How to Meditate

When you think of meditation you probably think of a bunch of hippies gathered in a circle humming and chanting, right?

Well they might not be as crazy as they look…
By adding mediation into your daily routine you will find yourself more relaxed, focused and motivated.
So how do you do it?

Step 1: Find a position you are comfortable in sitting, laying, standing upside down whatever your comfy possie is!

Step 2: Close your eyes and deeply inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth.

Step 3: Once your breathing is nice and heavy I want you to start imaging your inhale as a colour, this colour represents happiness and relaxation. As you inhale imagine this colour filling up your lungs, right through the body all the way down to your toes and fingers. Filling the body with positive vibes. With every inhale hold your breath for a count of 3 just to ensure the colour has reached all areas of the body.

Step 4: Imagine your exhale as a colour, this colour represents all the dark, anger, sadness and stress coming out of your body maybe grey or black.  With every exhale out the mouth this colour will leave the body taking all your negativity away with it.

Step 5: Continue deep breathing for as long as you’d like, 5 maybe 10 minutes. Slowly open your eyes and let your body adjust back to normal breathing.

And there you have it, you just meditated! All you need is 5 minutes so next time your stress levels are rising to boiling point remember these 5 simple steps to live a better life!
