Aloha Dear Friends,

Meditation is an ancient practice that has been used for thousands of years to calm the mind and achieve inner peace. It is a practice that involves focusing the mind on a particular object, sound, or the spaces inbetween the thoughts, in order to achieve a state of relaxation and mental clarity. Meditation has become increasingly popular in recent years as people have become more aware of the many benefits it offers

A relaxed body, in combination with proper breathing, can allow you to experience lower stress with improved oxygen levels and circulation. You can immediately increase your emotional stability and feelings of happiness by following this simple technique.

Mastering silence is a powerful tool you may enjoy adding to your daily routine. There are several techniques to prepare you for a meaningful meditation, such as yoga and breathing methods.

Preparing for Meditation

Here are a few things to do in preparation for getting the most out of meditating:

Have an empty stomach

Make sure you are in a quiet place where there are no distractions; meditate in silence

Sit in a comfortable position

I would recommend meditating  in the morning

Practice every day for at least 15 minutes

Light a candle or incense, and create your sacred space for you to go within.

Quick & Easy Meditation Technique

Start by sitting comfortably and making sure your spine is straight. Look downward and do not focus on anything.

Allow your eyelids to drop to a level that feels comfortable. Do not close your eyes.

Keep looking downward. Your breathing should become slower, deeper, and more relaxed.

Take a deep breath, breathing in from the stomach and not the chest; fill your lungs to capacity.

Exhale completely, compressing your stomach to expel all air from your lungs.

Now take four short breaths in rapid succession, again pulling air by breathing from your stomach.

Take another deep breath filling your lungs completely and hold it for a count of five seconds.

Repeat this sequence of one long and four short breaths five times.

With every exhale, be mindful of releasing all negative thoughts and feelings.

After the breathing exercise, I invite you to address every thought or emotion that pops into your mind. Acknowledge the thoughts and allow your body and mind to let any and all feelings flow through you.

Now quiet your mind, focus on the stillness, the silence, and stay only in this present moment.

After several minutes, return your eyes to their normal focus. You should be feeling more relaxed. Enjoy the journey.

By softening the mind and promoting relaxation and inner peace, meditation can help us to lead happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives. So why not give it a try? With regular practice, you may find that meditation becomes an invaluable tool for navigating life’s ups and downs with greater ease and grace.
