Eye of the Storm

We have spent a month with our bodies in motion, but now it’s time to bring our bodies and our minds to rest. Taking a little time out of your day for even the simplest meditation can be powerfully rewarding. If you have a smart phone, or access to YouTube, there are a wide variety of meditation apps and guided meditations to explore; or you can keep it as simple as sitting quietly, closing your eyes, and focusing on your breath for five minutes. This challenge offers a chance to build mental and emotional resilience by cultivating inner peace.

Habit:
Take a deep breath and return to the present moment

Daily:
Meditate for 5 or more minutes

To Do:
Try a guided meditation
Try a silent meditation
Share your experience with the guild

Reflection:
This challenge sparked a ton of interest and got us many new guild-members! I particularly enjoyed how it supported my ongoing daily meditation practice, encouraging me to meditate in a few unusual situations, like on a park bench, and at the doctor’s office! I have made meditation part of my daily routine for years now, and it was a joy to be able to share that with my online community.
