Technique Tuesday: Practicing Meditation

Around the same time the stay at home order started, I began taking a free online happiness course offered from YALE University. The course was broken down into lectures and readings with at home workshops designed to rewire your habits. I decided to create a facebook group for other people taking the course so we could discuss our progress together in real time. The group took off and currently has people from all over the globe! For many of us, a sense of community and emotional growth was just what the doctor ordered. If you are interested in joining sign up here:

Week five homework focused on meditating for ten minutes a day, in an effort to intentionally turn off distracting thoughts. If you are like me, you may have dabbled in meditating as part of your yoga practice. To insure I was really taking the task seriously, though, I wanted to find a purposeful meditative state. I began searching on Spotify to find guided meditation playlists, a way to learn how to lead my mind and create a new habit. Meditation is a personal practice and you may use it for entirely different reasons than me, from anxiety to energy or better sleep.

To get started I welcome you to check out my Spotify playlist of curated guided meditations:

I hope you find these tools as interesting as I did. If you enjoy them and progress forward, you might like the meditation flow playlist I created for your use during at home workouts or quiet meditations:

I would LOVE to hear how your meditation journey fares, so please get in touch and share. STAY SAFE AND STRONG! - Bee
