4 tips to a better meditation practice
1) START SMALL
I suggest that all my students aim to meditate for 15-20 minutes.
Once a week is good.
Twice a week is great.
Three times a week is excellent.
2) GET ACTIVE
It is a myth that meditation needs to be done sitting still. Especially when beginning, you will get more out of active meditation styles such as colouring in, painting, gardening, running or swimming.
Anything where your body is moving and your brain is free to float will help you to achieve the brain wave states required. Keep practicing as this is training your brain! Soon the inactive versions will become easier for you to do too.
3) SET A TIMER
When meditating I often lose track of time. Has it been 2 minutes or 1 hour?
It is helpful to set a timer Start at 5 minutes because that is better than nothing and work your way up.
Another option is to choose a guided meditation or piece of music that goes for a specific length of time.
4) REPETITION
Once you have your spot, stick with it.
I have a chair that I sit in to meditate, my brain and body know exactly what’s up when I sit in that chair and it makes it infinitely easier to slip into a meditative state.
If you’re actively meditating such as colouring in, aim to always use the same book or pens, and sit in the same place when doing it.
