[ezcol_3fifth]Although meditation brings us into balance and helps us relax, we also need to be reasonably relaxed and balanced to meditate. The following techniques will help you clear your system of distracting energies so you can then meditate more deeply. Simple to do, only natural elements – water, air, earth and salt – are required.

Bad day at work? Take a few minutes and go outside, look at the sky, breathe the fresh air or, failing that, just look out the window. Notice the beauty of the sky, clouds and trees. Nature is naturally in balance so when we connect with it we balance too.

Also try:

Footsoaking (using water and salt elements)

Balancing the Left and Right Channels (using the earth and air elements)

The Ice Treatment (using frozen water to cool your system)

The Liver Diet (using cooling foods)

If you are depressed you are living in the past.
If you are anxious you are living in the future.
If you are at peace you are living in the present.
