Meditation helps us to experience calm in both our bodies and minds. Regular meditation can lead us to a heightened state of consciousness and self-awareness while stress melts away. Practice this simple flower meditation each morning for 20 minutes. Try not to force focus, but simply think of your favorite flower while letting go of any frustrations, complications and obligations. If the mind begins to wander, gently bring the focus back to the flower.
Directions:
- Find a quiet, meditation-friendly place.
- Sit in a comfortable relaxed position.
- Close your eyes.
- Begin the meditation by focusing on your favorite flower. Imagine yourself to be that flower, standing tall, or imagine yourself wandering in a beautiful field of flowers.
- Exhale slowly, releasing all your worries.
- Inhale slowly as you recall the scent of your favorite flower.
