I've read about the many benefits of meditation but I'm not sure how I can incorporate it into my life. My body is too stiff for me to sit cross legged. I know there are sitting, standing, walking, and other forms of meditation; but in the past after a week or so I just stopped.
The best way must be to find something that will work for me. Mindfulness meditation seems promising.
Any ideas you would like to share?
As I know it, meditation is just a restful state of mind. It can be reached in different ways. Yes, you have to try a few to find the one that works *for you*. We do a form of meditation at the end of Yoga class. I would begin by thinking of a place and a position that you are very comfortable in - and go to that place for a certain amt of time each day (maybe 5 mins for the first few times, then 10 etc.)For me the place would be sitting on a cliff beside the ocean... but since I live in Texas, THAT would have to be in my mind's eye only.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the ideas Rian.
