The Very Simple Beginners Guide to Meditation

Be where your feet are.

It all begins with a moment. You can drop into meditation right now, by sinking into your seat, feeling your feet on the ground, lowering your gaze or closing your eyes and taking a few breaths. It’s that simple, really.

Don’t worry about doing it right or wrong, or carving out a space or time. Those ideas get us stuck in our heads and in our own way. Meditation is meant to be a way to help us be in our bodies and to connect with the present moment.

The beauty of this simple practice, is that even just a few short minutes, can help reduce anxiety, improve your mood, lower your blood pressure, and regulate your nervous system. It’s so powerful and effective, it almost feels like magic.
