Meditation has been found to help our immune system by minimizing the effects of stress on our bodies, as well as fighting off and helping the healing from disease. It also improves our concentration, patience, and problem solving ability. Who wouldn’t want that?
Interested in trying meditation, you don’t need much time to get stated. And it isn't as difficult as you might think. Here are five ways to fit much-needed meditation into your schedule:
• Five minutes to start: Keep it short. You don't have to set aside half an hour; you can start to feel the benefits with even a few minutes of regular meditation. You can build from there.
• Have a focus. If sitting with your eyes closed is difficult, focus on an item on the wall or a candle flame. Keep your mind blank, stay in the moment. If you can’t do that, count from one to ten over and over.
• Find a regular time. Do not do it before you go to bed or you will fall sleep, and do not do it while you are doing something else like taking a shower. When you meditate, focus on meditation.
• Try tensing your muscles before hand. Tense your face muscles, then your neck muscles, shoulders, chest, stomach, arms, hands, thighs, calves, and feet. Each muscle group for five seconds.
• Meditate again when you find the time. Reward yourself, before the drive home or after it. Or if you take mass transit do it them. Do it before an event that requires your best performance. Whatever you do don’t do it on an empty stomach: to much bodily activity.
