowly, you then try to focus only on one thing. It could be the noises that your co-workers make, the sounds of the music playing on your computer, or the laughter from your boss' office. It is perfectly normal if your focus drift but when you become aware of the drift, immediately try to bring the focus back.
No-worry
When meditating, try not to worry about your deadlines, problems, health issues, and other troubles that stress you out. You could even try not to think at all. This technique is similar to petit mal seizure where your mind goes blank but only for a short period of time. You will be surprised how you will feel light after just a few minutes of thinking about nothing.
Be happy and stay stress-free by exercising some meditation techniques while you are at work. Do these techniques ten minutes a day may it be during your lunch break or coffee break and see some results.
