Maintaining a daily Meditation Routine

Most of us are familiar with the many benefits that come with a regular meditation routine. The problem often lies in how to establish and maintain this routine. There are two common difficulties people try to overcome: doubts regarding ‘correct ways of meditation’, and procrastination.

Essentially, the only possible wrong way to meditate is to think that you are doing it wrong. There are vast varieties of meditation techniques and practices

and it is through exploring the different practices that each person can find her or his unique meditation technique. Go with what makes sense to you and embrace what works for you.

Finding the time to establish a regular meditation routine and procrastination often go hand-in-hand.

It comes into play when we tell ourselves that we need to do other things that are far more important than our meditation practices. When you find yourself procrastinating, don’t judge yourself for it. Just be aware of what is happening and recognize it for what it is. Establish a meditation routine that suits your lifestyle. Remind yourself of the tremendous benefits that come with a daily meditation routine.

Bringing the benefits back into your awareness will help you to overcome procrastination. www.womynspathofhealing.com

Whats On Screen Dec 18th An Intimate Evening with Frank Mills Mr. Music Box Dancer 7:00 pm Tix - $54 Internationally known pianist FRANK MILLS shines his musical light once again as he returns to the stage with “An Intimate Evening with Frank Mills”. It’s like spending an evening in Frank’s living room as he shares music, memories and even some humour of over forty years at the piano and on stages around the world.

APOLOGY: Please be advised that an error was printed in the recently distributed Tidemark Theatre Program. The ticket price marked for the Frank Mills show, scheduled for Dec 18th, incorrectly displays $27 instead of $54 per ticket. The presenters of Frank Mills and the Tidemark Theatre are in no way responsible for the error as it was a printing error during production of the program.
