Where to Meditate
Anywhere you are comfortable and can create an inner sanctuary to listen and observe.
When to Meditate
We can meditate opening our mail, turning a doorknob, while eating, or brushing our teeth. Any moment can be an opportunity for presence. Formal meditation – sitting, standing, or laying down can be done any time. Sit upright with the shoulders back and relaxed. Lay down being mindful that our body is conditioned to sleep in that position. Sometimes having a regular time is helpful. What is important is getting ready for a meditation and approaching the meditation time with an attitude of openness and curiosity.
Meditating in the morning can be a way of starting our day by clearing the mind and allowing our intentions to be brought forward from our unconscious to our conscious mind for focus and manifestation.
Meditating in the evening can be a way of allowing the mind to discharge and unwind.
How Long
The mind is use to wandering, thinking, arguing, debating, judging, and justifying. Meditation is a practice of observing and connecting to other frequencies other than the rational linear structures of thought. Start slowly 1 minute several times per day and then add more time as your resolve and commitment deepens.
