meditation

I used to be under the impression that true meditation is only a state of zero thoughts (achieved through sitting in a lotus pose 🤭). 

So every time I was doing guided meditation, or just observing my thoughts or feelings in the body, I thought it didn't really count.

But recently I've had an epiphany... First of all, who's counting??
Secondly, meditation is just a word. It can mean whatever I need it to mean for me. 

And that just opened a new world for me. Like, I can do an imaginative relaxing activity any time I need, to work through something that's bothering me, or for an insight? How fun is that??

Love love love yoga! It's also my favourite way to take care of myself 💜

Now those are high standards! 😄Even Buddhism isn't that strict with its definitions of meditation. But I completely agree - the main thing is that it helps you. I can't seem to incorporate canonical meditation into my life at all, but yoga really helps me with grounding, calming down, and finding balance.
