Mindful Meditation Practices

In my journey to rediscovering my joy  I  learned about mindful meditation. I know that to some, meditation can sound complicated. It's not. You can make it as simple or advanced as you like. Meditation is nothing more than taking time to sit quietly, take a few deep breaths and release your thoughts, clear your mind. The length of time can be as short or as long as you like. It can be taking a walk or a hike or sitting in your backyard quietly listening to the sounds of nature. Like journaling, the more consistent you can be , the more it will become a habit and you will feel the benefits of the stillness. By being still you allow space to be more aware and hear messages that come to you because you are silent and focusing on you.
