Calming meditation for a crazy day…
Calming meditation is key to finding peace. It calms you, gives you a connection to Spirit that so many are seeking. Meditation can induce a heightened state of awareness and focused attention. Many studies demonstrate the practice can help relieve stress — as well as manage anxiety, reduce inflammation, and improve memory.
You often hear people suggesting that you should meditate. In fact you probably have found that you are at a loss where to start. I sometimes find this simple meditation an easy way to calm me when I find myself in a stressful situation.
Simple Calming Meditation
The next time you are stressed, give this simple calming meditation a try.

Repeat as needed. You can do it walking, sitting, or laying in bed. I often use it in the shower after a long day. However it works for you best, by all means use it.
Why Meditate?
A meditative practice helps to “optimize” how the brain uses resources. The more you practice meditation the easier it becomes. Meditation helps improve connectivity by letting different brain regions communicate faster and more efficiently. By controlling your attention as you meditate — you feel more relaxed and at peace with the world. As a result, you learn how to respond, rather than react, to situations in your life.
It may be just what you need! If it doesn’t work for you there are so many guided meditations on YouTube or in iTunes. Keep trying until you find the right fit for you.
