Mind Vacation Meditation

Here are two common meditation methods to help bring relaxation to you:

Standing Meditation

This  meditation methods is a great exercise to practice proper breathing,  a simple way to concentrate and a great way to regain your proper breathing techniques similar to the way we used to breathe naturally as infants.

Stand comfortably with your spine straight and feet about shoulder distance apart, opening the left hand and placing the thumb on your belly button so the palm of the hand is against the lower abdomen, then place you right hand on top of left in the same manner. Breathe slowly and feel the lower part of your abdomen expand and naturally pushing away your hands outward your belly. Hold the breath for four seconds and then exhale slowly, feeling your lower abdomen contracting inward as the air is released.

Recognize the thoughts without judgment and bring back the concentration to your breath.

Walking Meditation

Here is another meditation methods that is a very effective way of exercising and meditating. Simply walk at a natural and comfortable pace, concentrate on the sole of your feet touching making contact with the earth. Focus on the spot in the center of your foot just at the forward part of the arch. With each step feel this spot making contact with the earth and extending into the earth, next foot after the other. Allow normal, relaxed breathing through the lower abdomen.

Recognize thoughts without judgment bringing back the concentration to the sole of the foot or your breath.

Please practice these two meditation methods, and share your thoughts with me.
