Pamper Yourself: Meditate
 
Let’s talk about pampering yourself… meditating.
 
[From Laura] 
As a Yoga Teacher, I have taught meditation for over 30 years. I can tell you that most people misunderstand what meditation is.
 
It’s not about sitting and not thinking, it’s about finally becoming aware of the thoughts you are having so you can upgrade them.
 
It’s about being able to control your thoughts rather than them controlling you.
 
It’s about being able to be quiet with yourself.
 
It isn’t nearly as fancy as people think it is. It really is just sitting quietly and helping your brain focus.
 
My main recommendations for people who want to begin meditating is:
  1. Start slow: Just a few minutes and build as you get stronger. Meditation is like exercise but your brain is the  muscle you are working. The more you do it, the easier it becomes.
  2. Set up your environment: You can set up for success by creating an environment that is more conducive to concentration. Sounds of the ocean, essential oils, quiet room, etc. Whatever helps you relax.
 
You can also use guided meditation so you have someone else talk you through it. We have suggestions below!

Looking for one product that is easy? You can get Stress Away either in a roller bottle (so you can stick it in your purse and have it with you always) or get it in an essential oil bottle to put it in your diffuser or make your own rollers…
