Meditation Life Skills Podcast

Begin this meditation while still lying in bed before ultimately awakening. Take a moment to feel your body resting on the bed, enjoying the feel of the sheet, the pillow, the comfort you are experiencing, and the beauty of waking up slowly. What a beautiful morning this is.
Take a deep breath through your nose. Hold your breath at the top, and when you're ready, exhale a long audible sigh giving your body a stretch as you let it go.
Let your breath be gentle as you allow yourself, still with your eyes closed, to slowly bring your body up into a seated position in your bed. Take your time. There is no rush. The timing is working out perfectly for you. Once you sit up nice and straight, let your shoulders roll back slightly to open your chest.
Let your Heart's energy center open up as you rest your palms in your lap, facing upwards, and let your spine be tall and straight. As you take a deep breath in and feel your abdomen expand. Hold your breath at the top and when you're ready. Exhale. With a long audible sigh. Ah, very good.
Now return to breathing slowly and gently this time, cycling your breath through your nose and out through your mouth at a good pace. As you begin to feel your body waking up, becoming more aware, feeling open, and ready for a beautiful day, say thank you out loud or in your mind for another day.
Let gratitude flood your entire being. As you recognize this moment, let yourself feel willing, open, and ready to experience a beautiful day.
Consider how you desire to feel today and let yourself feel those emotions. Confirm that you are ready to experience the emotions you desire to share today. You are open and willing to receive them.
Breathe deeply through your nose, holding your breath at the top, letting these feelings build. And as you exhale with a sigh, gently roll your shoulders.
Wiggle your fingers and toes, and gently open your eyes to the room around you when ready. Ready to embrace another beautiful day.You can meditate at any time. However, forming a habit first thing in the morning will make it stick. Meditation is like a seed. When you cultivate a source with love, the more it blossoms.

How Meditation Music Can Boost Your Mood And Health
Music has been proven to improve your mood, cognitive capacities, and physical well-being. Music is a vital component of everyday life and should not be overlooked. Mental and physical well-being have also been demonstrated to improve with meditation. 
Please listen to this mp3 at a low volume. Use it for your personal daily meditation practice, in your car, or as background music as you work. This music does not contain Subliminals, Isochronic, Binaural Beats, or any other types of frequencies. Just beautiful relaxing meditation music.
So, consider the potential benefits of including music in your meditation routine. Listening to meditation music can have a profound impact on both your personal life and your meditation practice.
How does listening to meditation music improve your mood? 
Think about how music impacts your emotions in general. You may want to dance and smile when a piece of energetic music is playing on the radio.
You may feel nostalgic when a song like the national anthem is played on a public occasion. During a memorial service, though, you may find yourself in a state of mourning. These scenarios serve as powerful examples of the transformative power of music.
Listening to meditation music is no different from other forms of music. It can induce a meditative state in both body and mind. Music for meditation can be found in a range of styles.
There is various meditation music, including nature, musical instruments, and a church choir. There are some soothing notes here that can help you relax and enter a meditative state when you're feeling overwhelmed by your busy life.
In addition to clearing your mind of negativity and depression, listening to meditation music can help in other areas of your life. Meditative music, mantras, and pictures might help you focus on the brighter side of your life. Your brain chemistry can benefit from this imagery and deep breathing techniques while listening to the music.
What is the effect of meditation music on your cognitive abilities? 
Stressed people are more likely to lose track of things like their keys. Overreacting and not thinking through a matter properly might happen when stressed out.
Acquiring and remembering information is tricky since your mind is stretched in a million directions. Confusion prevents you from making sound judgments and having fun with your life. With the help of meditation music, you can relax and clear your mind of these burdens.
Meditation music affects your brainwaves.
Electrical potentials or impulses generated by brain tissue are known as brain waves. Each of these pulses has its own frequency. When you're awake and alert, your brain wave frequencies are faster. You might listen to meditation music that lowers your brainwave frequencies to induce a meditative state.
Your body relaxes because of the soothing effects of meditation music
In the beginning, let's look at the soundtracks in movies. Music has a powerful impact on filmmaking. When watching a horror film, the music plays a huge role since it raises your heart rate and tension. On the other hand, music with uplifting tunes and funny lines relaxes your body and mind.
Meditation music is a type of slow, meditative music
This soothing music provides calming messages to your body. Relaxing your muscles You inhale and exhale more slowly, and your lungs fill with oxygen. Music that is too fast or obnoxious won't bother or frighten you. Reduces tension and distracting thoughts by playing soothing music during meditation.
Meditation Music: What to Look for
Silence or ambient sound may be your preferred meditation companion, depending on your own personal taste and meditation goals. Alternatively, you might employ meditation music as a soundtrack to your practice.
Meditation music can be helpful when there is a lot of noise around. The noises of traffic, children playing outdoors, or a nearby construction project could be disrupting your meditation, for example. Alternatively, you may want to be lulled into a peaceful meditative state by music.
Putting on music while meditating with friends or family might be a simple way to enhance your experience. If your meditation group includes youngsters, soft music may help keep them focused and less likely to wander off.
It's all up to you what kind of music you play.
Although I have no idea how they do it, some folks even manage to meditate while listening to heavy metal music!
Natural instruments such as acoustic guitars, flutes, and the like are commonly used in meditation music. However, electronic devices can be used in some current meditation music. Don't be afraid to listen to a sample before you buy something.
It's also a good idea to look into whether the music contains binaural or brainwave rhythms. Listening to music with binaural beats can significantly enhance your meditative experience since they make it much easier to enter a trance-like frame of mind.
It's worth a try if you've never meditated with music playing in the background. There is a chance that you will be pleased with the outcome. It doesn't matter if you don't care to listen to meditation music in your practice; at least you tried it!
 

A direct, straightforward approach to how to experience the present moment in our everyday lives and a way to practice from renowned spiritual teacher Alan Watts.
The Easiest Way To Get Into The Meditative State
Instead of trying to control your thoughts, notice them. Observe them. Are they happy, positive thoughts? Or are they harmful, depressing thoughts?
One of the others isn't bad. It's essential to observe them. Think of yourself sitting on a mountain by the highway and your thoughts being cars that go by.
 
The main thing I learned from the Alan Watts meditation trick is that meditation is an experience, not a task. It's about spending time alone with your thoughts without any judgment. This quick Alan Watts meditation should help you understand what is happening inside you.
If done overtime consistently, you can learn to be less judgmental of yourself and others. You don't want to get too attached to anyone's negative thoughts.
Your increased awareness can help you tons throughout the rest of your day. The next time you have a big meeting at work or a date with someone special, you can observe your thoughts.
"Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment. And therefore, if you meditate for an ulterior motive — that is to say, to improve your mind, to improve your character, to be more efficient in life — you've got your eye on the future and you are not meditating!" - Alan Watts

What is a white light meditation, and how does it work?
In Sanskrit as Jyoti Dhyana, white light meditation is an intense meditation practice that helps you benefit from your body's natural healing capacity and wellness potential. Regularly engaging in this white light meditation practice assists you in becoming more aware of the genuine nature of your spirit, soul, and inner self.
The use of white light during meditation is becoming increasingly common. It's a mood booster that you can take practically anywhere.
I highly recommend practicing this technique if you have a few spare minutes throughout the day. It will allow you to spend extra minutes in guided white light meditation.
Pure white light is a potent energy source because of its purity and brightness. When you experience something as a result of your meditation, embrace it. This light might serve as an additional tool to help you better understand yourself.
Begin White Light Meditation Script
This is a white light meditation. And this meditation, we will be using a pure form of energy that will absorb all your negative emotions, attachments, feelings of anxiety, and stress. And you will be feeling relaxed by the end of this.
The light that we are going to be using is the purest form of energy that came straight from the Big Bang. 13 point 8 billion years ago, there was an explosion of energy. And everything that you can see around you, in this physical reality, is from that original explosion 13 point 8 billion years ago. Everything you see is simply an expression of energy clustered together differently by gravity.
This purest form of energy resides in everyone and everything. And we will be activating this pure energy within your body to allow it to push out all negative emotions.
So, first of all, I want you to focus on my voice. You need to focus on nothing else other than what I'm saying right now. I will guide you through a visual meditation to allow your mind and body to find their reset button. So you can see that balance again in your life.
First of all, I want you to imagine this purest form of white energy within you, inside your stomach, this white energy is love. Everything about it is good. There is nothing about this energy that has any negativity attached to it. It is pure goodness, it is healing energy.
This energy is slowly moving down your legs into your feet. You may start to feel your feet tingling, you may begin to feel a sensation. This will release the tension in your feet, your toes, and your ankles, and your feet will slowly feel more at ease and less tense. They're going to feel more and more relaxed.
The longer you imagine this white energy within your feet flowing around, all the veins getting to the end of your toes, circulating around and around, cleaning out all this negative energy from your feet.
This white energy moves up into your calf muscles and shin bones. The lower part of your leg it's expanding from top to bottom. This energy allows your calf muscles to feel at ease. The tension is slowly fading, and the bottom half of your legs feel more relaxed.
The white energy is now moving into your thighs, hamstrings, and quadriceps muscles. This white energy is intensely cleaning out all the negativity from your upper legs. Our upper legs tend to feel a lot of tension and stress, especially at the end of the day when we've been on our feet all day. That's where we hold a lot of this negative energy.
This white energy, pure goodness, will absorb it for you. It will eradicate every part of badness you can feel within your upper legs. And all that will be left is this feeling of relaxation, you may also start to feel tingling in this part of your body. And if you do, that's a sign that this energy is doing what it needs to do.
Now the energy is moving up into your hips, into your abdominal muscles, and up the lower part of your back. That area is swirling around like water and a washing machine around and around and around and around like a whirlpool in the ocean.
And the more it spins, the cleaner the lower part of your belly becomes clean in terms of cleansing, the negative emotions, anxieties, worries, the butterfly feelings that we get in this part of our body are slowly beginning to become less tense. And more and more, and more relaxed. And you're starting to feel good. Thanks to this beautiful white light.
Now we're moving up to your shoulders and upper back. And your neck tends to be a lot of tension in this area. And this is where our bodies struggle quite a lot from time to time, especially if we've had a stormy night's sleep and slept on our backs funny. Or if you've been working hard all day, carrying things if you're a builder, or if you have to carry heavy loads, you'll feel it in this part of your body.
This energy is going to flow around this area like a diamond. Starting from your neck, it will move down into your left shoulder, which will then move into your upper back, over to your right shoulder, and back up into your neck like a diamond.
And I want you to imagine this white light moving in that way, cleansing the area, releasing the tension, the more and more times this white light moves around this diamond shape, the more you feel the pressure going, and it becomes less and less, and less. And these pains and aches are relieving themselves, finally.
And you may start to feel a little emotional at this point because we hold on to these tensions for a long time, sometimes without realizing it, because we don't allow ourselves to have time to release these negative energies. When we allow ourselves this time, it has a lot of health benefits.
And you'll start to notice many positive things about your physical performance throughout the day. Keep imagining this white light momentarily, moving around like a diamond. I want you to start imagining the morning, picking up the pace a bit and getting a bit more intense in a smooth way. Do you feel that do you think that relaxation? Good. Now this area is thoroughly cleaned.
Now we're moving up into an essential part of your body, the mind. This is an area that many people struggle with in life. But it's an area that if we can get on top of them, we can become highly successful in our lives.
And this meditation will help you get on top of your mind and feel like you're in control again. I want you to imagine the washing machine motion again, swirling throughout your mind. Cleaning all the negative thoughts, all the overthinking, all the sadness, all the limiting beliefs. All of them are being cleansed. And all that's left is the purest form of you.
Keep imagining that washing machine motion. Round, and round, and round, and round. You might even start feeling happy after this meditation because the mind is good at holding on to things that don't serve us. So this meditation will help you to let go. This visual meditation is going to be very powerful for you. And by the end of it, you'll feel like you're in a great mental space.
Feel that emotion. You're starting to feel good again. You're starting to feel like the real you again.
Thank you for allowing yourself to have this time to heal. This is a healing meditation. I hope you have a wonderful day.
End Of White Light Meditation Script
I've finally seen the light. What now?
It's all up to you and what you want to achieve. Many people with third-eye experiences have regretted opening it after seeing the lights. Although these experiences are rare, most people who have them do so out of curiosity and gratitude.
Whether you practice traditional or New Age meditation, the goal is to experience a sense of illumination. Think of it like this: A meditator may utilize Buddhist visualization techniques to see the light as an expression that alleviates the suffering of all living creatures, bringing permanent happiness to those who receive it.
Intense meditation can create light visions as a side effect of sensory deprivation, but deliberate visualization is different.
Tokpa Korlo, a sobriety activist and meditator, says that one of the benefits of regular mindfulness practice is the development of love and compassion for others. Meditation and other mindfulness techniques can help people better perceive and appreciate what they have right before them.
When people reach this degree of inner peace and contentment, they naturally wish to spread that happiness to others. The capability of appreciating the present moment power mindfully is a springboard for further study into the nature of the mind and how to use what we discover for the greater good effectively.
You may have a "white light experience" when practicing mindfulness or awareness meditation. If something occurs, accept it as a fact of life. Mindfulness training allows you to see the light as a mental event, note it, and return to your practice when it appears or fades away.
A white light experience can be incorporated into examining the mind for people meditating with mindfulness.
 

Because we live in such a hectic, stressful, and frequently chaotic world, being energetically out of balance is more common than not!
And the invisible world of energy plays a more significant part in how things manifest in your life than you may realize.
Put your headphones on and listen to this "Angelic Chakra Cleansing and Balancing Guided Meditation Mp3". 
Chakra Cleansing Meditation For Beginners And Understanding The Alignments In The Human Body(For Best Results, Please Use Headphones)
A Chakra cleansing meditation and the word Chakra derives from the Sanskrit word for "wheel" or "turning" energy; the meaning from the yogic discipline has a more direct translation of the word as a 'vortex or whirlpool.'
Chakras are channels in the energetic human body through which the life force energy (prana), or vital energy, moves. According to the ancient Tantric texts, these seven chakras are considered the most important ones.
The human body includes seven crucial Chakra cleansing meditation parts for beginners to understand and many more minor Chakras. At this time, it is essential for you to just focus on the primary 7 Chakras for now.
The primary understanding of the 7 Chakra cleansing meditation for beginners starts at the bottom of the backbone or the base of the spine, known as the "Root," and finishes on the top of the head and is known as the "Crown" Chakra.
Those Chakras represent the wheel of continuous revolving and rotating spiritual energy in which you can learn to balance within the human body. Chakra healing meditation and guided visualization are fundamental aspects to know about.
 

Dhammapada, or Loving-kindness meditation, is one of the two simplest meditations in Buddhism. This meditation helps bring about positive changes in practitioners' lives and helps them develop loving feelings toward all other living creatures. 
The primary purpose of Dhammapada is to cultivate love. Even though it comes from the Buddhist tradition, it can be adopted and practiced by anyone regardless of religious beliefs or affiliations. This type of meditation must be practiced without any expectations.
This truly unselfish practice results in the perfect or pure love that we are capable of. We begin with loving ourselves and then extend this pure love to include others, starting with people special to us and eventually extending it to all living things.Reflect on what you want to achieve during this meditation. With your eyes gently closed throughout the meditation, begin cultivating the feeling of loving-kindness. There are many ways to accomplish this. One way is to recall when you felt loving-kindness and try to recreate these feelings during meditation.
You can also use language that represents the feeling of loving-kindness. You can repeat phrases like "May I be free of pain and suffering" and "May I be happy, safe, and protected." Continue breathing in and out as your state these phrases and think or repeat them several times to feel the full effect. Feel the meaning of these words spread through your whole body, mind, and heart.Finally, extend your loving-kindness outward until it reaches all living things. To do this, think of different people in various locations across the globe going about their lives in multiple ways. In many ways, they act and care about the same things, and this realization should bring you closer to them and help you achieve this feeling of love toward them.
After this final stage, sit quietly for a few minutes and reflect on the experience you achieved during this meditation. Slowly become aware of your surroundings and gently return to your life in the outside world. Try to hold on to this feeling of love and well-being as you go about for the rest of the day.

Setting effective intentions for your highest good can be as powerful as you want to make them. You have the freedom and power to become whoever you want to be in your life. You can create as many intentions for your life as you want when you consciously base them on your intentions.
So many of us try to “fix” what we don’t like about how we live our lives. That’s a negative and unproductive approach to living. We primarily focus on some future event or time that takes us out of living in the present moment. What happens is that we are not living our best authentic life, and we're not enjoying each moment and not effectively creating the actual future we truly want.
To get you started manifesting your true intentions, here are some examples of clear intentions you can use or modify to get started:I intend to lead by example at work and with my children today.I intend to love all people unconditionally.I intend to stop taking what is said to me personally.I intend to manifest happiness naturally with joy and gratitude.I intend to see the goodness around me in everyone and everything.I intend to be kind even when I feel the pressure of life.I intend to make someone smile every day.I intend to forgive others and myself at all times freely.I intend to make mindfulness an essential part of each day.I intend to suspend judgment and accept life as it is now.Tips For Writing A Higher Good Intention
Affirm Only What You Want to indeed happen in your life.
Write As If It Is Happening Now in this present time.
Focus On The Feeling, and allow yourself to feel the exciting result. Even if it's a bit of a stretch in your belief system, it's ok to "fake it till you make it" with intentions.
Check For The Words “Try” And “But”, If you intend to reduce stress, say something like, “I intend to invite peace and calm within myself today.” Avoid saying, “I will try to stop stressing today.”
Begin and end With Gratitude; gratitude is a powerful and self-healing emotion. Begin using this in your life, the Universe will significantly reward you!
Make It Believable. Instead of some distant, unachievable destination, you don't believe in, make your powerful intention for your higher good your new reality.

This powerful setting intentions guided meditation includes theta and 432Hz solfeggio frequencies to create lasting and profound change in your life.
When it comes to making plans for setting intentions to achieve your objectives, there are seven crucial procedures to follow:
1. Let go of whatever limiting notions you may have.
After seeing how powerful the mind is, we shouldn't limit how far it can alter reality. Consider your potential to be infinite rather than defined in any way. Believe in yourself, and perceive the world for its abundance rather than the restrictions it imposes.
When doubt begins to seep into your thoughts, keep in mind that it is only as valid as the amount of attention you give it.
2. Be succinct while remaining adaptable.
In the words of Seneca, "If one does not know to which port one is sailing, there is no favorable wind."
Make your ambitions clear and specific: when do you want it to happen, where will it occur, and with whom will you spend the time? However, as you proceed, remember to be flexible about your route and how you get there.
A detour may be a blessing in disguise, guiding you on the correct route. The person who keeps showing up will see their desire come to fruition.
3. Use all of your senses to immerse yourself in the experience.
Psychologists and therapists emphasize the relevance of VAK—visual, auditory, and kinesthetic modalities—in developing our mental states.
To make your intentions as accurate in your imagination as they will be in reality, utilize these modalities: turn up the volume on the people you're with, the color of the suit or dress you're wearing,' and your physiological sensations and emotions as you celebrate,' and so on.
You're not just daydreaming or envisioning things; you're actively preparing and laying up the groundwork for them.
4. Take immediate action.
Visualization, like a horse and carriage, must connect with hard work to be effective. Reverse engineering starts with the end in mind and breaks your aim into smaller pieces. Take one bite at a time from the elephant's trunk.
Do not let hesitation or fear prevent you from taking the most immediate action necessary to achieve your objective. Do something daily that will help you get closer to your goal, even if it is small.
Every time you take action, your fear diminishes, and your confidence increases.
5. Take pleasure in the coincidence.
Sometimes things will happen that are too coincidental to be considered a coincidence. As time passes, everything falls into place, and your intention becomes a reality. These affirmations that you're on the correct course should be celebrated. Use them as reference points to refer back to when you're feeling low, and keep going forward while keeping an eye out for the next synchronistic occurrence.
Synchronicity serves as a teacher, informing us if we should continue our current trajectory or alter the course. If it has been a long time since your last meeting, it is possible that you need to try something new.
6. Make sure you have some backup.
Inviting your close inner circle of friends to make intentions for you is a great way to start. If one consciousness can modify reality, then a society of collective consciousness will undoubtedly assist you in moving mountains.
Connect with someone who has already accomplished your goals, and use their experience to help you strengthen your ambitions. Expand your understanding of intentions' power by reading articles, listening to podcasts, and watching videos.Knowledge is a powerful tool.
7. Engage in everyday physical activity.
Exercise your intention in the same way you would a muscle. Write it down daily—be specific with your dream and set deadlines for yourself; develop a vision board to help you visualize your goals.
Make your intentions so profoundly established in your being that you are beyond confidence in your ability to manifest them and that your actions become automatic in their pursuit. Take control of the island by destroying your ship.
Your intention will serve as the catalyst for bringing your passion to fruition.
Science continues to affirm that there is much more to the world than we can see with our eyes and that our minds are far more powerful than we think.
Now is the time to tap into the power of intention and live up to your full potential.

How to Rejuvenate Your Mind, Body, and Spirit and Overcome Burnout
All of us have been there. At work, things are complicated, and things at home aren't much better either. You're exhausted, stressed out, and your dog escaped the house. There appears to be not enough time in the day at times.
Stopping negative thought patterns that serve to make you feel worse can be challenging.
Although stress is a natural part of life, there are instances when it can spiral out of control. Take back some control when life gets too challenging to handle. Fortunately, there are numerous ways to make this happen.
Put physical and mental exhaustion behind you by using these suggestions:
1. Make dietary changes. Eating a better diet can help when you're feeling exhausted. Junk food puts your body under extra stress and strain. Reducing your calorie intake and giving your body high-quality nourishment can be beneficial.
2. Sleep longer. Your burnout cannot be treated by working more hours or harder. The best course of action is occasionally to go to bed a few hours earlier than usual and get some additional rest. If you need to, permit yourself to sleep on weekends. Taking naps and rest is beneficial.
3. Keep caffeine away. If you're stressed out, caffeine is the last thing you need. Your body and mind are both stimulated by caffeine. It might present more problems than it does solutions.
4. Practice meditation. Anything that helps you relax your mind, such as prayer, meditation, or listening to calming music, can be helpful. Do not dwell on the difficulties in your life. Unless you design a break for your brain, it never takes one.
5. Allow yourself to modify your surroundings. When the surroundings stay the same, falling into a rut is simple. Being in the same few areas all the time can narrow your perspective and prevent you from seeing all the options that are available to you. Spend the weekend camping.
6. Engage in conversation with folks you enjoy. One of the most acceptable methods for overcoming mental exhaustion has been demonstrated to be this. The best medicine may be spending time with someone who makes you smile and feel at ease.
7. Consider your life. Think about how you got into this predicament. Do you need to move jobs, find a new career, or find a better relationship? Would speaking with a professional be beneficial? What must be done to stop a recurrence of the same circumstance?

Creating your meditation practice can be as simple as setting aside five minutes daily to listen to your breath.
One of the most significant benefits of meditating is that it is entirely up to you as to how, when, and how long you want to meditate. You can create your meditation practice and find a balance for yourself and your lifestyle.
Meditation can be as simple as listening to your breath in and out of your nose or chest. Just sit down, get comfortable, and breathe in and out. You will find a rhythm that works for you, and the more you practice, the easier the process will become for you uniquely.Meditation is one of the most potent methods of living I have learned, but it is also one of the most simple processes. BEGIN GUIDED MEDITATION SCRIPT:Welcome to this meditation for beginners. It's lovely that you are here. Meditation is an essential tool to use in our lives to keep us centered and balanced. Meditation is a practice; the best part is you cannot do it wrong. Today we will practice a simple meditation that can be done anytime, anywhere. Begin by sitting in a position that is comfortable for you. Take a moment to focus on your spine. We often tend to sit hunched over, mainly when we use electronics. Meditation is a great time to reach and retrain ourselves to sit straight, tall, and proud. Let your palms rest gently in your lap, facing downwards, and whenever you're ready, softly close your eyes if that is comfortable for you. You can let your gaze rest gently on the floor if it's not. Begin to bring awareness to your breathing without trying to judge it or change it. Just let yourself notice how you are currently breathing and what muscles you use when you live. Where does the air go when it flows in? How does it feel as it exits? Anytime you find your mind wandering, no, that's perfectly okay. Just return your awareness to your breath. Letting yourself be curious. How is my breath flowing in and out of my body? And on your next inhale, intentionally breathe through your nose, feeling your stomach and chest. Expand and exhale through your mouth, feeling your stomach and chest contract. Continue the cycle. Breathing in through your nose has your stomach and chest rise, and exhaling through your mouth as your stomach and chest fall. Be intentional with how you breathe your mind, something to hold onto and focus on.

This one-hour-long guided progressive relaxation meditation uses deep delta waves brain entrainment to relax and heal your mind and autonomic nervous system. (Listen at a low comfortable level using headphones)
You've probably heard of progressive muscle relaxation (PMR), even if you're unsure how to do it. After all, it does have a long history.An American doctor named Edmund Jacobson published his first book about the concept in 1929 after noticing that physical relaxation helped his patients to feel calmer. Since then, advocates of PMR have been using the technique to enjoy a wide range of physical and mental health benefits. If you'd like to try a simple, safe, natural relaxation method, PMR may be for you.Benefits of PMR:1. Relieve stress. Anxiety and stress can make your muscles stiffen, leaving you feeling tenser. PMR helps reverse the cycle because your mind calms down when your body loosens.2. Treat insomnia. PMR can be very effective in helping you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Plus, unlike many medications, it has no harmful side effects.3. Manage chronic pain. PMR has had some success with various conditions, incredibly relieving chronic pain. Other uses include lowering blood pressure and enhancing digestion.4. Connect with your body. One of the main advantages of PMR is that it helps you to listen to your body. That means you can notice symptoms faster and respond more quickly.

Many people fail to appreciate how fleeting and short life is. You can't afford to live a life devoid of purpose and color because you can't enjoy life's simple pleasures. The importance of the simple but foundational things in life may not become apparent to some people until a crisis appears in their life.
In terms of mindfulness and meditation, is there any difference?
The answer to this question is yes, you can practice mindfulness without meditating.
Meditation is the awareness of "nothing," while mindfulness is the awareness of "something." Meditation can be practiced in a variety of ways. Mindfulness Clear Mind meditation is one type of meditation. The natural rhythm of the breath while sitting and the rhythm of slow walking is both observed and studied.
Without meditation, it is possible to be mindful. Mindfulness is a nonjudgmental awareness of one's thoughts, sensations, surroundings, and emotions, and meditation is one way to cultivate this awareness.
What are the similarities between mindfulness and meditative practices?
In comparison to mindfulness, meditation is like running or working out in a gym. Sometimes, meditation requires you to sit still, pay attention to your breath, and return to it repeatedly as you get distracted... It can also mean paying attention while eating, walking, or falling asleep.
Meditation can help you cultivate a state of mindfulness, but you don't necessarily need to meditate to be present. For example, you can devote all your attention and energy to a conversation with a friend or family member.
The number of people searching for "mindfulness" has risen by 67% in the last year: Online searches for mindfulness have increased by 67 percent in the previous five years. People are starting to realize the importance of this practice.
Ultimately, meditation is not a substitute for mindfulness
Meditation will help you become more mindful in every aspect of your life. Meditation, on the other hand, provides a more profound experience than simply practicing mindfulness. 
The choice is yours, whether you choose to practice mindfulness or meditation, or both. Explore both methods and develop a daily meditation practice that works for you.
