There are easy ways to meditate in literally any situation you find yourself.
There are times when you feel your energy all but disappear or find yourself so tense from stress that you can't think clearly to get through the day.
In these situations there are many benefits to meditation.
It will ease the tension from your body and clear your mind to think straight.
It can even give a physical bolt of energy and clarity.
You can meditate anywhere you find yourself, at any hour of the day, and regardless of who else may be around you.
There are no hard and fast rules, but you have to pay attention to your posture and your breathing to get the benefits.
The first step is to find the quietest location and get into the most comfortable position possible.
You don't have to get on the floor and cross your legs.
Just sitting in a chair and relaxing all of your muscles is adequate.
Your posture must be upright with your head held high.
Focus on straightening your spine so you sit up tall, roll your shoulders back and relax so that the air can pass easily through your body.
Your eyes should close or focus straight ahead, sort of narrowed in just a little.
To ensure you control your breathing properly, focus on a pattern and count.
One common pattern is to slowly inhale for eight counts, hold for eight more counts, and then release for eight counts.
This slow, deliberate breathing is what will deliver the benefits you seek.
The process of straightening the spine and controlling your breathing with your eyes focused is the foundation of simple meditation.
You can include a word or sound that is motivating or relaxing for you, even if you cannot speak it out loud.
Either repeat over and over throughout your breathing or just use it at the top of your breath before you hold and exhale.
You can use these easy ways to meditate literally anywhere.
It can be changed up according to your situation and positions available, and others do not have to know what you are doing.
