As we start to unwind from the year we hopefully can look forward to more time to relax.

Why not try to fit in a few meditation sessions this holiday?
Meditating doesn\u2019t have to feel overwhelming by setting aside long periods of time.

<\/p>

The benefits of meditating include:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Reducing pain, anxiety, depression and stress<\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Strengthens the immune system<\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Improves concentration and creativity<\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Decreases pain and blood pressure<\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Gives you clarity on your life purpose and helps in decision making<\/p>

How do I start?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Set aside only 3 minutes<\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Schedule the time around an activity like waking up, after breakfast, or at the end of the workday. You can set a quiet tone on your phone to keep track of time.<\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Choose a location where you feel comfortable and unlikely to be interrupted.<\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Get comfortable, you can sit, lie down, stand or walk.<\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Take deep breaths to focus on your breathing deeply. Some people count their breath, while others prefer to repeat a word to themselves (silently or aloud).<\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Be kind to yourself there is no wrong way to meditate, so be accepting of whatever happens, if you find your mind wandering bring it back to your breathing and how your body feels.<\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Pay attention to how your body feels from the scalp all the way down to your feet. Identify the area that feels relaxed or tense, and how you are holding your body.<\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Reflect \u2013 after meditating take a deep breath and think about how you feel. Do you feel different? Is your breathing slower? Are you more relaxed?<\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Figure out what works for you. A rich array of advice can be found about how to meditate. Take only what you find works for your daily routine.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Common Obstacles :<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Not enough time \u2013 but you only need 5 minutes<\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Don\u2019t know how \u2013 we’ll now you do!<\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Too stressed out \u2013 that\u2019s the perfect reason to begin<\/p>

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It’s not for me- most human cultures have mediated<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
