If you’ ve never meditated before, or you’ ve tried it and are looking for more information, you’ ve come to the right place! We’ re now going to discuss ten different meditation tips to help you in your meditative practice and journey!
Tip # 1: Include It In Your Daily Routine
Meditation works best when you make it part of your daily routine. Your brain loves developing habits and routines, and it will become more susceptible to and welcoming of meditation when you schedule it in.
Because we’ re all super busy, if you don’ t write meditation into your daily calendar or set a reminder for yourself, you may forget that you’ re trying to make this a part of your life, and skip meditation for days at a time! This will affect your ability to get used to the practice as well as its effectiveness.
Most people recommend meditating first thing in the morning. The world is a bit quieter in the early morning, and you don’ t have the stress of the day weighing on your shoulders. There is also less chance of you being disturbed.
Try to wake up just half an hour earlier every single day to meditate. You will hopefully find that you enjoy starting every day full of positive, peaceful energy!
As part of your routine, it’ s important to find a specific room in your house to do your meditating. If possible, it should be quiet, dark, and comfortable. It shouldn’ t want to put you to sleep, but you should automatically relax every time you go in there.
Consider transforming a part of your basement into a meditation room, or even a large closet. If you have a spare bedroom, section part of it off for meditative purposes.
If you don’ t have any extra room in your house, pick either your bedroom or your living room, and push some of the furniture out of the way so that you have a clean, open space to use.
Tip # 2: Stretch First
You may be thinking that it sounds silly to stretch before meditating. I’ m just going to be sitting there, why do I need to stretch?
It’ s a good question with a simple answer: meditation deals with the connection between your mind and your body. It loosens the muscles and allows you to sit for long periods of time comfortably( which is not as easy as it sounds).
