Online Meditation Seminar - Part IV
- Breathe deeply. Breathing deep slows the heart rate, relaxes the muscles and quiets the mind. Inhale through your nose, hold the breath for as long as you comfortably can and exhale.
- Stretch before you sit. Stretching loosens your muscles, allowing you to sit in meditation more comfortably. Stretching also increases blood flow and oxygen flow in the body.
- Stay focused. Meditation is an ACTIVE process. If your mind wanders, come back to being aware of your breath. The art of focusing your attention to a single point is difficult, and you must be purposefully engaged!
