Meditation is a means of transforming the mind.  It encourages and develops concentration, clarity, emotional positivity and a calm seeing of the true nature of things. You can learn the patterns and habits of your mind, and meditation practice offers a way to cultivate new, more positive ways of being.

How to do it?

Set up a session with me to learn how easy it is to start meditating!    If you want to give it a try on your own, here’s some tips:

Set up your meditation posture in a way that is relaxed, but upright.  Usually sitting on a cushion with crossed legs.  If that’s not comfortable, kneel or sit in a chair.  Then, close your eyes, relax and tune into how you are feeling.  Take some time here.  Slow down.

• Establish a daily practice – try for 15 minutes, but 5 or 10 will work to start.
• Try to begin your day with meditation, but any time of the day will work.
• Give and receive energy – have awareness of this.  Keep your palms up and open.
• Use candles or music to help establish your attention.
• Try counting the length of your inhale, then the length of your exhale.  This will help to slow down the mind.
• Surrender your thoughts.  Just let them go.  Another will come in right behind it, just continue to let them go.  Imagine your thoughts as clouds in the sky – just watch them float by.
• Take it easy, just let it happen 🙂
