We don't always have time
for a massage, a hot bath, or a yoga class, but we can all find five minutes in
the day to rejuvenate with a quick meditation.
Whether you need to
mentally prepare for a busy day, wind down from a stressful meeting, or get
ready for the frustrating commute home (I know I do!), this quick meditation
exercise will center and relax you right at your desk!
- Sit in your chair with your back straight.
- Keep your chest lifted with your shoulders relaxed.
- Focus on staying centered and comfortable.
- Set your watch timer or computer task reminder for five minutes.
- Relax your legs with your feet firmly planted on the floor.
- Place your palms on your knees or thighs.
- Breathe.
- Follow the natural rhythm of your breath as you inhale and exhale.
- Focus on what your breath feels like coming in and out of your nose.
- Focus on how your lungs feel as they begin to fill.
- Feel your abdomen rise and fall.
- Try not to attach any feelings to your breath; just "watch" it.
- Even after the timer goes off, try to keep this feeling with you throughout your day, or at least know that a healing relaxation is only five minutes away.
