Five Minute Meditation

Studies show that as little as 2-5 minutes of daily meditation can reduce stress, control anxiety, enhance self awareness, lengthen attention span, improve sleep, and improve memory function.

1. Find a quiet place where you can lay on the ground with a yoga mat, blanket, or towel.

2. Lie on the ground with your feet hips distance apart, arms relaxed alongside your body, and your palms facing towards the sky.

3. Close your eyes and begin to breathe deeply, letting go of any tension in your body.

4. As you inhale, feel the cool air move through your sinuses, down your throat, and into your lungs. Feel your lungs fill with air and feel your chest rise.

5. As you exhale, notice the warm air leave your lungs and exit through your nostrils.

6. Spend a few minutes here, observing the sensations of your body and breath.

7. After 5 minutes, open your eyes and notice how you feel.
