You may think you don’t have the space to do yoga at work or the time to stretch in the morning. Yet yoga is so versatile and adaptable, you will be amazed at how easily you can fit the following yoga stretches into your busy schedule.

Life is busy and there will be days, weeks, maybe even months when you feel like, or want to meditate. That’s okay. That’s life. You will wake up one day and you will sit and practice

The beauty of meditation is that it is an ongoing, unfolding personal development process that enables you to become more aware of your emotional states, thoughts, feelings, and actions and identify those that are healthy and unhealthy and ultimately lift or zap your energy

In meditation, you train your body to be still and your mind to slow down and focus on a point of concentration.

Meditation is not an isolated act, it is not something you do and then forget about until the next time you practice. Meditation is a skill, a technique you use to help you regain your focus and concentration any time during your day. Being present and aware of your posture, your thoughts, and your breath on a regular basis during your day are as vital as knowing your shoe size.

Meditation is your time-out with yourself. It isn’t a house party, and there is no law saying how you must feel. Keep a journal and write down how you feel before and after each meditation session. Maintain a beginner’s mind and, most importantly, connect with other like-minded people who can embrace, nourish, and support you during your practice and daily life.

As you know, your thoughts determine the outcome of your behaviour. If you truly desire inner peace and relief from the busyness of your day, set your intention by quietly saying to yourself, “I am here to be still, calm, and clear my head.

Learning to become aware of how you are breathing, what happens to your body and even your mind as you breathe helps you turn your attention away from the everyday noise in your life and the chattering in your mind.

At the end of the day, meditation is a state of mind. The practice of meditation is just a tool to guide you to feel calm, inner peace, and balance in your everyday life.
