Guided meditation.
Meditation is something I really need to find more time in my life for. Every time I do it I always feel better for it.
Just came across this video on Vice Land that offers a short guided meditation.
It's a really short video but can help guide you to what meditation is about. Shutting off your mind for a bit, "connecting you to yourself" as the man said in the video
I've read that buddhist monks say all you need to do is a couple of seconds a day of meditation to benefit. What are the benefits?
- Meditation reduces stress.
- It improves concentration. ...
- It encourages a healthy lifestyle.
- The practice increases self-awareness. ...
- It increases happiness.
- Meditation increases acceptance. ...
- It slows aging.
- The practice benefits cardiovascular and immune health.
A favorite of mine for guided meditation is definitely Jon Kabat Zinn, I found some of his guided meditation recordings on youtube (You can search for more if you like it) I definitely recommend his "Guided Mindfulness Meditation Series" audio book. (Search for it)
Here's a short interview with Jon
I am taking my own advice and will devote more time to it, because it's actually devoting more time to my mind and health... worth a lot more than any currency.
