Tips for Outdoor Meditation

Meditation is one of the most therapeutic aspect in health. It is a practice that is commonly and originally done by the Indians, but recently is spreading to other parts of the world too. It is a practice where you spend time alone without speaking to other people and instead focus more about your own life. It has proved to help in many situations such as being spiritually, mentally and physically fit.

Meditation can be done either indoors or outdoors where you get to interact with the nature during that whole period. Most people are not acquainted with the outdoor meditation as it is less common but also great. To have your meditation outdoors, it is important that you go out to a place where there is nature around you such as trees, animals, shrubs, streams or rocks. Then locate the best spot and sit comfortably. Shut your eyes and begin with taken deep breaths up to the stomach. This helps to relax your entire body, which includes the mind and soul.

Continue doing this for up to 5 minutes as you take keen attention of the nature around you. Listen to the birds singing, the waters of the river flowing, the whistling of the trees and the feeling of the breeze in the atmosphere. This helps to calm you down and alleviate good feelings as well as an appreciation of the nature. Ensure that your mind does not wonder away from your center of focus and whenever it does bring it back. You can also decide to focus on one aspect only for instant the bird’s melody. You can also focus on particular smells especially those that are pleasant.

At the end when you open your eyes you will feel like a new man due to the experience you will have had during meditation.
