Before we dive into specific meditations, let’s chat about some universal helpers for your practice! Most meditations thrive with a few simple guidelines for your body and mind. For your body, think about a posture that’s both grounded and alert, like a proud tree with deep roots and branches reaching for the sky. This might mean a tall, straight spine and an open chest. For your mind, we’ll practice gentle concentration (lovingly bringing your attention back to your meditation object) and equanimity (observing thoughts and feelings without judgment). These aren’t rules to be stressed about, but loving suggestions to help you unlock deeper peace. Find what feels good for you! 🧘‍♀️🌿
