15 Steps To Beginning Your Meditation Practice

We could all use a little motivation in our lives! Here are 15 to beginning your meditation practice. Enjoy!!!

1. Light a candle(s)
2. Burn sage, sandalwood or incense
3. Begin your timer
4. Sit with legs crossed; whatever’s comfortable, or sit in a chair with your feet planted on the ground for grounding purposes
5. Back straight (spine perpendicular to the ground). Head slightly tilted to the sky and eyes closed (or slightly closed)
6. Call in your Spirit Guides and Angels; those of the highest, and say a prayer
7. Take two deep breaths (inhaling through your nose, and exhaling through your mouth) releasing whatever needs to be released; literally let out the sound that your body needs to release
8. Be sure there is a small opening in the mouth so that you can exhale out of the mouth
9. Perform this breathing technique, at least 5 times; inhale through nose on a 4 count, release through mouth on a 4 count. Breathe into your heart chakra, and release from the heart allowing your tummy to pull in towards your spine. Breathe in a continuous flow.
10. Now, allow your body to take over the breathing process, and breathe normally.
11. Options: focus on the music, the sound of nature, or repeat a mantra of your choice. Be one with yourself, and do your best to stay in the present moment.
12. ​Remember to never dwell on the thoughts and visions that are coming through. Take note of them, allow them to be, release them and always say, “thank you.”
13. Coming out of meditation, chant OM 3 times. This will allow you to connect with the essence of life, you become one with life
14. Take a few deep breaths, and now relax
15. Slowly open your eyes, wiggles your toes, fingers, stretch as needed. And, state what you are grateful for…
