Why Choose this 31-day meditation flow?
Why choose this 31-day challenge?
Breathing is the key to life.
It is also the key to music, drama, dance and sports.
Breathing has value.
Understanding your thoughts
Meditation is about learning to notice your thoughts and remember that many of those thoughts are just a default-mode that is not motivating us, it is debilitating us. It is a path to not fighting with yourself.
We are unique
When the body and mind remember our incredible uniqueness and light in the world, we regain our love of life, music and others. The frightening thing is, we had no idea that we had lost it in the first place.
The spirit is housed in the body
Close your eyes if that is comfortable for you, breathe in the knowledge of your own unique spirit and hold it close. Notice how your heart feels. Notice how your body opens and expands.
Let's Do Meditation To Calm Your Mind
This constant stream of thoughts in our heads is quite literally causing us terrible pain and creating a war within ourselves.
One of my favorite quotes on this subject is from Dan Siegel:
“If you have a fight with yourself, who can win?”
