Meditation is the most amazing technique to find peace in our lives. It leads the mind from a busy restless state to an higher state that is clear and steady. Science continues to do studies on meditators and they always come up with the same results which are: improve health, reduce high blood pressure and stress hormones. You must understand that meditation needs to be practiced on a regular basis. You must be persistent and repeat it over and over again.
Come and join us in Deepening your Meditation seminar coming up on March 06 and 07 from 10:00AM to 4:00PM. You can check our website for more information and registration. www.sunshineyoga.ca

Today, I would like to introduce you to the practice of breath meditation. It is a simple technique that will change your life.
Sit comfortably with your spine erect and the whole body relaxed. For a few moments let your awareness and breath join together traveling through your body as you observe the wave of relaxation arising with the breath.
Sit for several minutes observing the breath without trying to change or manipulate the breath. Do not control it; let it come and let it go.
Bring your attention to your torso as you establish diaphragmatic breathing. Observe the expansion and relaxation in your torso. Relax any efforts, let the breath breathe you. Observe thoughts coming and going, without an effort let go of the thoughts and bring yourself back to the breath. Continue focusing on the breath and notice how your breath and your mind become one. With practice, you will notice that the breath becomes so soft, rhythmical, even at the same time that the mind becomes more calm, centered and peaceful .
Enjoy the first steps of the practice of meditation. Practice this method for a few days and see the changes in your life.
