Quieting your mind and body

You can sit in a tree and meditate if you want!

There are no rules with meditation

Just give yourself permission to chill for a few minutes! No one needs to meditate, but it can help everyone that chooses to do it. 

There is also the idea that we have to stop thinking when we meditate. Good luck with that one! Even experienced meditators have thoughts come into their heads while meditating. Just let them float on by!

Here is Judy meditating by a stream in Sedona. This may not work for everyone, but to each his own and there is no wrong way… Do it your way!

Who needs to meditate?

No one does, but it can help everyone that chooses to do it. Meditation is not just for people that need to calm down.

There are many benefits! 

  • Stress reduction 

  • Better focus

  • Management of negative emotions

  • Greater patience 

  • More open pathways for creativity

  • Pain reduction

  • More restful sleep 

  • Anti-aging

Even experienced meditators have thoughts come into their heads while meditating.

Once you are settled, if a thought comes into your head, just let it float through and fly back out the other side. Acknowledge it, but don’t put any focus on it. Just maintain your focus on whatever you choose to focus on as you meditate.

Once you become accustomed to breathing in and relaxing in this state, you can step aside anytime and just take yourself out of the mix of crazy for a few minutes to allow your body to reset. This gives your brain a break and lets you look at the world from a wider perspective, giving you another avenue for solving whatever you are up against in the moment. It can be very freeing! If you like, challenge yourself with creating this habit!

Do you have any experience with meditation?

Some people prefer sitting straight up and focusing on their breath, while others prefer a walking meditation. Some sit cross-legged on the floor and use a mantra, and some focus on a visual stimulus. This practice is flexible, and what works for one person may not be exactly what works for someone else. 

The important thing is that you allow yourself to relax enough into a very comfortable state of peace, where you can commune directly with your inner being.

Meditation doesn’t put you to sleep. It rejuvenates you!

Opening to the wisdom of the universe and allowing ourselves to leave the "thinking" part of our brain rest, gives us a boost. Some people expect to be a little tired, as if they have come out of a nap, but instead find themselves supercharged after meditation.

Practice makes perfect. The amount of time you spend meditating each day is up to you, but 10-20 minutes morning and night is a great way to start. Research has been published to show that  12 minutes of meditation, 5 days a week can protect and strengthen our ability to pay attention.

Meditation tips

  1. Find a special place to practice every day.

  2. Choose peaceful quiet or background music.

  3. Find the spot in the middle of your head where there is nothing. It is there. Find it and focus on it. Stay with it regardless of what comes up. If there is sound around you or you have another thought, it's okay to be aware of it, but center your thought on the "nothing."

  4. As you remain focused, you will find that at some point that everything around that spot will open up and feel “fuzzy”. Stay in the fuzzy space and enjoy the feeling of just being.

  5. Start with a practice of five minutes and gradually increase the time you spend.

  6. Practice morning and night every day. The more you do it the easier it becomes. Soon you will be able to go there just by one thought or a couple of breaths.

Judy consistently taps into beautiful truths about the nature of living life guided by spirit. Thank you Judy for your generosity and devotion to this important work.

Judy hosts a Sunday night online meditation which I look forward to each week. She picks a theme based on whatever seems to be the important matter of the current times, or it could be more specific to what is coming through from her clients. Judy has a caring introspection to share during these meditations and offers us the chance to go in and reflect on these themes ourselves. It is a wonderful and diverse group as well that gathers for the Zoom meet, with many who work with healing energy and music. Playing ancestral flute music for this group and has deepened my own connection and self-discovery of what it means to play this timeless instrument, with heart-felt gratitude.
