Meditation Guide
A beginners guide to meditation
Grounding
The Muladhara chakra, or the root chakra, is located at the base of the spine and controls your ability to trust yourself, and the way that you respond to fear- it’s basically your fight or flight response to things. This is the foundation that the rest of your chakras, and your practice, are rooted in.
Turning Inward
Your mat is your mirror, don’t miss out on the valuable lessons you can take from your time spent practicing. If you really listen, and become a conscious observer of what is going on inside of you, there is so much to be gained.
Art of Letting Go
It’s not always easy, but it’s definitely necessary for our growth. Yesterday in class I was thinking about the similarities between physically letting go and releasing tension and resistance from the body as we practice, and the act of letting go of resistance and tension in our lives.
Goals
Achieving your goals rarely is a result of blind luck, or even mindless repetition. Mindfulness, self awareness, and the ability to learn as you grow is essential. Whenever I’m feeling down, or a little bit lost or off track, I set the intention to do one thing each day that I feel proud of.
