Many people find this difficult to do. Why? Because they tell me they can’t turn their thinking off. Meditation is not sitting in the lotus position on the top of a mountain 🙂 All it is, is the process of absolute being, where one’s mind focuses on the entirety of the moment, without actively requiring the mind to be productive, other than to connect to the essence of what is.
What is the one thing you find yourself totally being in the moment and not thinking of about a million and one things that usually clutter up your day? is it lying under a tree? is it sitting in a bath with relaxing music? is it gardening? is it watching the ocean? is it fishing? is it strolling in a park? Meditation can be so many things. So whatever keeps you in the moment then that’s what you need to do a little of each day.
I start my Reiki healings with some mindful breathing and releasing techniques to start the session off and to bring the client into the space.
