When we meditate, we inject far-reaching and long-lasting benefits into our lives:
We lower our stress levels, we get to know our pain, we connect better, we improve our focus, and we're kinder to ourselves.
Meditation is simpler (and harder) than most people think. Read these steps,
make sure you’re somewhere where you can relax into this process, set a timer, and give it a shot:
1. Take a seat
2. Set a time limit
3. Notice your body
4. Feel your breath
5. Notice when your mind has wandered
6. Be kind to your wandering mind
7. Close with kindness
That’s it! That’s the practice.
You go away, you come back, and you try to do it as kindly as possible.
