Yoga Poses & Meditation ow to Meditate



Do you find yourself rushing from activity to activity, this job, that job, multi-tasking here and there? If that's you, meditation is a way to calm, rejuvenate and distress your life. Namaste. I'm Cindy Mastry and Willy and I are going to demonstrate how to meditate. Meditation is so good to clear your mind and allow new thoughts just to, allow yourself to just slow down and be, not be a human doing, but be a human being, just for a few moments everyday out of your life. And it's easy to do. You just find a comfortable seated position. You want to feel your pelvis rooting down into the core of the earth. You want to lengthen through your spine, lifting, lengthening out of the hips to the armpit, rolling your shoulders back and allowing your heart to expand. Lengthening up through the crown of the head and just allowing your eyes to soft and close. Now you may not be able to just completely clear your mind. I really don't know anyone who can. But, what you do is focus on your breath, just softly inhale and softly exhale, focusing on the breath, being aware of how the air feels as it touches your skin and how it enters through the ring around the nostrils and feels as it goes down into the deepest part of your lungs. And then feeling the air warm by your body as it returns. You become a participant in your thoughts, not a participant on your thoughts, but an observer of your thoughts rather than a participant of those thoughts. And just let yourself go. So a really great way to distress, calm your body, calm your mind after our stressful days of multi-tasking, is to come into a regular practice of Meditation. It's also a great way to start your day. Starting your day and ending your day will help you be a calmer person. Namaste.
