Our digestion system and our metabolism will function only if we are calm and relaxed and chilled. Stress makes us fat!
Meditation is the new black. Getting in a few minutes of Zen is no longer delegated to hippies or vows of silence, everyone from new moms to business execs are finding the time to meditate. And the beauty is, you don’t even have to roll out your mat or prop up a pillow to reap the benefits, either: a few minutes of meditation can fit in wherever you are.
Today, we’re talking about unexpected places to Om it out in ten minutes or less.
How to meditate anywhere
On your Commute:
Okay, so zooming 65mph down the highway isn’t exactly what we’re talking about, but sitting on the subway, riding the bus, and yes, even stopped in rush-hour traffic are excellent places to clear your mind and find the stillness in the rush.
At the Market:
Standing in line at the grocery store doesn’t need to be sigh-inducing experience. Take a few deep breaths and soften your gaze, not focusing on any one thing in particular. Before you know it, you’ll be out of the line and through the door.
On the Flight:
You’re sitting on a cushiony seat, floating miles above the sky - sounds like a recipe for meditative success to us. The buzzing of the plane engine can be just the right kind of “white noise” to get you into the zone no matter who is in the seat next to you.
At a Party:
Whether you’re an extrovert to the max or introverted to the core, carving out a couple minutes to get centered while at a big shindig can make the whole experience more enjoyable and fulfilling. You can do this one of two ways. Either mindfully meditate while standing to the side and “people watching,” or our personal fave, you can steal away to the restroom (yes, really) for a few moments alone to find your center. Trust us on this one – taking the time to yourself in the middle of the hubbub makes for the most fun experience, and opens you up to all kinds of new connections.
Enjoy your meditation and calm down.
