I'm going to be. Hello everyone. Welcome to this episode of Sleep and Relax ASMR.

This episode we are figuring out how to meditate. The goal of

meditation is to focus and understand your mind, eventually reaching a high level of awareness and inner calm.

Meditation, of course, is an ancient practice, but scientists are still discovering all of its benefits.

Neuroologists have found that regular meditation actually changes your brain in ways that can

help you to control emotions, enhance concentration, decrease stress, and even become

more connected to those around you. There are many different ways to meditate so if one practice doesn't seem to work for you

before you give up consider trying a different type that works.

Meditation or general mindfulness is something that I struggle with. It's probably something that many of us struggle with. It's probably something that many of us struggle with, but I do think it's

important to be able to have moments to yourself and to recalibrate. In increasingly connected world I find it becomes increasingly

more difficult to kind of stop, plan out our next steps. So with that, let's learn a few ways we may be able to start meditating.

So, part one really is preparing for meditation.

So number one, think about what you want to achieve with your meditation.

People come to meditation for a wide range of reasons,

whether to improve their creativity, help visualize a goal, quiet, they're in chatter, or make a spiritual connection.

If your only goals to spend a few minutes every day being present in your body without worrying about everything you have to do,

that's reason enough to meditate.

So try not to overcomplicate your reasons for meditating.

At its core, meditation is just about relaxing and

refusing to be caught up in everyday anxieties. So that is really the

foundation for your mindfulness or meditation practices.

It just has to be any reason that really resonates with you.
