MEDITATIONS IN ACTION

Basic Sitting Meditation

Find a quiet and comfortable space where you won’t be interrupted. Set your phone on “Do Not Disturb” and set yourself up for a sacred meditation. Sit upright from your firm support while staying relaxed. Light a candle if you want a visual aid to stay focused. You can also use some incense or special relaxing aroma.Add anything you find meaningful to your altar, such as flowers, shells, special rocks, tree bark, pinecones, pictures of people you love or teachers you respect. Sip some water or tea before you start and maybe read an inspiring quote or say a prayer. The altar setting and the preparation before you start enhance the sacredness of the moment.
