Sue Duminy Instagram – How do I meditate before bed? Here are some tips for you to unwind before bed.
Mindful Breathing – this exercises focus attention on our breathing. By doing so, all the worries you may have in mind are gradually lost. Concentrate all your attention on the breath, on the inhalation, and exhalation.
Body Awareness / Body Scan – This technique, when you are lying down before going to sleep, think about your body. Breathe slowly and focus your attention on each part of your body, starting with your head and slowly moving down to your feet. Feel the full weight of your body on top of the bed and let it sink into the bed. Do this until you fall asleep.
Identifying Blockages – Before going to sleep, breathe calmly and try to let your mind go blank. You probably have specific thoughts that come back again and again to your mind. Identify what they are, observe them, and without going deeper into them, let them pass. You can imagine that you take that idea in your hands and push it away from you. The important thing is to learn to identify the worries that do not let you rest and let them go.
Guided Meditation – Guided mindfulness meditation is easy to find on the internet to help you through your journey
Start the Morning with Energy and a Good Mood – Meditation activates brain areas that are reward areas, and this is how we generate more positive responses. This chemical change at the brain level leads us to wake up in a better mood and see things from a much more positive perspective, bringing a more excellent value to our experiences. These happiness hormones, such as dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins, are activated by relaxation, and calm meditation generates. So it is not surprising that when we wake up, we see life more optimistically.
