Make meditation work for you

The biggest misconception about meditation is that there is only one way to meditate and furthermore, we should consider silent-seated meditation as equal to expert level.

If you are doing anything that helps you focus, draw your attention to the breath, body, a sound, the feeling of the present moment, you are meditating.

Your meditation practice may look like;

• Rolling on a foam roller and paying close attention to how your body feels.
• Walking and listening to a podcast and really hearing what they're saying.
• Sitting quietly in a chair while you are nap-trapped by your baby.
• Practicing Yin yoga
• Lying on your bed and becoming aware of the sounds around you and then trying to listen to the furtherest sound away possible.
• Drinking a cup of tea and watching a tree sway in the breeze.
• Lighting some incense and mindfully reorganising your sock drawer.

It could be almost anything!

Meditation is not a one-size-fits-all thing. It's a personal journey that can transform your brain and your life.

You can ditch the old patterns that drag you down and create new ones that lift you up. You can become a badass who can handle anything that comes your way. But you have to do it your way.

You don't need to sit like a statue or chant like a monk. You just need to find what works for you and stick with it. It's your practice. Own it.
