You Guided Meditation
You Guided Meditation
Have you ever heard of a “You Guided Meditation”?
It’s ultimately a meditation session where all you need is the tools you already have in your head!
Meditation is about finding a mindful practice to help relieve stress, exercise the brain, find peace, and to create a quiet moment for yourself.
To start your meditation practice, you will want to set a routine, even if you are starting with just a few minutes a day, the best way to do that is to choose a good time when you can take a few moments to yourself to find a quiet, relaxing spot, and to follow these steps:
Set Your Intention: prepare yourself to connect, relax, or decompress. Whatever your reason for choosing meditation, this is what you want to come to the practice with.
Relax the Body: find a comfortable seated position and sit with your eyes closed. You’ll want to begin to focus on your breath, and how it is coming in and out of the body as you breathe.
Move through your body in your mind and take note of any tension or pain: when you come to this area, stop for a moment and focus on sending your breath to that area.
Come Back to the Body: if you find your mind wandering, that’s okay. Just keep bringing your thoughts back to your breath until the end of your meditation.
This is not going to be easy at first, but the benefits of meditation make it worth it to keep on trying. It does get easier!
