Hello Friends,
Hope you are enjoying the summer heat!
Students have been inquiring more and more about sitting meditation and where/how to practice. You can incorporate meditation practice into your daily routine at home. Sitting for 5, 10, 15 minutes daily can help relieve stress. The key is discipline and consistency in practice.
Yoga asanas (postures) are a gateway to ease the body and help prepare for meditation.
This month we will incorporate sitting meditation into our practice.
Yoga Journal is offering a 28 day meditation revolution guided by Sally Kempton this month. Sign up here!
July Focus: Shamatha or Mindfulness Meditation
Cliff notes..
1. Take your seat - either on a cushion or a chair with your back in an upright position
2. Bring attention to your breathing... inhale/exhale...follow the breath
3. When a thought arises, label it thinking and bring awareness back to your breath
