Sitting Meditation

As part of my overall training I do about ten minutes of sitting meditation each day.

I do it for two reasons;

1. it enables me to calm my mind
2. it gives my wonky knees a rest from the more physical training I do

When I do this meditation I spend two minutes on the ‘inner smile’, three minutes on ‘dissolving’ and five minutes on focusing on my tan tien.

Here’s how to do it;

1. sit on the edge of the chair
2. relax the shoulders
3. Imagine a string attached to your head, gently pulling you straight up
4. feet shoulder width apart and flat on the flloor
5. Hands resting on the knees
6. Breathe slowly, deeply and comfortably

Although I combine my sitting meditation with other techniques,  it is okay to sit there and just meditate.

Have a go and let me know how you feel afterwards.
