"Be still like a mountain and flow like a great river." Lao Tse.
The way to start your day off with meditation!!!
Sitting comfortably in a chair or in easy pose on the floor, close you eyes and begin to breath in and out in a natural manner. Scan your body for signs of stress or discomfort, acknowledge the tension and mentally give it permission to be occurring. Return your focus to your breath. Passively watch your thoughts "float" by.
Concentrate on the tip of your nose, and feel the breath going in and out.
To help your concentration, you can count every out-breath as one, and count from 1 to 10. When you arrived at 10, simply start at 1 again. All the attention is with the feeling of the nose and the counting, nothing more, nothing less.
Regularly check yourself if you are still concentrated, do not get angry when distracted, simply return to counting from 1.
Just before the end of the session, release the concentration on the counting and the tip of your nose, and simply be aware of how you feel for a minute or so.
Then dedicate the positive energy of the session to whichever goal you like.
The moment of peace that you've experienced during this exercise can be recalled during your day. Just sit quietly for a moment of two and mindfully recall serenity, peace and happiness!
