Another Perspective on Meditation

There are plenty of ways to meditate.

What do you think of when you think of meditation? Sitting in silence, cross legged, on the ground for a long time?

While this may work for some people, there are lots of other ways you can meditate and practice mindfulness while being present. Below are some examples:

-Walking (paying attention to sounds, smells, sights around you)

-Listening to Music (listening closely to the instruments, chord progressions)

-Drinking your tea or beverage slowly and mindfully (tuning into the flavors)

-Writing (write a sentence and mediate on the words you used)

-Stretching (focus on your breathing and sensations running throughout your body)

-Reading (pay attention to how the author uses words to convey a message)

So the next time you’re thinking about meditating, experiment with the above and see which one works for you.
