Meditation is a big part of yoga & Buddhism. It is a great way to give our body and mind a little break, but also to “check-in” with ourselves. During meditation is when we strengthen our “mindfulness muscles” so we can respond more intentionally to the chaotic and unexpected things that happen in everyday life. It also gives us space and time to absorb the good that is happening, so we can embrace gratitude and joy 🤩 Yoga can be a “moving meditation” for sure. 🤸 But it was originally used as a way to prepare the body for an extended sitting meditation. 🧘 Then idea was to get the wiggles out, strengthen and lengthen the muscles so you can prepare the body for sitting for a longer period of time. Time to harness your focus and get closer to enlightenment. But, did you know, that even 1 minute of intentional focus counts as meditation? So, how many days a week do you often meditate? (It’s ok if it’s zero! No shame or judgement) And in the comments, let me know what your goal is (even for just 1 minute 😉)
