I bought a zafu ( = round meditation cushion) today, and just meditated, sitting on it for 20 minutes. It works very well, sitting on such a cushion, for me.

Oh, also focus on what you feel inside.

I have this basic rule: be still and relax.

 

Then I can vary in whatever way I wish, while keeping this rule.

Your post has been read! Hahaha *thumbs up*

 

I have just done some "box breathing" and it ended in a circle breathing.

The box breathing is more of like a four edged loop of breathing, so it has a breath in, hold, breath out, hold... I've just heard in a youtube video that Navy Seals learned that way, which probably learns them to be at peace during stressful situations. (the holding of the breath creates a "panic" situation which the practitioner then has to learn to meditate through... so it's a dealing with panic/stress way. It does sound logical to me!

 

But mostly I just sit and try to focus on the breath normally.

Very few times I do say an affirmation, or perhaps I decide to say various affirmations, and then I recognise the way it supports a optimistic mindset.

I'm very satisfied with this website and it's easy Timer.

 

I'm currently in a period where I decide to meditate in nice short 5 minute meditation sessions, so that it is easy for me to decide after one session, if I like to do another 5 minute session or that I will stop.

 

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Blessings, Jimi
