Meredith McCullough, Mind.Body Studio Director, reflects on yoga to kick-off our month-long celebration at MINT.
My career as a traveling consultant was not very glamorous. Working for state and local government agencies, I would typically spend three to four days a week on the road, traipsing around capital cities like Lansing, St. Paul, Boise and Montpellier – all beautiful places in their own right, but none of them home. I quickly discovered that there were two things that I could do to keep myself out of trouble no matter where I landed – run and do yoga.
The running I could do alone, but because I preferred live classes, the yoga entailed seeking out a studio, fitting it into my schedule and interacting with other folks. Practicing yoga in this way, I was exposed to all kinds of different styles, teachers and fellow students.
The common denominator? Quite simply – yoga made me feel good.
Meditation is so good for having a strong Spirit, Mind, and Body that you should start everyday with 5 minutes of meditation and end the day with 5 minutes of meditation. Slowly build up your time each week by 1-2 minutes during each sitting until you are able to sit for 20-30 minutes.
When you first sit for Meditation try the technique “Three Equals Four.”
1) Still the Body, 2) Still the Mind, 3) Focus the Attention =4) Meditation. (more…)
