In this episode of Love Always, Self, Karista & Shyra discuss the power of meditation, the benefits of meditation on your body, mind, and spirit, different types of meditation, and how to start incorporating meditation into your daily routine. 

Benefits of Meditation:

• Improved metabolism

• Improved oxygenation
• Reduced stress hormones, like cortisol & lactate
• Decreased free radicals
• Decreased depression
• Decreased anxiety
• Improved memory and cognitive abilities
• Increased creativity
• An elevated sense of wellbeing
• Increased self-awareness and self-actualization

You can start meditating for free, in the comfort of your own home.  Simply find a quiet place to just be. Connect with your breath, the feeling of the air entering your body, and follow the path of the breath on the inhale and exhale. Allow the exhale to carry away any tension, stress, or anxiety.  Breath in peace, joy, comfort, and love. You are safe here to just be. If thoughts arise, just watch with wonder as they float up and away, allowing yourself to observe yourself without judgment or attachment to the thoughts. Spend as much time here as you want or can be permitted. Enjoy this peaceful reset and recentering.
