Before we begin with the lessons on meditation, it is very important to become aware of your current state. The route to enlightenment is through self-awareness.
There are a number of ways to do it, but today I will show how to do it with the journaling method. I have attached a template along with this class for this purpose. You are encouraged to fill out this document before you start the meditation. You can do it on a device of your choice or a book, which will serve as your personal diary.
This has to be done only once before you do your first meditation. It is important as this will be your reference point, which will help you understand your progress subsequently.
You will do this today after the meditation, using the same template. The gradation will be done from 0 to 10, depending on how you feel at the end of this class.
Once you start meditating on a daily basis, with this technique come back to this template on the first day of every month and grade yourself again on this template.
When you do this regularly on a monthly basis, you will be to see your own progress over a period of time.
If you wish you can even share your grades with me on this forum.
This project work is an excellent tool to keep yourself motivated and inspired and see your own personal transformation that you always desired.
In current times where we all are so busy constantly doing something or the other, we forget to take a pause, and attend to ourselves.
In this class on Creative Self Care: Nurture Yourself Through 5 - 10 Minutes Meditation and Journaling, I will show you how to take time for yourself and take care of your mental and emotional needs through meditation and journaling.
For this, I have formulated 3 simple steps which anyone can follow even if they have never tried to meditate ever in their life before. It is a great way to improve your quality of life, even if you only have a few minutes to do it each day.
This method will include:
- few breathing techniques
- few keywords
- setting an intention to relax your mind and body
Benefits of regularly using this method include:
- Better focus, concentration, and problem-solving ability
- Goal achievement and improving performances using affirmations
- Relaxation and stress control
- Helps to break bad habits and weight loss
- Increase positive feelings like happiness, freedom, and contentment
- Improved self-awareness, self-confidence, and trust
- Get a clear understanding of your purpose in life.
- Boost spiritual development
- Improved sleep
- Better ability to cope with daily stress and pressures of life.
- It also fosters a sense of compassion and kindness towards ourselves and others.
By the end of this class, you will learn the techniques to start your daily meditation practice. You will also learn how to journal your experiences and grade your progress in different aspects of your life on a monthly basis.
For this class, all you need is your desire to experience your inner peace and a device or a book for journaling.
