Full Body Scan - Meditation

In our daily lives it can be very easy to put insurmountable amounts of pressure on ourselves to achieve, achieve, achieve and lose sight of the importance of little victories. Some days, just getting up in the morning and giving it another shot is, in fact, a victory because it could be easier to quit and never try again. This meditation hopes to help the meditator remember that life is a marathon and not a race and the way forward is one breath at a time.

In life, we often pick up baggage along the way. Sometimes this baggage consists of big things like childhood and relationship trauma but we also pick up numerous little things along the way and those little things may not seem like much but they add up over time and just weight us down. This meditation hopes to help you be more mindful of the baggage we pick up and consider handling those little things as they arise so we don't carry them with us for years. 

It is easy to forget how easy things are in modern times. It's easy to forget how slow things used to be. But somehow, the faster things get, the less patient we become. There is a wisdom in patience that says "I know things will happen in their own time". It take s a lot of practice. This meditation hopes to remind the meditator to be mindful that things will happen when they happen, no sooner, no later. One breath at a time.

Over time we find ourselves in certain agreements with the people in our lives and sometimes those relationships fall into patterns where we are expected to give all of ourselves and put ourselves last in the list of priorities. These are arrangements that we have agreed to over time but may not leave us feeling appreciated or fulfilled. This meditation hopes to remind the meditator that we all deserve better and change only comes from within ourselves. One breath at a time.

Meditation We get attached. We all do. The trick to life though, is to become deeply involved in our life all while being less attached to it. This meditation hopes to help the meditator to deal with attachment through our breath. Breathe in, detach and breathe out. Over and over again.

Life gets hectic and it is often hard to find a way into relaxation. Even when we purposefully take a few minutes to meditate, we are often met with a busy mind that makes it very hard to unplug from the chaos. This meditation aims to help the meditator with a simple tip to hyper-focus the breath into your body, all while doing a complete relaxing body scan. One breath at a time.

Sometimes we allow ourselves to get too busy or overwhelmed to give time for meditation. The thing is that meditation is good for us, even as a one time thing but the real benefits come from a daily routine and practice. This meditation hopes to assist the meditator some space to deepen the practice of daily meditation. One breath at a time.

Years and years of negative thought patterns have programmed our mind to think a certain way and eventually it just becomes our personality, how we see the world. If we want to reprogram our minds to think a different way, first we must notice them and have the presence of mind to stop ourselves when we slip into those patterns and replace them with more productive thoughts. This meditation hopes to help the meditator do just that by focusing, as always, on our breath. One breath at a time.

The chaos of daily life often leads to distraction, worry, anxiety, depression and this chaos makes it so easy to forget that the only time we actually have in life, is the present moment. This mediation aims to help the meditator rejoin the present moment through breath and stillness. One breath at a time.

Very often we feel like we cannot take a break so when we do take a break, we beat ourselves up for it later. This meditation hopes to help the meditator that we can't burn the candle from both ends all the time. We need a break. We need to unplug from time to time just to reset and rebalance ourselves for the next thing that comes our way. Come unplug with us for a few minutes. One breath at a time.
