Meditation for Relaxation.

 

This is one of the main reasons we look at practicing meditation in our lives. It is a great way to help lower your stress and get you through the day.

This next meditation I would like to give you is a great one to help you relax. The good parts about it are that it is Simple and also does not take very much time. The secret for this one is that it is all in the eyes.

1. As with most meditations sit comfortably with you back straight.
2. Next let your eyes close and open a couple times slowly. You will find there is a place between where they are open and where they are close that feels soft and relaxed on the third time stop there.
3. let your gaze drop downward. look softly, do not focus on any specific thing. Keep your eyelids in the comfortable position as in step two.
4. With your eyelids between open and closed and you gaze down and soft you will notice your breathing becoming more rhythmic.
5. If your eyes get to heavy close them. Do not worry about focusing your mind, just let it drift. However make sure if you let it drift you DO NOT let it focus on anything else like stressful things either.
6. If you start to tense up, just focus on your eyelids in there soft place and your eyes downward and not looking at any one thing.

This meditation is very simple and can be done in 2-3 minutes when you need a quick break.

By taking care of your mind this way and seeing to its needs, it will become more alert, focused and be more able to look after your needs.
