How to apply meditation practice into our everyday life? Especially, into the challenging moments when we get overwhelmed with big emotions?
Many people think of meditation only as a practice of sitting in silence and in stillness, and finding peace within.
Often not realizing how to actually apply it into real life situations, when we need it the most.
And, this is actually the whole art!❤️🧘🏻♀️
Here are the 3 steps which I find helpful when working with a challenging behavioral pattern, for example uncontrolled and overwhelming anger.
1: Recognize the sensations that show up along with the pattern. Instead of getting lost in them and becoming averse to them, use them as a tool to become aware of what is happening in the body, and where it usually leads.
2: Create time between sensation & response. Instead of reacting right away, do something, such as 5 long deep breaths, that will help you lengthen the time between the sensation and the (more mindful) response.
3: Reflect, on how would you like to respond out of the space of your highest self, living up to the values you truly wish to choose.
Of course, it’s not a magic solution & it won’t work 100% of time right away.
But it’s a real life practice.
It comes step by step, along with our work.
The more we practice, the better at it we become.❤️
