3. It gets you in touch with your body
Doing yoga on a regular basis will really get you to be much more in tune with your body and know when something is really working and when it isn’t.

Meditatiooooooon ... zzzzz ....
Isn’t necessarily sitting with a bowl of incense and working your way through a book of Tibetan chants in a darkened, candlelit room–rather, you can meditate anywhere quiet and at absolutely any time you like. All it takes is five minutes with some alone time and peace and quiet. Meditation improves your quality of life by allowing your mind some time to process everything that goes on in your life.

Benefits of basic meditation include stress reduction, sharpened concentration, and improved circulation. Once you begin to practice, you'll soon experience a quieter mind, a more open heart and a sense of inner freedom.
Interested in basic meditation but don't know how to start? Here are 5 easy tips for beginners. Remember all you need is 5 to 10 minutes a day to get started with meditation: |
1. Be comfortable in a quiet place
Find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed. To get started, it doesn't matter whether you sit or lay down as long as you are comfortable.

2. Become "present"
Become totally aware of your current surroundings. What do you hear? How does it feel to sit? Do you feel tension? Where are your thoughts?

3. Focus on your breath
As you take long and deep breaths, feel your breath move from your lungs and out through your nostrils. Your mind will wonder, just try your best to be as focused as possible. 4. Feel your body
Once you're focused, take notice of your body and how each body part feels. Start with the toes and work your way up to your head. 5. Practice, practice, practice!
Like anything, practice makes perfect. You'll hopefully find all your practice totally worth it as meditation can be life-changing! |
