Meditation is a simple practice that has been used for thousands of years to help with overall health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few tips to help you find some peace and harmony, even if you have never meditated before these tips should help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7         It is best to meditate first thing in the morning as most people run out time during the day but if the morning is not going to work for you, meditate when it is convenient for you. The beauty of meditation is that it can be done anywhere and anytime of day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7         Find a quiet place to sit comfortably in (you can sit in any position you like that is comfortable). As a beginner start by sitting for 2 minutes a day for a week. Don\u2019t worry about the how, just start. Most people worry about where to sit, what to sit on, how to breath and then never get started. Just start by sitting comfortably<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7         Close your eyes and sit quietly, your thoughts will come and go<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7         Start with a few deep breaths, this should help you start to relax, then as you begin your meditation your breathing should return to normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7         When you first start meditating it is helpful to count your breath in for a count of 4 and out for a count of 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7         Understand that your mind will wander but as it does just bring your focus back to your breath. Meditation is about clearing the mind and as you keep practicing you will find your mind wandering less<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7         Keep a gentle smile on your face, this helps to keep you peaceful and relaxed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7         When your two minutes are finished slowly open your eyes and adjust to your surroundings, smile and be grateful that you made time for yourself<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7         You can use meditation music to help set the mood and there are many apps available that can assist you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
