Breathe Right, Live Right

When the breath wanders the mind is also unsteady. 
But when the breath is calmed the mind, too, will be still.
 - Svatmarama

Although breathing is one of the most vital functions of human life, it is little understood and often done improperly.  Most people breathe shallowly and haphazardly, going against the natural rhythmic movement of the body’s respiratory system.

The importance of deep, even breathing in meditation cannot be over emphasised.  Deep breathing is always a good relaxation exercise and helps to still the mind.

Deep breathing relaxes your nerves whilst meditation helps your mind to be calm.   When combining deep breathing and meditation both your mind and body get a rest.  You will feel totally refreshed and ready to take on the world again!

Breathing techniques, which are used in all types of meditation, are extremely relaxing for the nervous system.

Breathe right, live right!

Meditation - Stick To It!


A large number of people try meditation at some point in their lives.  However only a small number of people stick with it for the long term.

There are a lot of reasons why people stop meditating, one of these may well be the “I don’t have the time” factor!  But as I have mentioned previously, you need to MAKE the time to reap the rewards from meditation.

Meditation is something that anyone can choose to do.  You need to decide to practice meditation, and then nothing will stop you.

To begin, you need to select a technique that is comfortable for you and do it consistently and regularly for some time, every day.  If possible, do it at the same time every day so that it quickly becomes a habit.

In the modern world, students often become impatient easily and tend to practice meditation only for brief periods and then give up.  They conclude that there is no value in it.  This is like a child who plants a seed and is frustrated when there is no growth in a week!

You will definitely experience benefits and see progress if you meditate regularly.  At first, you may notice progress with immediate physical relaxation and calmness.  Later you may notice other benefits such as good health, happiness and joy.

So remember that just as it takes a while for a seed to sprout, it also may take a while for you to reap the benefits of meditation, but they WILL come! Just stick to it.

Remember – we always have enough time for what is important to us.
