Heard of all the great benefits of meditation, but don’t know how to do it? Think it’s only for weirdo hippies? Think you have too active of a mind, or are too ADHD?
Meditation is easy. Anyone can do it. If you think it’s too hard, that’s because nobody has told you the easy technique.
Here’s how:
- Sit down in a comfortable position. No, it doesn’t have to be the lotus position. A comfy chair, or sitting up in your bed is fine.
- Set a timer. Start off with two minutes, and as you get more used to meditating, increase the time.
- Close your eyes.
- Take a deep slow breath in. Try to focus on the air coming into your nose, down your throat, and into your lungs. As you do, think to yourself, “In.”
- Pause, then slowly breathe out. Focus on the air coming out. As you do, think to yourself, “Out.”
