Guaranteed to calm your thoughts
At this time of year it is easy to feel a bit dispirited by the dark days and colder weather. If you want to put the pep back into your step you may want to try meditating. It’s been around for a long time, so there’s definitely something in it. It aims to train your mind to achieve clarity, soothe the spirit and enrich your emotional life.
Most of your mental activity distracts you from knowing how you actually feel and what’s going on inside you. Meditation slices through the fog and helps you feel centred and in touch with who and where you are.
It can take a while to train your brain to meditate however, it’s worth persisting as you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the results… Try it at any time when you will not be disturbed, first for one minute, then build up to ten.
• Sit in an upright and comfortable way
• Scan your body to check you are relaxed – your toes, feet, legs, tummy, arms and hands, shoulders, jaw and eyes.
• Become aware of your breath in and out
• Continue to focus on the gentle rise and fall of your chest as you breathe in and out
• When your mind starts to wander – and it will – just acknowledge that you have lost contact with your breath and watch the next inhalation
• The more you do it the more you’ll have the experience of that ‘pause’ when the mind is fully present which refreshes you.
Remember to Enjoy the Process and if you're not then congratulate yourself for giving it a go and try something else. What works for one person may not work for you so it's all about exploring options and finding something to suit you. I have a toolkit of resources that I can call upon at anytime. Things I have developed over the past 20 years and I am sharing those with you in my membership site about to be launched soon.
