Winter is a time to rest, restore and gather your energy inwards. It’s a time to slow down, nurture yourself physically and mentally. Why not start by setting aside five minutes every day to meditate.
There’s a perception that meditation is difficult to do, it doesn’t have to be! Just find a comfortable sitting position, either sitting comfortably on the floor or sit on a chair keeping your spine straight.
Switch your phone onto do not disturb, set the timer for 5 minutes, close your eyes and bring your attention to your breath.
Notice the breath entering through your nostrils and the sensation as you exhale through your nose. When your mind wanders, and it will! gently bring it back (without judgement) and focus again on the inhalation and exhalation of the breath.
At the end of the 5 minutes take a few moments to notice how you feel, before you get on with the rest of your day.
Try and make these five minutes of you time a priority and a daily habit. Very soon you will notice the benefits meditation brings 🙏
