Be Here Now

Meditation is the eye of the storm, it's a place to find shelter and rest within the storm of life. Movement and stillness are both equally important in finding balance. Meditation is the silence between the notes of a song for Beethoven or the space between the movement for a runner. In meditation you set aside time to move your awareness from the small self outside the body to the vastness of the space and freedom within.

A short meditation to practice:

As you breathe, your attention can consume your whole body or only a small portion of it. You can practice this in a simple three breath meditation.

Take in three deep breaths: 
Begin by sitting up and pushing out as much air as you can until the next breath comes in naturally, this is your first breath. 
1) Breathe from your toes, noticing your toes as you breathe in and out. 
2) Breathe from your fingers, noticing your fingers as you breathe in and out.
3) Breathe from your ears, noticing your ears as you breathe in and out. 

You are free to take up as much space as you need to breathe, stretch and relax.
