Meditation, the art of concentrating on your breath and thoughts, has been used around the world for thousands of years. The practice comes with a myriad of well-publicized health benefits including increased concentration, decreased anxiety, and a general feeling of happiness! Sounds great, right?!?
Start with the breath. Breathing deep slows the heart rate, relaxes the muscles, focuses the mind and is an ideal way to begin practice.
Notice frustration creep up on you. This is very common for beginners as we think “hey, what am I doing here” or “why can’t I just quiet my damn mind already”. When this happens, really focus in on your breath and let the frustrated feelings go.
Meditate early in the morning. Without a doubt, early morning is an ideal
time to practice: it is quieter, your mind is not filled with the usual clutter, and there is less chance you will be disturbed. Make it a habit to get up half an hour earlier to meditate.
Find a special piece of jewelry that your wear to remind you of your breath. Often times we are so rushed throughout our day, we forget to bring our attention to the present moment. Our prayer beads are a gentle reminder of the work you do to focus yourself and make each moment count.
