Meditation for students....

Five easy steps of meditation for students:-

1. Commit to just two minutes a day: Start simply if you want the habit to stick. You can do it for five minutes if you feel good about it, but all you're committing to is two minutes each day.
2. Pick a time and trigger: Not an exact time of day, but a general time, like morning when you wake up, or during your lunch hour. "The trigger should be something you already do regularly, like drink your first cup of coffee, brush your teeth, have lunch, or arrive home from work," says Babauta.
3. Find a quiet spot: Sometimes early morning is best, before others in your house might beawake and making lots of noise. Others might find a spot in a park or on the beach or some other soothing setting. It really doesn't matter where — as long as you can sit without being bothered for a few minutes.
4. Sit comfortably: Don't fuss too much about how you sit, what you wear, what you sit on, etc. "I personally like to sit on a pillow on the floor, with my back leaning against a wall, because I'm very inflexible. Others who can sit cross-legged comfortably might do that instead," says Babauta. If you find sitting on the floor uncomfortable, try a chair or couch.
5. Focus on your breath: As you breathe in, follow your breath in through your nostrils, then into your throat, then into your lungs and belly. Sit straight, keep your eyes open but looking at the ground and with a soft focus. If you want to close your eyes, that's fine. As you breathe out, follow your breath out back into the world. If it helps, count ... one breathe in, two breathe out, three breathe in, four breathe out ... when you get to 10, start over. Says Babauta, "If you find your mind wandering (and you will), just pay attention to your mind wandering, then bring it gently back to your breath." Repeat this process for the few minutes you meditate. It will become a regular habit in a matter of days.
