YOGA MEDITATION – PART 1

Meditation teaches us to observe—rather than worry about or act upon—the thoughts that constantly flit through our minds.

This lets us withdraw from the never-ending bombardment of desires, fears, regrets, etc… .and find peace by turning our attention solely to the present moment. Start by lying face up on your pad, with arms at sides, palms up. Remain as still as possible.

For the next two minutes or so, focus on each part of your body in turn. Envision each part separately…and relax it.

Start with your forehead, then your eyes, face, neck and shoulders. Move down your body, relaxing each in turn—arms and hands…chest and abdomen…hips, legs and feet…then back up the spine to the neck and head.

Gently bring your attention to your forehead. Silently repeat “om” several times.
