❁ Introducing #Meditationmonday

Kick off your week with meditation! #meditationmondays

Hard work and sacrifice is something that the Lila community strives on but the idea of self-care tends to be forgotten. The importance to take the time to be aware of your mind and body and what is exhausting you physically and mentally is crucial to living a healthier life.

Mediation has many benefits as if is something of a mental balancing act. Meditation can help us embrace our worries, our fear, our anger; all of this is the process of healing. We let our own natural capacity of healing do the work.

Deep breathing slows the heartbeat, relaxes the muscles, focuses the mind and is a great way to start meditation. If this is your first time trying meditation, you can begin with a simple breathing exercise!

1) Take a deep breath

2) Hold your breath for a few seconds

3) Take a deep exhalation

During the breathing, pay attention to the sensations you are feeling, imagine when you breathe in, the air flow that enters into your nose, then when you hold your breath imagine the air is distributed throughout your body and when you exhale imagine the air coming out of your mouth.
