Week Three: Meditation Month

I have to be honest,  have only meditated twice this week! It's been a pretty busy week around my house with my mum's birthday and work etc... I just completely forgot about doing it! I feel like once this month is over I am still going to try and carry this on through February so that I can properly report my experience. 

Sorry! I am going to smash it next week though!

Week Two: Meditation Month

I have to admit that keeping up with this routine is quite difficult. For my second week I have taken to doing my meditation session as soon as I wake up in the morning. I am finding it increasingly difficult to sit still. The only thing about doing it early in the morning is that my mind is already starting to scan through everything I want to get done in that day. I am hoping that I will master the technique of clearing my mind but for now, halfway through the month. I am still rubbish at it if I'm honest.

Next week I am going to try doing my sessions at bed time. I am hoping this might help me sleep a little better too. I will let you know how it goes!

Week One: Meditation Month

Week One: Meditation Month

I have to be honest, I completely forgot on New Year's Day to start my meditation. Not off to a good start eh? 

However I downloaded a meditation app onto my iPad called 'Breathe'. It's free and really simple to use. You simply type in your top 5 emotions for the day- e.g. Hopeful, contented, excited etc... And then the app generates a few options for you. You can read the descriptions and decide which one you want to complete- then simply set it off and follow the instructions! Couldn't be simpler! 

I have been choosing the 5 minute long ones for this first week, but I will be upping my times next week. To be honest the first day, I just felt really sleepy once I had finished- which didn't do me any favours at 8am. But over this past week I have honestly began to enjoy the feeling. It's nothing special, but just having a small amount of time to completely block out everything but yourself, it is cathartic. It kind of gives you a sense of awareness in your body which is really pleasant. 

This week has gone pretty well, I will report back next week with my progress and see if my energy levels increase- as some say meditation can do.
