When we speak about meditation, most people imagine someone sitting still in silence, legs crossed, with an empty mind, almost levitating. Well, that’s not always how it is in practice. Fortunately, there are lots of meditation techniques and not all of them imply stillness. In Yoga, masters say we have a different body every day. Maybe it can even change during the day! Same happens with our mind and mood, they fluctuate constantly with the impernance of life. This is why there’s no single meditation technique that fits everyone all the time. It’s very important that you learn to observe and identify which meditation practice would be benefitial in each moment. All of them will try to lead us to the same place: quiet our mind and connect with our inner self.A common situation is that after meditating we feel good, peaceful, quietness… and then we cross the front door and we’re slammed by the world’s energy. However, if we understand that there’s quietness and silence behind movement and noise (and the other way around), we understand that it’s key to be able to integrate this world’s duality and stay observant, in balance, in contact with our inner center.There are many ways to remember that center and get back to ourselves during the day, even in the middle of our routines. Certain music, mantras, a breathing technique, fragances, watching a calming picture or whatever works for you as a signal to get back to your inner center, to switch the attention to the inside. Sometimes, one second of connection is enough.In this episode of the Awakened Tribes podcast, Nico and Sally dive into their personal journeys with meditation, exploring a variety of techniques from Vipassana to yoga and mindfulness.Nico shares insights from a transformative 10-day Vipassana meditation retreat, while Sally discusses her evolving practice with Yoga and pranayama.
