Relaxation and Meditation


What is it? And how simple can you make it?


Does your heart sink when people talk about relaxation and meditation? Sometimes, people can just make the simplest of things complicated. You start to read about it and it just sounds so complicated that you think “I don’t have time for that!” Or “Are you kidding? My head is just not going to stop spinning enough to relax!” I’ll let you into a little secret, it isn’t as complicated as some people like to make it out to be.


Let me ask you a question, do you daydream? Have you ever asked yourself what you would do if you won the lottery? Did your mind wander when you booked a holiday, a vacation somewhere warm and sunny? Did it become stressful because you knew who would be going with you? Now, think about it if they weren’t going with you? How would you felt? Calmer? More relaxed? You would, right?


Now, what if you could go on that vacation, not cost you a single cent or penny? Just for five minutes, maybe ten? Maybe you could stretch it out for a whole full hour? Would you feel recharged? Do you think if you took a vacation for an hour you may come back as relaxed as you would if you had gone for a massage? Filled with warmth, relax, floating with positivity? Instead of living in the past, you could be living in the present. You can retrain your mind. Don’t get me wrong it won’t happen overnight but it will happen for you.


It is about becoming aware of yourself, the way you feel, sense and think about what is happening around you. This can help transform your way of life and the way you look at it and the people around you. It helps you to take stock of matters and what is irrelevant to you, which personal battles to pick and which to drop because they are just not worth your health or stress. Simply, understand the purpose, remain in the present while you are there and never become judgmental, easy, right?
