How To Meditate In 3 Minutes Or Less

22 Exercises to Develop and Strengthen Intuition

Finding time to meditate can hold you back from beginning your practice. Maybe you try to carve out time, but other events (and people) take priority.

While extended meditation has its benefits, you can also boost your mindfulness with brief breaks of a few minutes or less. Try these tips for calming your mind even on your busiest days…

…

#1 – Focus on your breath.

…

Pay attention to your breath as it enters and leaves your nostrils. Follow its path up and down your body. Notice how your abdomen and chest rise and fall when you inhale and exhale deeply.

…

#2 – Scan your body.

…

Search for areas of tension. Massage your stiff shoulders or hands as you imagine your breath warming and healing them.

…

#3 – Observe your thoughts.

…

Check out what’s on your mind without making judgements. Let your mind slow down.

…

#4 – Embrace your feelings.

…

You can meditate when you’re feeling content or dealing with major stress. Remember that your emotions are temporary, and you decide how to respond to any situation.

…

#5 – Watch closely.

…

Lock your eyes onto a chosen object. Pick a candle with a flickering flame or a tree bough swaying in the breeze.

…

#6 – Chant out loud.

…

Fill your mind with a spiritual mantra or an inspiring saying of your own. Repeat it 3 times.

…

#7 – Reach out and touch.

…

Many spiritual practices use beads to count prayers and maybe even avoid falling asleep. Try wearing a bracelet or holding a charm in your palm as a trigger to bring your mind back to a beautiful and wholesome state.

…

Let go of stress and boost your concentration with a quick meditation session. You can enjoy greater peace of mind in just a few minutes a day. That’s a miracle worth celebrating!

Overcoming Doubts and Fears

I was struggling with old thoughts that kept creeping into my mind – doubts, self-sabotaging, fear of success. Toni carefully listened without judgment and showed me how to change the limiting beliefs with more empowering words and use meditation to release and replace the old limiting belief.

Toni is very knowledgeable, authentic, understanding, and full of stories. She challenges you to think outside the box. Toni is excited to find out about you, the client. She listens to what you are saying. It’s always an adventure, and you never really know what will show up from your life experiences. This makes it exciting!

Toni helps you become tuned in to your higher self and source (or whatever you want to call it). She allows you to have your own experience with the areas that need work. Toni exudes the feeling of something new and exciting, not scary. She gives off a calming and confident love that shines through.

I really enjoy finding my true self with Toni’s assistance. I cannot do this work without her as a mentor. She is an excellent source of lots of insight and knowledge. I found out how to think outside the box, and this work needs that type of thinking.

Her soft, caring voice both soothes and empowers you. You feel safe, heard, cared for, and guided. She has many tools/knowledge to help guide you through to your life’s purpose and desire. Toni is a true gift to have in your life!
