The Ultimate Brain
Vacation
A Moment of Meditation
Meditation ... take a mini vacation for your brain. To begin, your body must
be comfortable and aligned to provide the mind a vehicle to be
still in. If not,
the body distracts the mind from it's mini vacation! Meditation tools
like pranayama, imagery, mantra, and chants trains the brain busy for the
mind and body to be still and peaceful.
 Benefits:
Moving in to the present moment, sit tall in your seat sliding
your shoulder blades down your back. Ground both feet flat on to
the floor. Breath softly through your nose relaxing your lips and
tongue. Relax your eyelids over your eyes and keep your gaze soft.
Sense your presence, your height, width, even your weight and just
let yourself be in this precious moment. Notice any smells or fragrances,
even the taste in your mouth.
Pay attention to all the sounds around
you, far and near and eventually let them fade directing your attention
to the sounds inside your body. Perhaps you hear your breathing
or your stomach digesting or even your own heart beat. Soothing,
predictable and everlasting. Notice any mind dialogue with your
body. Without engaging or judging, just observe with compassion
and let your self be. Allow the breath to ebb and flow like the
gentle waves of the ocean. Let each breath be unique and refreshing
like each new moment.
Observe and experience the unknown with great
awareness and compassion for yourself as well as for others.
