Most of the time when we're working, gaming or watching TV we're barely aware that our body exists. We're so engrossed in what we're doing we don't notice our lungs absorbing the oxygen we need or our heart pumping blood around the body.

\n

The body is the easiest way to connect yourself to the present moment - if you find meditation difficult or have given up in the past, it's a great way to ease yourself into the practice. By noticing the movement as we breathe in and breathe out, the pressure of contact with the chair/floor and differences in temperature, we can let go of anxieties around the future and regrets from the past. It seems too easy to be true, but the opportunity for peace and calm exists in every moment.  

\n

Meditation  can be used to reduce stress / anxiety, improve your mood and live a  more peaceful, fulfilled life. If you find it helpful, I invite you to  share on Facebook and say hello!   If you're on Apple podcasts, you may wish to leave a review. May you be happy, may you be peaceful, may you be healthy and live a long life.
