Meditation helps reduce stress, headaches, negative thinking, improves sleep. It unites the body with the mind, and teaches us to focus on the moment. It brings an all over sense of well being as well.

Necessary Things: Patience, Place of serenity, Comfortable clothing

*following a long day, find something at ease to wear. Prepare to relax. Light some candles maybe turn the lights low. Find a at ease place to sit, preferably on the floor using a meditation cushion; you can get this on any yoga site. Make sure you turn your cell phone off, put the volume on your answering machine down, the last thing you want is to be troubled when you are in a state of tranquility. Find a room in the house where you can be alone. Shut the door and prepare for your meditation.

*Light incense. I love to meditate while sage is burning the scent is clean and calming. Sit with your legs crossed. Draw your shoulders down away from your ears. Lift through the top of your head with your spine as the crow flies. Rest the back of your hands upon each knee. Close your eyes. Begin to focus on your breath. A lot of people are not aware that the breath can be used as a tool for good health and over all well being. In addition to reassuring the mind, it helps to rid toxins and decrease anxiety.

As you breathe in, allow the belly to rise, as if it were filling up like a balloon, as you exhale, draw the belly in. After a few deep breaths, just allow yourself to focus on the moment.

*Thought takes practice. Don’t be discouraged if your find yourself thinking about something else. It’s natural. We are broken in to be distracted. When this happens, just go back to where you were when you first started. Try to find the begin of the breath and the end of your breath.

You will find that the stress seems to leave you, and now you should have allowed a good 20 minutes go by and have a lot more power and as you feel less exhausted and ready for a good night’s sleep.
