So I tried to meditate. That didn’t go so well.
Trying to make myself sit down and quiet my mind was incredibly difficult and I often left meditation frustrated and irritated. Not exactly what I was going for.
Then I discovered yoga nidra meditation, a beautiful guided mediation that allows your body and mind to rest and rejuvenate. The best part…all you have to do is lie down and listen. That was key for me!
I started practicing Yoga Nidra and have been practicing ever since.
Along the way, I enjoyed relaxation and calm during practice. Eventually, I noticed I wasn’t so easily triggered. I was able to be present and respond to interactions that would have triggered me before. And then I became a person who could practice a sitting meditation and actually quiet my mind (sort of, most of the time 🙂
