Meditation has become one of the most important parts of my spiritual practice. Over time, it’s helped me shape a more intentional lifestyle and refine my daily rhythm. More than anything, it’s a beautiful way to slow down and connect with a deeper level of self-awareness.
Life gets busy we’re working, chasing goals, keeping up with shows, scrolling social media, and trying to make space for everything else. But in the midst of all that, we owe ourselves the same level of attention and intention. Meditation is that reminder. It’s the pause. The moment to exhale. To reconnect with your body and clear the mental clutter.
I won’t lie meditation was challenging at first. Sitting still with your thoughts can feel impossible, especially if your mind is constantly racing. But I promise, it gets easier with time. Here are three meditation techniques that I come back to again and again. Each one supports my mind, body, and spirit in a different way:
Guided Meditation
This is how I started, and honestly, it’s one of the easiest ways to ease into the practice. You just sit still and listen. The voice of the guide and the background music do most of the work for you. It’s great for when your mind feels chaotic and you need some gentle direction. There are tons of apps out there to help you get started just pick one that resonates and press play.
Mindful Meditation
This one helps me calm my thoughts especially when I’m in overthinking mode. You find a quiet, comfortable space, close your eyes, and focus on your breath. That’s it. Your mind will wander (and that’s okay), but just keep returning to your breath when it does. Over time, this practice helps quiet the noise and reduce anxious thinking. It’s all about presence without pressure.
Shower Meditation
This is one of my favorite ways to wind down. Some people love bath meditations and that’s beautiful too. But for me a hot shower with soft music and a good body wash is sacred. I let the water run over my face, close my eyes, and breathe in deeply for four counts, exhale for four counts. The warmth and the steam help me feel grounded and it almost always eases any tension I’ve been holding. It’s simple, soothing, and perfect for those heavy days.
If meditation still feels hard try starting small. Just five minutes a day. Find a style that fits your lifestyle and feels natural for you. The key is consistency over perfection. And I’ll be sharing more about building a sustainable meditation practice in another post soon.
Until then, take a moment to pause. Breathe. And come home to yourself.
