This is very understandable for busy professionals. Travel and busyness make it hard for self care. Having surmounted this challenge many years ago, we will help you find opportunities and methods to meditate like while on a flight, in a taxi or on public transport. With an open mind and motivation, very soon you will turn around such static time to blissful opportunities for yourself to manifest great benefits.
Most beginners face this issue. While some traditional approaches require you to sit still and concentrate, there are many simple techniques and tools that will help you relax and enjoy the experience. Very soon, you might even want to keep going for a little bit longer…
The key is to start with the self. What works well for you? What comes easily and comfortably? What are the benefits that you wish to realise? We can work with you to shape an approach based on your persona, your lifestyle and your long-term objectives. Soon, you will have a repertoire of your favourite meditations and knowledge of which ones to use for which situation.
Meditation is a very broad term. There are many schools, teachers, tools, techniques and methods. Some people are passionate about a specific method that they loved and introduce to others. The key is to start with the self. Let’s understand the benefits you wish to realise, your lifestyle, preferences, challenges and any conditions you may be managing. Drawing on the vast universe of knowledge, we can help you to find what works for you and to progressively draw benefits from an enjoyable routine.
This is a very understandable challenge for most beginners. It is a common myth that one needs to be in a meditation studio or in a private space to meditate. The truth is there are plenty of opportunities – one just needs to find them with a little creativity. For example, one can blissfully meditate on a plane ride with many people around them.
Like any positive change, it will take patience with commitment. Most of all, it needs to be enjoyable. With gentle coaching, support and access to the right tools, you will soon look forward to your time with yourself. Like the masters say, “The journey inward is the most fulfilling.”
Meditation is to the mind and soul, what exercise is to the body. Just as one needs to enjoy exercise and build a disciplined routine, to realise the benefits, so should they choose meditations that are appropriate for their circumstances and stage in their journey.
It is a huge myth that one can meditate only in specific positions. The key is to take your mind to Alpha (mostly) and sometimes to Theta or Delta states. Your body needs to be comfortable, yet not so comfortable that you fall asleep. With practice, you will find some favourite positions that will help you enjoy your practice and want to keep going!
Recognising the challenge is a great first step. Seeking help and finding a coach are the next big steps. We will start with understanding your situation, persona and objectives. Then we will together build your practice. All we ask for is an open mind and your commitment to what could be a very rewarding journey for you.
