Starting in June, I will be doing a three-minute segment each month on meditation tips and tools at our local station Channel 4 here in Kansas City, and will post the links. I'm so excited to share several easy ways to get a meditation practice started and begin integrating meditative moments into every day. We are finalizing the details this week, and I'll be back with more information.
EASY MEDITATION TOOL: One simple way to begin being more present is to put a rubber band on your wrist as a reminder to take three slow, full deep breaths a few times throughout the day. It helps to breathe in counting to four, and breathe out counting to six. Research shows that a longer outbreath automatically lowers your blood pressure, and actually pulls more oxygen into your body--getting oxygenated is a good thing! Whenever you notice the rubber band, take three meditative breaths. Eyes open and no one will know that you are getting into your meditative groove! It's a great tool to use before stressful meetings or interactions with difficult people. Give it a try and let me know how it goes.
Happy Wednesday!
