We have all wished each other on this wonderful occasion of lights and celebrations. Now you can also share your wishes, joy and gratefulness in a different way.. by trying this 10 step "Bright Diwali Meditation", which we have especially created for you all, this Diwali ...(it looks long but once you go through it, you will find it fairly simple to remember and do. Do read it)

1. Sit cross legged with your spine erect but body relaxed. Keep your palms relaxed, facing upwards. Rest them on your thighs or knees. (You can also sit on a chair but don't rest your back. Keep your feet flat on the floor and knees at 90 degrees)

2. With your eyes gently closed, get your attention to your nostrils and watch your breath go in and out. Do this for 1-2 mins to relax yourself or do it till your breath becomes calm.

3. Then take one more slow deep breath and with your eyes still closed, lift your gaze up and get your attention between your eyebrows. Don't exert any pressure on your eyes and if you are not able to focus.. slightly pinch the skin in the middle of the eyebrows to start.
