Hi, I wanted to share this little routine with you to help you get into a meditative state.

Let me start with a brief introduction. When I was about 16 or 17, I used to meditate every day, but over time I stopped practising regularly. Recently, I’ve been wanting to bring it back into my life, but I couldn’t concentrate as well as I used to.

Now, I’ve recently started incorporating walks of about 30 minutes into my daily routine, and afterwards I lie down on my bed and practise the 4-7-8 breathing technique for about 10 minutes. Once those 10 minutes of breathing are over, I stay lying down for a while and listen to my body, without ‘forcing’ myself into a meditative state. If, on that particular day, I feel my body and mind relaxing, I carry on for as long as I like; otherwise, I stop, without forcing myself to meditate every day.…
