A Yogi Grows In Brooklyn

The close of the year is often a time for reflection and assessment. Meditation is a powerful means through which we can connect with ourselves, our thoughts and reflect on the events of our year.

Any comfortable seated position (even seated in a chair) is fine for practicing meditation. Closing ones eyes and focusing on the breath is a method that allows a person to become present in the moment. When the mind begins to quiet, begin to think about your year and notice what moments and events are prominent in your reflection. Make a mental note of all of the events that arise. To close your meditation of reflection, think about noting your blessings (occurrences and people) that have enriched your life in the past year (and even acknowledging gratefulness for the present moment that you have to engage in your meditation.)

Om, Shanti, Peace.
