Four Benefits of Meditating & A clear mind makes you more productive.... It is the nature of the mind to magnify small things into serious problems. Meditation helps us detach. We gain clarity to see the bigger picture. Meditation reduces stress levels and alleviates anxiety. If we can reduce stress, many health specific benefits can follow. Meditation enables us to have a deeper understanding of our inner self. Through meditation we can gain a better understanding of our life’s purpose. Do you have a daily practice? !

Walking Meditation: The Guide The last year has forced many of us to slow down and reflect on what we value and how we can be more intentional in our everyday life. Why not start by walking with intention? How? ... 1. if you find that you’re looking down at your feet, try turning your gaze upward. What do you see? 2. it can be easy to tune out the world around us as we move through it. Our minds want us to feel distracted as a way to protect us. But when we allow ourselves to be present to sounds, it expands our perception of the world. 3. slowing down your pace brings attention to the world around you, to take in the details, imperfections and the beauty in our environments. 4. practice taking a deep inhale with every step, and then exhale in the next step. Connect your breath to the rhythm of your feet. Slow your pace as a way to slow your breathing. 5. we have a tendency to slouch. When we practice standing up straight, it elongates our muscles, opens our chest, and cultivates confidence. 6. repeating a mantra while walking mindfully helps keep the mind from wandering. 7. MOST importantly, be present in the world around you. Unless you’re using your phone to listen to a guided meditation, consider leaving it at home to eliminate distractions. If a walking meditation ritual sounds like a great fit for you, find time to walk with intention each day. Remember that meditation, like all things, takes practice, so explore a style that works for you. SAVE this post for later, try it when you’re ready. Image: @coryconty See more

Do you start your day or practice with an affirmation? Positive affirmations can be very powerful, they release you from negativity, fear, worry, and anxiety. When these affirmations are repeated over and over again, they begin to take charge of your thoughts, slowly changing your pattern of thinking and ultimately changing your life. Need help getting started? Here are a few examples:... 1. I am complete as I am, others simply support me. 2. I am growing and I am going at my own pace. 3. I am in charge of how I feel and I choose to feel happy. 4. I am loved and worthy. 5. I am open to healing. 6. I am optimistic because today is a new day. 7. I belong here, and I deserve to take up space. 8. I practice gratitude for all that I have, and all that is yet to come. 9. I release the fears that do not serve me. 10. My body is beautiful in this moment and at its current size. 11. My feelings deserve to be felt. 12. My life is not a race or competition.
