Things About Meditation

1. Healing Anxiety

Many of us suffer from anxiety and fears, where our nervous system remains alert despite no immediate danger. Meditation calms the parasympathetic nervous system, signaling safety to the body. This reset allows stillness and focus on breathing, training us to observe and detach from negative thoughts in daily life.

2. Flow of Energy Through Your Body

Our emotions are energies often blocked from past experiences, causing stress and anxious thoughts. Meditation helps release these blockages, facilitating emotional flow and reducing anxiety.

3. Expanding Awareness

Meditation opens doors to insights and realizations by tuning into inner voices, emotions, and body sensations. It expands awareness, fostering personal growth and healing.

How to Actually Meditate

1. Sitting in Stillness

• Posture: Sit comfortably on the floor, cross-legged, with a straight spine.
• Environment: Use background music (nature sounds are ideal) to dissociate from the outer world.
• Focus: Begin with deep inhales and longer exhales. Observe thoughts without engagement, refocusing on breath.
• Tools: Keep a journal nearby for insights or inspirations that arise.

2. Semi-Active Meditation (Yoga)

• Practice: Engage in yoga, syncing breath with movement and focusing on bodily sensations.
• Mindfulness: Redirect thoughts to the present moment, staying attuned to breath and body.

3. Active Meditation

• Activities: Run or walk with rhythmic breathing, maintaining mindfulness of the body and surroundings.
• Focus: Avoid distractions, returning awareness to breath and physical movement.

Additional Tips

• Meditation isn't about silencing the mind but redirecting focus to the present.
• Use meditation for inspiration, inner peace, and spiritual connection.
• Express gratitude or connect with higher consciousness during sessions.
