2. Meditate in Dark
There is something great that happens when we spend time in the dark.

Darkness also helps to reduce the number of thoughts. So how to properly meditate in the dark?
Steps-
Step 1- Turn off the lights before you go to sleep or just after you wake up.
Step 2- Make sure you are alone & don't use gadgets.
Step 3- Light a candle & focus on moving flame.
In darkness, we can find stillness.
