The 4-Step Guide to How to Meditate
We hear a lot these days about the incredible benefits that a dedicated meditation practice can have
on our brain health, mental and physical abilities, creativity, and overall happiness and well-being. But
how do you meditate?
It can seem like a silly question — just sit down and breathe, right? This is what I used to think too. “Meditation?
I’m a yogi, I got this!” Or so I figured… And then, I found out how to
really meditate, or at least, how to do so while truly reaping
its full range of benefits for the body and mind.
While it might be technically
simple to meditate, it’s not quite as foolproof as you might imagine. The magic ingredients? Intense focus, duration, and regularity, all built on a bedrock of calm, patience and self-compassion. The longer you can set aside to meditate, and the more regularly you practice, the greater the benefits you’ll get. So when I went from an occasional 10-minute break to a daily 20-minute morning ritual, for instance, it made all the difference.
Are you ready? Come along now on Goalcast’s guided meditation, and we’ll give you a few pointers to get you started on the path to
living a mindful life.
Enjoy!
