TWO THINGS I READ TODAY: HOW TO BREATHE AND SIT WHEN MEDITATING

Welcome to my little weekly series “2 things I read today” where I’ll be sharing articles, information and studies that can help your meditation practice. I hope you enjoy them and I hope they can result in an useful selection of content for your own journey.

These two articles are from Headspace, a digital health platform that provides guided meditation and mindfulness exercises to help users reduce stress, improve focus, and enhance overall well-being. I am a big fan of their programs and meditations, and in a way they inspire this meditation group too. During my COVID infection, I used their materials to maintain control of my anxiety and also to help my breathing patterns.
