Here are the steps:

Step 1: Stop Distractions.
You will need to be alone in a quiet, private place. It is important to stop all distractions and make your mind clearer and more lucid. To accomplish this sit in a comfortable position (try the classic cross-legged posture, it works wonders for most people). The key is to keep your back straight. Close your eyes for a while and start breathing. Breath naturally through your nostrils. Don't attempt to control your breath, just try to become aware of the sensation of the breath as you inhale and exhale.

Step 2: Keep the feelingr
Concentrate on this breathing sensation as much as you can. Try not to think of anything else. If you are inexperienced this will not be easy at first but the more you do it, the better you become at it! You will encounter dozens of different thoughts that aim to distract you. Don't be tempted. Stay focused on the sensation of your breath. When you discover that your mind is following thoughts of distraction, immediately return it to the breath. Practice that as much as you can. Finally, the distracting thoughts will subside and you will encounter a feeling of peace and relaxation. Try to keep that feeling for as long as possible.

When you are done, feel refreshed and ready to face the challenges of life. Do this at least 10-15 minutes a day and notice your progress every time. Gradually, your mind will become more lucid and spacious. You will be able to reduce stress and solve your usual every day problems and issues. Other people will feel the change inside you and will start to interact better. This way your relationships will improve. This simple yet powerful meditation exercise can also do miracles in your love life especially if it is performed by both you and your soulmate.

Tips: If you want to add more magic to the meditation process you can use a candle and an incense stick. Carefully light the candle and the incense stick before you start the exercise and extinguish them when you are done. You can look at the
flame of the candle while trying to send distractive thoughts away. The incense stick will fill your space with countless spirits and entities.
