How to Meditate 🙏🏼

Meditation is a practice that can benefit your health and wellness in so many ways. I’ve been trying to meditate more lately, so I was inspired to make a basic how to meditate video focusing on creating beautiful visuals and experimenting with ways I can improve my craft. Do you meditate? I’m curious to know why you meditate and how it’s affected your life :)

when I was little, since I couldn't sleep, I found that focusing on my breath could make me fall asleep quite quickly, so now It's kinda tricky if I want to meditate, cause i'll tend to fall asleep lmao

Meditating is easy. I can do it with my eyes closed.

I've never tried meditation while sitting down, but what I've always done is when I'm about to sleep, I just lay down and completely clear my mind and focus on keeping it clear. Minutes later I would feel like I'm floating off my bed and my head feels like someone is giving me a head massage. Feels really good and helps me sleep very quickly.

I love this woman she helped me through one of my darkest days of this pandemic. Honestly I am almost certain she saved my life

Meditation is one of my daily practices, and I always learn so much from it. Be it gaining discipline, feel more calm, control my emotions, be more open, or get in touch with my essence. It's incredibly good to feel at peace and enhance creativity. I reccommend it to everyone!

For once I dont know if it is "meditation" or not, I'm just a ten year old, I'm not some kind of monk. But once when I was trying to calm my mind by the way my mom taught me, "feel like your sitting by the ocean, feel the motion of the waves and don't think of anything." And once, when I tried that, in my mind, it felt like when I was "sitting by the ocean", a bird flew out of nowhere! I wasn't even thinking about a bird! And after that, I felt, more.. Umm.. How should I explain this.. Like... Calm and can think more easily? That is the most suitable way to describe it for me, srry if your confused😅

Let me know what you think of the meditation in the comments!

[georgerobert]

WOAH!!!! It made me feel like I was spinning around on a chair and then just drifted into outer space. I tried my hardest to focus on the breathing and I did it. This lasted about 25 minutes

[DorisWanjiku]

Never tried meditating...I want to try it after I went through the dreamlifeseries. My life is super chaotic with kids and trying to rebuild my life so something calming is awesome to try.

[reelshots]

I love meditation. It takes me away from the normalities of every day life.

[okayyfine]

I'm here because my thoughts are a serious chaotic mess.

[blackheartgaming]

I started meditation a while back but now I’m seriously into it and I’m feeling much better I’m not really tired or hurting all that much anymore and I just want to say that it’s awesome seeing so many others being peaceful to others and themselves

[iInspireSuccess]

I have literally meditated twice and already feel somewhat at peace like I feel so abundant right now and I'm appreciative of it and I thank you for your video truly remarkable

[MoniqueTschachtli]

I've been meditating daily for about 60 days and it makes such a big difference in my mood and focus during the day! By the way, I really love your videos!
