MEDITATIONS IDEAS

To prepare for your meditation practice......

1. At home - set aside a place, a special place, it doesn’t have to be a whole room. Use a pillow for sitting. Light an aroma candle for a relaxing feel.

Even breathing practice - take a breath in counts 1, 2, then breathe out counts 3, 4; breathe in counts 1, 2, then breathe out counts 3, 4 and continue for about 5 minutes. Follow this even breathing with appreciations for the people in your life and think of at least one way to do another a good turn the next day.

2. Out on the street or at work or school - on a moment’s notice when feeling upset begin your even breathing techniques and continue a few rounds till you regain your composure.
