day 1 of giving meditation a shot (again). i really hope that i don’t give up easily this time. if anyone’s got suggestions/tips that can help me form this habit successfully, i’d love to know what helped you when you got started or even if you failed to form the habit the first time and then tried again and succeeded. 🥺💙

I have lots to say so I'll try to keep it short. Three things that are linked together: body, breath, and mind. Think of it like a pyramid. Your body is the base. In order to sit still the body needs stillness. 1. Some physical balancing will be helpful. You'll have to find out what works for you but for me a bit of simple yoga asanas does it. Food is also an important aspect, choosing foods that are calming for your system that work for you. If you drink alcohol, coffee, chai - best to wait 6-8 hours so it wears off the nervous system before beginning meditation. A buzzing body is tough to allow the mind to be calm. 2. Thoughts, emotions & breath are all connected. Finding a breathing practice that balances the breath is important. For me, alternate nostril breathing is a tool I use. It balances the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system and allows the breath to be calmer and the mind to be more still. 3. Setting a consistent time every day. Start out at a time that feels doable for you.
