I began my meditation journey almost ten years ago. As a mother of five I found it challenging to stay committed to the different rules or rituals of different meditation techniques. I decided to focus on what was important to me love, liberty, and happiness! I like to keep it simple.
Three simple steps to meditation. Awareness, Breathing, Connection. Awareness of mind, body, and spirit. Breathing in slowly while relaxing your mind, rejuvenating your body and refreshing to your spirit. Connection to mind, body, and spirit. Meditation is as easy as ABC. Allowing your mind, body, and spirit to become relaxed, rejuvenated, and refreshed!
What is meditation?
Becoming aware of the 'self'. Allowing yourself to becoming aware of the moment, releasing judgment about yourself and others, relaxing body and letting go of any stress, negativity, and control. There are several different types of meditation to choose from. Such as Mindfulness, Transcendental, Guided, Kundalini, Qi gong, and trance based. I have tried several types but I find that the best way for me is Awareness, Breathing, and Connection.
How to meditate?
1. Awareness become aware of your mind and it's ability to think, understand, reason, and remember. Be present at this moment and decide to meditate. Bring your awareness to your body and it's capability taste, touch, smell, hear, see and maintain without your assistance. Then notice your awareness of your spirit and it's unlimited unbounded potential to create life.
