Get Some Head Space


G E T   S O M E   H E A D S P A C E

Meditating is a funny thing.  We all know we should do it.  But what actually is meditating?  When I was younger I used to think meditating was sitting in the lotus position (or cross legged as this is a tricky old pose to do), shutting your eyes, with your hands making circles, and making an omm-ing noise. - I modelled this on Rafiki from the Lion King and also from my Granny who was an Iyenga yoga teacher.  Meditating looked funny and sounded weird but as I have grown older, the activity of meditating has become more attractive. 

Meditating is not far off what I thought it was when I was a child. However from practising meditation it is a real bugger to try and do on your own.  The only time I think I have successfully meditated is at the end of a yoga class when the yoga teacher is talking you through relaxing every part of your body.  I find it almost impossible (and also feel a bit silly) when I sit on my bedroom to relax properly.  Without relaxing you do not reap the full benefits of meditating. 

That is why you need Headspace.
