If you wanted to start with meditation, what would be a good starting point? Reading certains books or using an app? I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the options
Find a quiet place where you can be undisturbed, sit comfortably and close your eyes.
Breathe in, then breathe out.
Focus on your breathing.
In, and out.
Eventually your mind will wander somewhere else, that is normal and expected. Just bring it back to focusing on breathing.
In and out again.
Feel the air as it fills your lungs, feel what it is like to hold it in, and concentrate on what you feel as you let it out.
You're basically just training your mind to focus on one thing and to be mindful.
Rince repeat as much as you like, I enjoy putting on a timer for 10 minutes, but really you do as you feel is good for you.
The most important thing to know is that there is no being "good" at meditating or not getting "it", you're either meditating or not meditating.
Thats a great and easy way to get started in my opinion.
Pretty much that. :)
Thank you! I'm going to try that :)
I've been taught this zillions of times, including years of in-depth yoga classes and groups at the medical center, I'm telling you meditation just sounds a lot like sleeping to me. It's not hard. we all do it anyway 🤷🏻♀️
