Alright, once I took care of the important stuff, i.e. took out my pony tail - eliminated all bobby pins, etc..., found a relaxing cd without any words and a comfortable meditation pillow (which is extremely important). I can begin the relaxation process. These are a few things that help me:
Breathe deep and try to relax the muscles in my neck, shoulders and face AND try not to slouch. I count the length of my breaths and try to stay focused on breathing in and then breathing out. My mind still wanders, but it is always easy to just come back to breathing in, then breathing out. I focus on areas at the root of my body (the sitting area) and then move that focus up through and including the top of my head. Sometimes, I try to place a color to those areas, commonly called chakras and all have a corresponding color. However, these colors seemed to get skewed, or i just may forget the color all together and then my mind wanders. So, I go back to just breathing in, then breathing out. Once I have reached the top of my head, I move back down to the root of my body. I feel great and hope you will, too.
See you on your mat soon!!!
