Bust the myth that you must stop your mind to meditate; acknowledge thoughts, breathe, and use a one minute meditation to calm a busy mind.
Choose a comfortable posture—lotus, bolster, or chair—and sit with a straight back, feet flat, hands resting on your thighs or chair arms, and do not lean back.
Explore meditation postures from lotus to supported seated, focusing on a straight back with props. Keep knees together, toes not touching, and use chair or wall options for comfortable breathing.
Begin meditation by gently closing your eyes and breathing normally through the nose, as step one of the method.
Close your eyes, sit straight, and breathe through the nose while focusing on the oceanic sound to find your meditation point and practice the first round of the one-minute version.
In this course, I begin by sharing with you a powerful, traditional meditation technique that you can use as a stand-alone practice. Next, I deconstruct the technique to show you a simplified version that can be used in your everyday life to decompress and become more present in less than a minute.
This may be the only meditation practice you'll ever need. By the end of this course, you'll have learned a meditation that you can begin using immediately - Both at home, for a longer practice and in your daily life, in stressful situations. The beauty of this technique is it's portability and efficiency.
