What do you do to meditate? Is there a specific ritual you have?

I usually do yoga first to set my mind in a meditative state through my physicality so that when I’m ready to meditate, I can easily do so. I feel more quiet and grounded. Another thing I make sure of is that I have a quiet space for me to focus, which is required for meditation anyway.

I have just started meditating every evening after taking a hiatus from the discipline. I t feels especially good before bed because it helps me feel centered in my body before sleep. I often do a body scan but lately have been struggling with lots of thoughts. When that happens I’ll just acknowledge “thinking” and go back to focusing on my breathing.

First thing in am, I go to my space, either do yoga first then meditate in my chair or vice versa. Also every night before bed I meditate. I use an app called insight timer.

To meditate, I put on my headphones (it prevents from being distracted by ambient noise), sit with my legs crossed like Chinese monks(sitting like that gives a signal to my brain to suggest that I should stay focusing, and I also find it cool to meditate like monks instead of just sitting, makes me feel like I am really doing it right), then I just start.

I’m new at meditating. I find a comfortable place to sit and follow guided meditation for 10 minutes in the morning before I start my day. It stops the frantic rush to get to work and puts me in a calmer state if mind to help tackle whatever is waiting for me at work.

I’m using the Headspace app. I do it in my coach, because is my favorite spot at home. And it is the last thing I do before going to bed.

I use the Headspace app and follow their guided meditations. I have set up meditations as part of my evening ritual on Fabulous following their night time journey advice and do it the same way every evening. I usually do it sitting up in bed after lighting up a candle as I like the ambience that sets up. Hope you find a ritual that works well for you :)

I use the app headspace for a 3-10 minute meditation EVERY morning on week days it’s soon as I wake up with morning tea, all alone. On weekends I just carve time in.

I always meditate right after I exercise. That way I still have my mat and yoga block (which I sit on) out already. I streach throughly after working out so my legs don’t fall asleep.

Hi I follow MindfulnessApp and a few modules it Fabulous App. I also learnt Sahaj Meditation a few years ago but don’t follow that much. As a child I had learnt Transidental Meditation of Maharishi Yogi but never really followed it.
