Meditation is about being present in the moment and stilling the mind
of endless chatter. It’s about being completely absorbed, focused and
unaware of time.
Here are a few of many simple ways to enjoy a meditative state:
- Close your eyes and feel the breath on each inhale and exhale
- Inhale slowly and deeply; exhale slowly and completely
- Feel the ball of your foot and heel strike the ground as you walk mindfully
- Inhale what you want in your life; Exhale what you’d like to let go of
- Dance and/or sing along to your favorite music…like no one is watching
- Focus on nature: the garden, trees, flowers, birds, animals, sky, or water
- Watch the flame of a candle or small fire burn in a pit or fireplace
- Practice gentle yoga…find a class you love and DVD for home practice
- Follow your passion…whatever focuses and fulfills you
