I turn off all the lights, light the candles, and burn the incense that lays before me. I sit down quietly in front of my Buddha statues and stare at the many prayers and sayings that are scattered across my vibrant teal walls. I recite my three favorite prayers for forgiveness, peace, and divine being. I remind myself to clear my mind, body, and soul of any negativity. I then close my eyes as I remain seated. I take this time to focus on the aroma of the incense and the candles. I proceed to recite in my head what I wish to positively accomplish and I tell myself that anything is possible when hard work and dedication is applied. Always thinking of others, I make sure to include how I want to make other people happy as well. I continue by listening to soft zen mediation based sounds and music to relax. I take deep breathes in and out slowly to calm myself of any stress I may have at the time. Once fully relaxed I can feel my body become loose, numb, but also tingly. I feel warm, almost like there is a warm white glow surrounding my body. I smile slightly because of the comfort all of this brings to me.
Knowing that I can look forward to meditating and relaxing after a stressful day makes me beyond happy. Everyone has their own form of stress reliever and this is definitely mine. All I can tell you is... don't knock it before you try it! You might be pleasantly surprised.
