Color of the day: Scarlet Incense of the day: Ginger Emptying the mind completely is very difficult for most people, so even though it's a famous method of meditation, it's not always the best choice. Everyone breathes, so breath meditation is an excellent starting point. Begin by noticing your breath. Concentrate on the sound of air moving. Feel what part of your body expands and contracts with each breath. Ideally your belly should move-that's deep breathing. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth, counting each breath as you do so. Imagine ten breaths filling your root chakra. Then do ten breaths for your sacral chakra. Continue up to the crown chakra. Complete your meditation with a good stretch. |
