The goal of meditation is to focus on your mind, body, and spirit in each very moment. It is a vital tool to relaxation and ridding off bad energy. We're surrounded by all kinds of environments everyday, good or bad. It can get chaotic not to mention exhausting! The words you hear from other people around you can create harmful emotions like jealousy or anger. Meditation is your time to just be at peace with yourself. It makes your body feel full of oxygen and less filled with depression, anxiety, or negative emotions.
If you've never tried it before, you really should! To some, it might sound silly, but I have had such a great success with it!
Here's just a quick list of tips for any newbies:
- Sit or lay down in a quiet room or out in nature (No TV or phone!)
- Keep the lights on or dimmed low
- DON'T fall asleep! The key is to become in a complete state of relaxation with a clear mind
- Begin by breathing deeply, eyes closed
- Relax every muscle in your body, starting from you toes up to your head
- Think in your head "Breathe in, breathe out"
- If any other thoughts come into your mind, let them pass, then begin again with "breathe in, breathe out." It takes practice and discipline! Don't get discouraged if your not 'perfect.'
- Set a 15-30 minute window in your schedule everyday.
