The Youthful Older Yogi
Meditation Made Easy
Send a text and share your thoughts. We want to hear from you!
In this episode I'll share with you a simple way to start a meditation practice.
No need to sit for a long period of time, trust me that will suck if you're new to meditation.
Just 10-12 inhales and exhales can do wonders.
You start to tame and train you mind.
Meditation is just that, you become the tamer and trainer of your mind.
It's simple but it may not feel easy as your mind isn't used to being told what to do!
"Monkey Mind" is a concept used to describe how your mind jumps from thought to thought. The mind is restless, chaotic and easily distracted with thoughts swinging wildly in different directions.
Sound familiar?
Remember Curious George--always causing trouble?
'Monkey Mind" can detract us from work, relationships and quality of life.
Meditation provides calm redirection.
You watch.
You breathe.
You pay attention.
With practice you notice a shift. You wean your mind away from distractions.
You train your brain to focus on one thing at a time.
Try the short finger touch method of observing your breath in this episode.
It only takes one minute!
Everyone can find one minute to
Pause.....Breathe.....and Watch.
