Meditate

I am at peace.

Find a comfortable seat in a quiet place and close your eyes. As you sit in stillness, listen as you inhale and exhale, and allow your mind to settle so you can take a journey inward and upward.

Meditation can be that simple. Although there are many approaches, the main goal is to empty the mind and become an observer of your thoughts, allowing them to enter and leave without attachment, labeling, or judgment.

Starting with just five minutes in the morning or the evening can lay the foundation for a daily meditation practice and create significant shifts in perspective. As you begin to see the benefits, you can go more in depth with your practice, incorporating guided meditations, breathwork, or classes in different modes of meditation to see which resonates with you the most.

What blocks, real or imagined, prevent you from meditating? What practical steps can you take toward removing these blocks?
