Stress Meditation
from: Steve GillmanToo much stress? You need a simple stress meditation. Of course,
learning to meditate might intimidate you, and it's tough to
find the time for daily meditation. A solution to both problems
is a meditation you can learn right now, that will take a minute
to do each day.
An Easy Stress Meditation
When you breath through your mouth, it expands your chest.
Breath through your nose and you'll notice how your abdomen
extends. Nose-breathing causes the diaphram to pull air to the
bottom of your lungs. This delivers a good dose of oxygen into
your bloodstream and brain, and it also tends to relax you.
Breathing through your nose is healthier, and it's the basis of
this one-minute meditation.
Here's how you do it. Close your eyes, sigh, and let the tension
go out of your muscles. It may help to tense up your muscles
first, then release that tension. Then let go of your thoughts,
as much as possible, and take four or five slow, deep breaths
through your nose, paying attention to your breathing.
Can Meditation Be This Easy?
The short answer is yes. No, you're not likely to get you into a
deep meditative state with this simple stess meditation.
However, you will get benefits, including a clearer mind and a
reduction in stress.
It helps to develop a "trigger" for your meditation. For
example, do your four breaths when you get into the car, or
right after lunch each day. These triggers are places or times
that remind you, so your meditation becomes a habit.
You can say this isn't "real" meditation, but there's nothing
wrong with enjoying the relaxation you'll get from this
technique. If you want, you can always pursue deeper meditation
later. Meanwhile, remember that not everything has to be
difficult to be of value. Why not try this easy one-minute
stress meditation?
