For the 5th month of the year, we’d like to introduce you to 5 great new May-ditation techniques to try out!
1. Body Scan meditation
- Also known as progressive relaxation
- Option 1: Slowly tightening and relax one muscle group at a time throughout the body from top to bottom, or vice versa
- Option 2: Imagine each part of your body fully relaxing, from the top of your head to the tips of your toes. Relax your eyebrows, relax your jaw and let your mouth open slightly, relax your neck muscles, imagine your head sinking further into the pillow, etc.
- TIP: Imagine a gentle wave flowing through you
2. Visualisation relaxation
- Positive scenes, images, or figures that will relax you or motivate you
- Use all 5 senses to visualise yourself wherever you want to be
- Can imagine a person with you, exploring a familiar scene
- Imagine yourself successfully achieving your goals and desires
- Very similar to manifesting positive outcomes for your life
3. Mindfulness meditation
- Pay attention to your thoughts as they pass through. Don’t interact with them, just acknowledge and move on
- Concentration with awareness -> focus on an object or your breath
- Can be guided or not. For guided mindfulness meditation, check out Headspace
- TIP: imagine your thoughts are like clouds passing through as you lie down and stare at the sky
4. Movement meditation
- Any meditative thought process with movement
- Walking, gardening, qi gong, tai chi, yoga
- Movement guides you deeper into meditation
- Helps connect your body and present moment
- Develops proprioception and body awareness
