Do your days feel rushed? No time to relax? How would you like to start your day feeling like you are in control? Here is a quick meditation you can do first thing in the morning to help you feel energized and focused.
Steps to a Quick Meditation
Step 1: Find a quiet place and get comfortable. You can sit on the floor with your legs crossed or in a chair with your feet touching the ground. TIP: The perfect time to do a quick meditation is before everyone in the house wakes up.
Step 2: Close your eyes and slow down your breathing by inhaling and counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and exhale 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Repeat 5 times and breathe a little deeper each time. As you do this exercise your body will begin to relax.
Step 3: Now visualize yourself sitting near a beautiful waterfall. The sky is a deep blue and the sun’s rays are like diamonds as they touch the water. Feel the warmth of the sun on your face. You can hear the sound of the waterfall as it cascades over the cliff and into the pool below. The birds are singing and the breeze lightly brushes the trees. Let your thoughts get caught up in your surroundings. Stay in your visualization as long as you like . . . be in the moment.
Step 4: You can now slowly leave your visualization by counting to 10. With each count you are coming out of your meditative state to where you are currently sitting.
By now you should feel refreshed and ready to take on your day. Be consistent with this quick meditation and you will find that it’s easier to relax, handle stress and have a positive outlook.
