Benefits of Meditation

Allowing ourselves to release control initiates a state of complete awareness; disconnecting from thought.

It may feel like listening to empty sound, or constant internal chatter. But, with time, it becomes more than that as we continue taking intentional deep breaths.

Whether we choose to close our eyes while sitting Indian-style grounded on the floor, or standing still with our eyes open; in doing both we are practicing #meditation. Which is defined differently for everyone, as it has many variations.

One way for me, is through a silent prayer. Without words, my heart speaks, and my soul feels connected with the spirit of God. There is an instant calm and peaceful vibration that fills the room. The feeling is internal as it surpasses the flesh.

Sitting with electronics off allows the brain to capture the presence of frequency as stillness eludes us from the distraction of internal chatter.  

Another is Journaling, which is a favorite of mines as it allows the release of our inner thoughts. Especially the ones we may not be as comfortable speaking. Whether I'm writing it out, or sitting in nature listening to the birds chirp, I use this as a time to be still, and focus simply on gratitude for breath, and allowing time for RESET. I release what is right now, and recenter myself with that #awareness.

Finding a way to release in any form is essential to our health and overall wellness for the mind and body.

Take a moment to listen to the vibration of the space. The frequency of things around you will start to sound louder, yet soothing as it begins to drown out the noise the brain attempts to fill. Close your eyes, and take a few (intentional) deep breaths before opening them.

Repeat Daily as necessary.

The practice of "Breathwork" has many great health benefits as well, including balancing blood pressure, improving circulation, building stronger respiratory function, releasing stress hormones from the body, as well as shifting in positive feelings and gently reducing functioning habits relating to PTSD, anxiety, depression and/or trauma.

By releasing toxins, it helps with managing pain, and can ultimately improve our mood, self-esteem and overall mental health. Deep breathing allows time for mindfulness, and serves as a gentle nudge to bring our attention back to the present moment. If you can, set a short timer at least once every three to four hours as a minimal practice of awareness.

I promise, It helps!
