A Practical Tool To Heal.

I am going to share a practical tool that will help you heal your mind, body and soul at home and on the go! This practical tool is meditation.

I am going to talk about meditation because I feel it is the most useful practice we have to help heal our mental, physical or emotional pain.

Who does Meditation?

When working with people, I consider all the elements that go into cultivating health.

Health and wellness complement each other, as do massage and meditation.

When we integrate meditation into our daily lives, it makes massage more beneficial.

All the techniques used in massage provide space for the client to engage more deeply in meditation. They are complementary practices that balance the body.

When we integrate meditation into our lives, the massages we have can help fully release the stress, tension, subtle injuries and pain we are holding onto within the layers of our body and mind.

What is Meditation?

Meditation can be easily implemented into our daily routines to allow space to check in with the mind, body and soul.

Meditation is the practice of calming our mind and connecting with our heart and body to feel more profound levels of mental, physical and emotional being.

It focuses the mind by helping train the awareness to achieve a mentally clear, physically relaxed and emotionally calm state of being.

Meditation purposely brings our attention to the experiences occurring in the present moment without judgment or attachment.

You can meditate anytime you would like to because this is an exercise for the mind, body and soul with many physical and emotional benefits such as reducing stress, anxiety, body pain, inflammation and high blood pressure, much like the benefits of a massage.

How to Meditate

The first thing you want to keep in mind when meditating is your environment. You will want to find a quiet space to avoid being distracted.

Secondly, get into a comfortable position where you can feel calm and focus on your breathing.

You can meditate lying down or sitting on the bed, floor, pillow or chair. What’s important is that you feel comfortable.

Once you have done this, start by closing your eyes and bringing your focus and awareness inward to connect with your breath.

By closing your eyes, this will begin a process of active listening to empty any overthinking or stress you may be experiencing, consciously and subconsciously.

Observe the way the air feels flowing in through your nose, then the transition to exhale out through your nose or mouth.

Let the thought of THANK YOU arise during this task and simply connect it with your breath.

The key is to accept everything as the breath comes in, and let go of it all, as the breath moves out.

For your first time meditating, I recommend you start with 5 minutes.

As you make meditation practice apart of your daily routine, you can increase the time to what feels right for you.

I recommend aiming to meditate daily for 10-20 min in the morning and evening.  Free Playlist!
