How would it feel if you were flipping through TV channels without ever deciding on a show to watch?

Imagine channel surfing all day.

You’d probably get frustrated with it very quickly, toss the remote and walk away.

And that’s okay if you’re watching TV.

But what if you couldn’t’ walk away?

Well, that’s what happens with your mind all day long.

It’s constantly moving from one thought to another, sometimes not even in any particular sequence, just one random thought to another.

There it goes again.

What if you could put it on pause just for a few moments?

Well you can if you choose to.

I wrote about meditation way back in 2016 as one of my initial blog posts, but I thought it would be good idea to re-visit the subject, at least briefly.

Starting a meditation practice doesn’t have to be a complicated process and you don’t need incense and robes to set the mood for a perfect session.

You can meditate while lying down, standing, walking or sitting, so you don’t have to be in a traditional crossed legged pose that often associated with meditation.

With all the various styles of meditation, you can explore and find one that best suits you.

Channel surfing works well with TV because hopefully you eventually land on something you want watch. But your mind keeps bouncing around because that’s what it’s in the habit of doing, unless you intervene.

So why not consciously give your mind the occasional break?

Find a meditation technique and create a practice that works for you, and give your mind a much needed pause.
