Below are four simple meditation techniques that can make all the difference when you’re feeling stressed and anxious:
Deep breathing- Inhale slowly through your nose and exhale slowly. Clear your mind of all other thoughts and focus only on the breaths you are taking.
Sense your body- Close your eyes and visualize yourself and the various parts of your body that feel tired or are in pain.
Repeat a word or phrase- Repeating a comforting phrase or word out loud can help comfort and relieve tension.
Focus- Clear your mind by focusing on an object, image or sound that you find appealing or relaxing. It may be difficult at first but if you manage to focus all your energy on something soothing for a few minutes it can help clear your mind.
