If you've never tried meditation before i would highly recommend it. I find that lots of people think that they cannot do it as their minds are too busy with constant thoughts, but that's the exact reason to try it. 

​

You don't have to sit a certain way, or hold your hands in a certain position. Yes these things do support some meditation styles but the main part is being comfortable. This is something you can explore as you go along your meditation journey.

​

Even just having 2 minutes per day to just 'be' is very beneficial to your mental health. We live in a fast paced world with so many commitments we often put ourselves at the bottom of our to do lists and don't make time for us. One of my favourite sayings is 'you cant pour from an empty cup' so schedule in some time for yourself.

​

The first time you meditate i would recommend using a You tube guided mediation or an app that starts very basic with just 2 minutes of concentrating on your breathing. 

I find it easier to meditate when i have something to focus on. 

​

Its perfectly normal for thoughts to come into your head about every day stuff just remember to acknowledge them and refocus on what you are listening to. You might find you feel as though you are spending the whole time bringing your focus back from thoughts that creep in. This is still going to benefit your mind so bare with it. This is called spiritual practise
