A Quick Note About Feminism and Transgender People

Hi everyone! Today I want to talk about the benefits of meditation, not as part of the practice of yoga but as an exercise in itself. Meditating at least 20 minutes each day gives us great benefits: it helps to calm us down and improve our health, both physical and mental: There are already many studies which talk about the benefits of meditation for our brain, heart and immune system.

To meditate you do not need anything, just you and your mind. You can meditate sitting, while walking or while doing any of your daily tasks. Although at first it is generally recommended to perform the practice in a quiet place where nobody will disturb you, sitting comfortably on a zafu, a couple of blankets or a chair, as in the back should be straight to facilitate breathing. However, with some practice you can meditate anywhere and in any situation. Once seated and relaxed, there are several ways to meditate as I have already mentioned. Another good and easy method is to try focussing your attention on an object, breathing normally (as a bridge between the physical body, mood and mind), and try not to let your mind roam away from that object. Another is the free directive or non-directive method, which also focuses on breathing but it allows the free flow of thoughts. You can decide which you prefer!
