The after work meditation session seems like a good time to set work aside and focus on my life outside of work. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Friedemann G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Mindfulness for anxiety, but if you have some kind of anxiety where you are uneasy about focusing on your body, pick something outside your body. If you&#39;re low in energy I would suggest meditations which teach you lessons.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Maria P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I love to do meditation with my hypnotherapist \ud83d\ude42 her help allows me to get deeper and deeper and to talk to every side of my being. What about you ?<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Raul E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I feel it&#39;s better to meditate in the mornings. I like a variety of meditations, some guided some unguided, depending on how I&#39;m feeling that morning.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Claudia Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I like to either lay in bed or sit in whichever position I&#39;m comfortable with at the moment. I focus on my breathing with some controlled breathing exercises. I will then stretch or do some yoga to help release tension. As I&#39;m going through all this I like to keep my head clear by focusing on my breathing and muscles that are in need of stretching. If my mind does wander, which it does every so often, I like to take note of it and go over it with myself afterwards if it&#39;s really been clouding my mind. I love to also meditate with a blanket too because it helps comfort me as well as some water to stay hydrated.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Maria W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I have a lot of different modalities that I rely on. But the most important form of meditation for me is written things aimed at the intellect. Koans is what they are called. This probably technically isn\u2019t considered a meditation practice, but for me, it opens up a space that allows me to very quickly awaken to the perfection of the present moment. Of course, \u201ca finger pointing at the moon is not the moon\u201d&#8230; meaning that the koan isn\u2019t \u201cthe way or the path\u201d. But it\u2019s a pointer to the practice, and for me, that pointer is a short cut to the juiciest part <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Barry X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I have been using the HEADSPACE app for almost 5 years, love it, look forward to meditation time every day, wherever I am. It offers a lot and variety in \u201cpacks, series and various interests to choose from. It also offers a 10 day free trial so you can see if you like it.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Alison E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I actually prefer the Daily Calm app, and I wish there was a way to link it to Fabulous. I like the wide variety of choices in background music and different style meditations.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Travis O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I prefer sitting silently in my bed, just before going to sleep. I use aided meditation by hearing a tutorial or meditation guide and try to fall asleep while I\u2019m at it.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">S Nia F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Learning a few types is actually the best way to build it into your life.  Personally I like basic vipassana (breathing) for a quick 5 minute meditation, with a body scan being helpful if I want something that lasts 10-15 minutes.<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Molly P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I prefer a guided meditation, and one that focuses on becoming aware of feelings and sensations within the body that I may have not been aware of, through the breath. For example, noticing where you may be holding onto stress, or where in your body you feel something when you focus on a certain thought or idea. <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tony O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yoga is an awesome meditation outlet&#8230;your mind can be freed of everything and just focusing on the breathing and stretching <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sherri O.
