Meditation

Meditation is a mental state where one attempts to get beyond the conditioned, “thinking” mind into a deeper state of relaxation or awareness. At the core of meditation, the goal is to focus and eventually quiet your mind. As you progress, you will find that you can meditate anywhere and at any time, accessing an inner calm no matter what’s going on around you.

There are many different meditation methods.

Purpose

Meditation is a great way to relax and create emotional and spiritual well being. Give yourself permission to be peaceful. You deserve it as much as you deserve to eat, sleep or breathe. It’s a part of who you are.
Make mediation enjoyable, something to look forward for. Put a little smile on your face to remind yourself to be happy. Smile with your heart, eyes and mind. If it doesn’t go the way you want it to go, just laugh at how silly your mind is.

Be aware that circumstances will arise in your life. It is up to you if you decide to follow through with your commitment to meditate. As a meditation in itself, notice when and why you decide to meditate anyway. Notice when and why you decide to skip meditation. Identify the reasons and write them down. Find solutions and change what you can change. There is no need to judge yourself. Simply notice and learn.
