No judgement zone: Do you meditate?
|
Hello Reader, Do you meditate? I promise this isn't a trick question or intended to make you feel guilty for being on a yoga related email list and saying, um, nope I never meditate. Even as a yoga teacher meditation often isn't at the top of my to do list. Do I notice a difference if I meditate consistently? Yes! Does meditation solve all of my woes? Absolutely NOT! Is meditation hard? Sure can be! Do you have to sit still, eyes closed and be 100% focused? No! Does meditation have to take a lot of time? No, less than 5 minutes makes a difference There are tons of benefits to meditation, including the ability to calm the mind, reduce stress, improve sleep, reduce anxiety. But it can be hard to make the time to do something that you might be dreading. When I consistently meditate I sleep better, I'm less stressed, my mood is generally better Tempted to find out more and try out meditation?

Hello Reader and Happy Spring! I don't know about where you are, but the weather here in Bend can't decide what it wants to do. It seems like a lot of people are tired of winter although I could definitely do with some more snow and winter sports, but regardless of the weather I'm glad to be able to get outside more. This week starts the first of what I intend to be weekly newsletters. I promise to keep these short and provide value. For those of you that aren't able to make my in person...
