3 Tips to Begin Your Meditation Practice
What happens when you begin to meditate is that you begin to feel yourself. You start to gain insight into your life and your purpose.
At first, meditation practices focus on the breath. You can begin this practice by counting the seconds as the breath comes into your lungs, then counting how long we're holding our breath and then how long we exhale. We can do this until we are present and mindful.
Try it now. Wherever you are, close your eyes and take a giant deep breath in through your nose.
Hold it at the top for a few moments; then slowly exhale, releasing the air out through your mouth. Repeat twice more and gently open your eyes.
