Mommy Meditation

It’s likely that the last thing you feel able to do in your busy, busy day is set aside time to meditate. The benefits of meditation are endless. The role this ritual plays within parenthood is essential. Meditation can allow you to create exceptional inner peace, help you develop more confident parenting skills and bring your life order despite your feelings of complete disarray.

Meditation allows you to clear away your path for the day.

How To Make Meditation Happen:

1. In order to bring this peace to your morning, wake up slightly earlier than usual and begin the day with a sense of calm rather than rushing from one activity from sunrise to sunset.

2. To establish the habit of nurturing your spirit before bed after the kids have already been put down for sleep, leave those dishes for the morning and nurture yourself not the housework.

3. Set aside five minutes during the day, in the car while you wait for your children after school, at your desk or while waiting for others in a meeting or at lunch.

Now I Made Time What Do I Do?

A Few Simple Steps

1. Dim the lights and sit comfortably on your floor. You can use a pillow to sit on to aide your comfort and allow your spine to extend fully as you sit upright. Or, you may prefer to lie flat, with your arms resting to your side.

2. Focus on your breathing. Enjoy the feeling that is created as you slowly inhale and exhale slowly releasing the air and tension from your body.

3. Feel your chest expand and collapse, feel your shoulders drop and neck muscles loosen.

4. Let your mind focus on your breathing let all your thoughts fly into the sky.

It's really pretty simple, breathe relax and let go. How's that for Mommy Meditation.

The value of meditation is endless. Find the time. Your mind and body deserve it.
