Meditation - relaxing the mind

I shared the following email with my campers today and thought I would add it to my blog. We all get stressed at times and meditation is a great way to relieve stress, along with exercise.

Enjoy...

Hello Campers!

Try this tonight or another night.....

Try meditating.....

Go into your room, make it as dark as you can. Try to get rid of any noise (TV, Radio, ask kids to be quiet)....

Get comfy either lying in your bed or sitting in a chair or sitting indian style on your bed.

Close your eyes and just breath....feel yourself breath in and breath out....just concentrate on your breath. The other thing you can do is say something over and over again so your mind will not wonder (which you will notice it will do). You can also play music, the soothing kind with no words.

Do this for 10 minutes, the the next time try 15...then 20, 30 and 60 minutes. You will be amazed how much this will do for you. Relaxing the mind and giving your mind some relief from everything that goes on inside of it, that is powerful.

So, give it a try! Enjoy and relax the mind.
