Dear doctor, kindly let me know in what way I should do relaxation. I am doing meditation daily for about 10-15 minutes but this is not bringing me any result. I had also consulted psychiatrist who has adv me to take serlift 50 in the morning along with betacap tr 40 and mirtaz 7-5 mg during night at about 9.00 pm. I am on rx since 4-5 months.

Hello user, meditation is a process. It takes long time. It vary person to person. Before meditation you should do pranayam or deep breathing for at least 5-10 minutes. During the meditation whatever thoughts come, let them come. Gradually unnecessary thoughts will stop and you will be able to concentrate on a particular thing. For the relaxation you should indulge yourself in your favourite activities. Whatever you like and whatever you missed in your life. This time brings you the opportunity to live life happily and do your left work.

You may try breathing exercises for relaxation. There are so many types of breathing exercises you can practice them regularly. Some yoga poses are also beneficial for you. Meditation needs practice. A daily practice will provide the most benefits. Whatever form of meditation you choose, awareness of the present moment is key. When you meditate, you train in being aware of whatever object of meditation you?ve chosen. There will be distractions in the form of sounds, odors, sensations of discomfort, tension, itching, etc. In addition, there will be distractions that your mind will produce all on its own: to-do lists, things you should have done or said, things you plan to do or say, emotions, daydreams? the list is endless. To help the mind stay focused on the here and now, one of the best ways to meditate at home is to focus on the process of breathing. Be very aware of your respiration as you inhale and exhale; use the breath as an anchor for your mind. When those distracting thoughts pop into your head, simply acknowledge their presence and go back to focusing on the breath. Alternatively, you can use physical sensations, sound, or a visual object as the�focus of your meditation. Forget about ?emptying the mind.? noticing and coming back is what meditation is all about. For further assistance feel free to contact me or any other psychologist.
