3 Ways to Cure Anxiety with Meditation - How to Meditate for Beginners - BEXLIFE

Hey guys , it's Beck here and I am back with another meditation video for you this time .

It's meditation for anxiety and it comes by request .

So many of you need a meditation to just calm down .

I'm here in the beautiful Katona Yoga studios in Chelsea New York City .

So I thank them so much for letting me use this space .

And I'm going to bring you through a couple different techniques to help you focus when your mind is just swimming with chaos .

So let's get started .

I want you to find your easy seat .

You could have 1 ft in front of the other .

If that feels comfortable for you , I'm going to cross over into half lotus because that's where I like to be for meditation .

And we're going to begin by sitting up nice and tall .

So with your first inhale , go ahead and lift your shoulders up to your ears and roll your shoulder blades down your spine .

We're lifting up through the pelvic floor and bringing our belly buttons back to spine and up towards our chest .

And this is going to give us a very strong foundation for this meditation with just a couple of easy breaths .

I want you to ease your way into a quiet space .

Don't focus on breathing in and out too long or taking big deep breaths .

I just want everything nice and easy .

At this point when we're feeling anxious , it's usually about something that's going on in the future .

Think about that for a moment .

If you're living in the moment , if you're being here now , then you'll rid yourself of all anxiety .

It's only future events to do lists , things that may be happening in an hour or tomorrow or next week .

It gets us all riled up .

So let's just focus on our breathing right now .

The next inhale and exhale and let all those icky to do lists fall away .

Now , during meditation , you may choose to have your eyes closed or another way to meditate and to focus on the moment is to open your eyes and just pick a spot across the room or maybe a candle flame .

So we're focusing and then softening .

We don't want laser beams , burning holes into the wall across from us .

We don't want to focus too hard on that flame because then it becomes obsessive and we're worried about , are we looking not hard enough or is it flickering too much ?

And then our mind starts swimming .

So focus soften sound helps me to meditate .

It helps me to relax even while I'm lying in bed at night .

So sometimes I'll just hum to myself .

It could be a chant with words .

You could say something like I am .

I am in perfect health .

I am strong .

I am peace .

I am water .

Or you could just simply hum a tune and let's try that together in how as you exhale , your belly button will come into spine , inhale you release the muscles in your abdomen .

Don't worry if you have perfect pitch .

I certainly don't .

Everything is good and easy here .

Everything sounds beautiful .

Examine if your pitch is high or low , if it's high , maybe bring it down a notch to get you in a calmer place .

Send your breath to your seat .

Inhale through your nose .

Mhm Imagine that sound traveling down through your body , to your seat , through the floor and to the core of the earth .

Mhm mhm One last thing I'd like to show you is using a meditation bowl .

It's a Tibetan singing bowl to bring that tune , that vibration , that sound into your meditation practice .

You can use the mallet here to create a sound with the bowl and I'm not that great at it .

So I just gong the bowl and I get a sound that I can hum to or just listen to .

So let's try that .

Let's just take a few more breaths together , inhales and exhales to settle more deeply into our seat .

Relishing this moment , feeling radiant in our bodies .

Thanking ourselves for taking the time to treat ourselves well , to allow ourselves to breathe , to allow ourselves to forget our tasks , our chores our responsibilities , acknowledging the responsibility , we have to our hearts and our bodies to just let go with our next inhale .

Let's open our eyes and that's it meditating to relieve anxiety .

Is that easy ?

You just have to take the time to be here now , make that your mantra for today .

Thank you so much for joining me .
