MINDFULNESS AND MEDITATION

A 21 days plan to begin a new Life I propose a plan for 21 days for you to incorporate meditation into your life. A cycle well-known by scientists to be especially helpful in making beneficial changes in your life. The first part is theoretical and the second is practice. But don't worry; I don't give too much theory, only what it is necessary, since the objective is clearly practical: to learn how to meditate. In the practical part I explain the exercises you will be doing from day to day. You will learn how to meditate, in your house, sitting on a chair or lying on a mat, without complicated positions. You will learn the basic theory and some simple but profound techniques of raja yoga meditation. You do not need to have prior knowledge, have the body adapted to yogic positions or possess spiritual or religious concerns. Meditation is a tool that will allow you to control and calm your mind, reduce stress and, therefore, get to know yourself better and lead a fuller and happier life.
