How to Have the Perfect Meditation Practice

When asked how to have the "perfect" meditation practice the answer is simple: make it work for you! If it works for you, you will keep going, keep practicing. If it doesn't work for you, then you won't.

The other key: there is no such thing as a perfect practice, only perfect for you.

Meditation takes many forms. It can be done sitting, standing, lying down, sitting cross legged, or standing on one foot. Meditation can be more active and take the form of a walking meditation, introspective house chores, or engaging in creative arts (dancing, painting, coloring, etc). It can be practiced in the morning, afternoon, night, middle of the night, at snack time, or any time in between. It can be done with eyes closed or eyes open. Meditation can include chanting, signing, mantras, imagery, breath work, and movement. Bottom line: meditation is less about finding the perfect place, time, and modality and more about making it accessible for you.

The beautiful thing about meditation:  it creates a space to discover, to allow, to create, to learn, to grow, to reflect, to clear, to release, to understand, to see, to clarify. The other beautiful thing: it's entire yours.

Meditation, party of 1, your insights are waiting. All that is left to do? Show up and practice.

As always, follow the energy.
