Meditation Is Not For Me...Or Is It?

So you believe meditation is not for you. Your mind wanders, you can’t sit still, and you’re just too busy to take time away from your day. Who has time to gaze at their belly making strange noises, anyway? You might be surprised to learn that there are several different forms of meditation. One will probably be a fit for you.

Why would you want to try meditation?

Studies show that meditation changes the way you feel, the way you think, and how your brain works. It can have a positive effect on your health by lowering stress and anxiety. In some cases, it has lowered blood pressure and helped with chronic pain.

I offer you four different types of meditation in an attempt to find the one that is right for you.

1. Mindfulness meditation:

Currently, mindfulness meditation Is very popular in our culture. It is the practice of intentionally focusing on the present moment, being aware of your feelings, thoughts and body sensations, and doing so in an accepting and non-judgmental manner.

Mindfulness meditation can be done anywhere in an informal way. Pay attention to the present moment, what you say, what is said to you and what you are doing. Some even consider mindful living to be a way of life.
