Give Yourself the Gift of Meditation

GIVE YOURSELF THE GIFT OF MEDITATION Meditation is the turning inward of one's attention. There are many types of meditation. We are going to focus on the most simple form, which involves focusing on our breath. Meditation Made Simple 1 When you are ready, close your eyes and breathe. Follow your breath in through your nose. Feel it enter your body and fill your lungs and belly. You may choose to place your hands on your low belly, feeling the expansion. You could alternately rest your hands, palms facing upward on your thighs. Make it Priority Many times we have the "not enough time" or "I'm too busy" excuse. Put those aside, and just begin by sitting for a few minutes. Literally, a few minutes can be transformative. If this is your first time meditating start by meditating for 5 minute a day. Do it PRIORITY EVERYDAY! EAT. SLEEP MEDITATE. REPEAT. Repeat 3 Meditation is not a "one and done" activity, it is something we need to practice daily. Even multiple times a day. Once you make this a priority in your life and begin to feel its benefits, it will begin to be something you look forward to. Meditation and Our Daily Life 4. Meditation is not an isolated event. Meditation practice is a time we set aside to practice tapping into our inner stillness so that we can know how to access that space more easily in our everyday lives. Let go of Perfection This is not about perfection. Sometimes we get the idea in our head that once I master this, then I will somehow be the perfect human being. Part of our being human is that we are perfectly imperfect. We are here to learn and grow. Infographics Designed By: Soul Care Mom
