How do you meditate?

People think that to meditate you have to sit quietly, humming or so. Meditation is the simple act of being aware of your body. You can meditate on a word that impacts your day, like feminism, dream or goals. How are you changed by those words, or by an idea that a word brings in to your world? You can also meditate on a song, a dance move, or whatever. My key to meditation is to bring something to my day that will help me to understand who I am or how I feel under some situations. Find something that you love doing and use that as your meditation. Hope I helped. Cheers

Hi! I don’t meditation unfortunately, I have done sporadically but I’m bad I must admit. The few occasions I have done it I’m feeling much better about myself and I guess it’s just my discipline and actually prioritizing my own self... I will work on that and hopefully get it into a habit!

I use a meditation app that has guided meditations. There are also meditations on YouTube that have helped me get used to meditation.

Sit comfortable, focus on what you see first, without describing the things colors etc around you. Just calmly looking around. Seeing and letting go what you see. Then the same for hearing, feeling and breathing. With the eyes closed. Experience your breath, hold it and let it go. Just like you experienced your vision before.

With my eyes closed, I start to take deep breaths, and concentrating on the flow of air in my body, also I usually use a little trick to keep my mind free of thoughts, like counting breaths, or imagining a white room where I’m in.

I played two different apps every night. One is called stop breathe think and they’re all there is called Headspace. I put them on for 10 minutes each and play a different one every night.

I use the insight timer app. They have a zillion guided meditations of all kinds and options to just use a timer with different background sounds

I meditate at night listening to guided meditations on my phone. It’s not ideal because I often fall asleep before finishing but it’s a better way to settle my brain down than screen time or just laying there thinking. I’m starting to learn to quiet my thoughts and it’s easier to build it into a habit if it’s just part of my bedtime routine.

I meditate in the morning before I get up. To have a calm mind. Mostly 5 minutes. And I meditate before I sleep. To leave the day behind me. This time longer between 15-20 minutes. Some days are better. Some days the mind will not be calm. But I always try

I sit, close my eyes and focus on my breath. Every time a thought passes by, I label it and try to focus on the breath again. Or I choose a subject and then think about it or a question that I want to answer.
