Focus On Your Breath.
Relax Your Mind.
Practice Meditation.
Here's where I'll help you.
There are some beautiful resources out there that make this process not only easier, but enjoyable.
APPS
Calm has guided meditations as well as sounds and images to help your meditation experience. You can also learn about the 7 steps of calm. The voices are pleasant and the images/sounds are relaxing.
Now, the app on the right is called Stop, Breathe & Think. In this app you can "check in" with how you are and it will give you a choice of suggested meditations based on how you are. There are free and purchasable meditations. It also lets you track your progress. This keeps track of how often & how long you meditate. Along with what meditations are your favorite, your check-in streak, and your top emotions.
I use both of these apps regularly throughout the day.

Books
These are just a selection of some really great options out there.
Starting in 2015 Whole Body Blog will be hosting a book club and we'll likely be reading one of these!!
If you're interested in finding out more about the book club then join the newsletter! I only send out an email once a month. In a week we'll be voting on what books to read and in November I'll announce the list so you can have plenty of time to buy the books and get them on sale!
There will only be FOUR books spanning throughout the year, to help out all those who are busy but still interested.
There will also be some bonus reads for those with the time and desire to read a little more.
Newsletter signup is on the top right hand corner!
