I really like this post on Yoga-Abode, the site of Lucia Cockcroft, a friend of mine. Lucia says that "You don't have to wear orange robes and sit on cushions in an
incense-swathed room. Anyone can meditate, and even a minute a day can
pay off," and with this, she basically deconstructs the idea that mediation is something that
only gurus people can do.
In this post, Lucia provides a simple guide on how to begin this very beneficial practice and interestingly, notes that one the most difficult things to take on board is that meditation must be practised without a specific goal.
She adds that it needs a relaxed, open approach that is without judgement or expectation. This is useful for me to know, as I often at least have the goal to try and 'keep my head empty'.
It's worth keeping an eye on Yoga Abode since the site is going for a relaunch very shortly, though I shall ensure to let you know here when it does.
