Self Meditation

Meditation is a must have when it comes to mental and emotional growth. Some great benefits of this, you can most definitely use in life is to help better focus & concentrate, lower stress, anxiety, protect against depression, to relax, increase positivity and happiness and so much more. When we meditate, we inject far-reaching and long-lasting benefits into our lives. Meditation is something everyone can do, here is how. Find a place to sit that feels calm and quiet to you. If you are just beginning, it can help to choose a short time, such as five or 10 minutes. You can sit in a chair with your feet on the floor, you can sit loosely cross-legged, you can kneel—all are fine. Just make sure you are stable, and, in a position, you can stay in for a while. Follow the sensation of your breath as it goes in and as it goes out. your attention will leave the breath and wander to other places. When you get around to noticing that your mind has wandered—in a few seconds, a minute, five minutes—simply return your attention to the breath. Do not judge yourself or obsess over the content of the thoughts you find yourself lost in. Just come back. When you are ready, gently lift your gaze (if your eyes are closed, open them). Take a moment and notice any sounds in the environment. Notice how your body feels right now. Notice your thoughts and emotions. That is, it! That is the practice. You focus your attention, your mind wanders, you bring it back, and you try to do it as kindly as possible (as many times as you need to). This is one thing that has most definitely helped me, and I hope it helps you as well.
