guided meditation, audio

Hey guys, 
My name is Alex. I am excited to be apart of this forum and I want to take more time for mediation in my life. I have several stressors in my life come and go but haven't always delt with them in the best way. I am a kinda new to meditation, I know of a few things that I have used that helps with relaxation and allows me to think deeper about life, what it means and what is important. I am open to what others thoughts and advice.

Hey Alex, Hope you are well? Meditation certainly helps alleviate stress and is one of the many stress relief techniques available. You may want to try an app called Insight Timer which has many meditations, including guided ones, for conditions like stress.

 

However the best thing you can do, since youre just starting out on this journey, is to start small (ie short meditations) and then build up to longer ones. If you start with a 5 min meditation, make sure you learn to let your thoughts go ( floating them away on clouds). You cant stop the thoughts and don't even try to, but effortlessly let them come and go. Over time you will learn to quiet your mind.

 

Hope this helps!
