My Meditation: Improving My Life

Improved Essays
I really believe, especially after today’s session, that Meditation is truly improving my life both physically and mentally. It has helped me have a more positive outlook on situations and negative events. I am now able to push negative thoughts away and replace them with more positive ones. I feel great about this progress!

Today I sat on my bed right when I woke up and decided to concentrate on my breathing and meditate to start the day off right. The process feels more natural and the outcomes are great. More importantly I feel great too!

Since I heard more time today, I decided to listen to the audio playing of my mantra. I began by concentrating on my breathing then listening to the mantra. I found myself more easily being able to

After doing that, I was able to clear my mind better. Sometimes I find that it helps to think about things and almost organize your thoughts, if that makes sense, it gives me a sense of order and also really helped me concentrate on my meditation better!

Today’s session was great. I decided to really focus on the feeling and sensations around my body by doing a body check and concentrating on my breathing at the same time. After, I also recited my mantra for about 15 minutes. I find that doing this recitation really makes me feel positive and calm. I think that it’s absolutely great how relaxed and positive you can feel just after one session of meditation.

Today mediation was harder than usual, I was once again thinking about all the things I needed to do for the day. Maybe meditating at night for some days would be a better option for me.

Thankfully today’s session went really well. I am really enjoying mantra. I wonder if there is other forms of mantra I could find online. I have noticed many benefits from this process and I am in love with every part of

I told my family about my mantra practices. My mum was really interested and said she would try it with me next time. I also realize I prefer meditation in the morning rather than at night, but I need to make sure I am not thinking too much about my day when meditating before my day starts.

Today was such a beautiful day outside and the weather was great too so I decided to do my mantra outside in my backyard. I really enjoyed this experience. I felt that I was able to feel more sensations by doing mediating outside. It was a great

    This semester we listened to a mediation circuit by Deepak Chopra, the messages explored all kinds of topics from love and acceptance to things like opening your heart chakra. This meditation really provided me with a calm and relaxing outlet and strangely enough, each meditation topic came at the right time. Specially I can think back to a couple days where I was doubting my abilities greatly and was really questioning if I was meant to be here, and that same day we learned about self acceptance and being enough just the way we are. With being in such a subjective field, we as performers are constantly second guessing our abilities, and meditation has become something of a helpful tool to use whenever I start to feel overwhelmed. Something that we have done a few times in class but more specifically in ‘A Chorus Line’ was standing in a circle holding hands, and taking 4 deep breaths.…

    Today was my second time using the Muse™ headset. The last time I used the headset I had a very enjoyable experience and I truly believe it helped me better understand how to calm my mind. I crushed it with a total of 49 birds in a short 10-minute meditation, so this time I had hopes of achieving even higher levels. I decided that I would change up the sounds that I would hear from the muse. Instead of the traditional rainforest landscape, I chose a nice relaxing beach to accompany me through meditation.…

    My experience with the positive psychology course this semester has been overwhelmingly enriching, and I have been able to apply course topics and related research findings to my own life. I had a small notion of what positive psychology was before this semester. However, learning more about different research studies and their findings has helped me see positive psychology as its own force in the science of psychology. Course assignments have helped me understand, retain, and apply the positive psychology principles to my own behavior and perspective, as well. Regarding course assignments for this paper, I will keep my focus on the major assignments throughout the semester, as I feel that these in particular have had the most substantial effect…

    Meditation/ mindfulness exercises are something I have wanted to incorporate into my life weekly. The first time I have even done a mindfulness exercise was in counseling with my therapist. I would do it once a week before every session. I found it really helpful to start out each session with a quick five-minute exercise. Without even knowing I went through four of the five stages in the transtheoretical model: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, and action.…
