Welcome to Learn to Meditate!

This is one of our latest guided meditations for the mental health series which we put together for you to receive some relief to the symptoms you maybe suffering with at the moment.

About me:

Around 12 years ago i was suffering with severe anxiety along with constant daily depressive thoughts and i really did not know what to do or where to turn, but i most surely wanted it to end.

Medication was available to me but i found after a short while of taking the prescription drugs, they had little desired effect on my mind. Instead temporarily masking my issues, they ultimately but did not deal with my underlying inner turmoil which i was battling from, this is where I was introduced to meditation and it changed my life in so many ways for the better. Now i am here helping others on their journey to self healing. It's crazy when you look back to who you were and where you are now, reflecting on what you have become in the process.

Healing comes from within!

**If you are not familiar with how to meditate, please read below****

Please note, you may feel some emotional release during or after the meditation, do not worry, it's is all apart of the healing process. With regular practice you will find you move closer and closer to feeling the inner peace you seek.

I have listed below a brief step by step guide for you to follow if you are not aware of posture, setting and breathwork.

(We advise wearing headphones to get the best effect and to prevent any unwanted distractions)

Step by Step Guide

• Positioning: Find a comfortable position, you may either lie on a bed, sit on a chair or if you prefer sit on the floor with a cushion. Make sure your head and back are straight, alignment is very important. Try your best to remain as still as possible, make sure you are not in any discomfort, if you are in any physical pain throughout the experience please stop or re adjust to a posture more suitable for you.
• Alignment: Place your hands by your side, index finger and thumb joined together or if you are in the seated position place your hands on your lap index finger and thumb joined together, palms facing upwards.
• Breathwork: Proceed to inhale through the nose and exhale out through the nose. Focus primarily on the breath inhaling for the mental count of 5 and exhale for mental count of 5, ignore any mind chatter that arises during this process as those thoughts will eventually pass provided you maintain focus. The objective is to bring the mind into a more calm and relaxed state, practice this for a minimum of 21 days and you will find the meditative process becomes much easier for you to manage.
