Ah, welcome to the wonderful world of mindful meditation! The place where inner peace meets outer hilarity. I'm Cat V, your guide to this cosmic journey, and I'm excited to show you how to find your inner zen while keeping it real.

​

What is mindful meditation, you ask? Well, it's like a workout for your mind. You know how you go to the gym to strengthen your body? This is like going to the gym for your brain. It's a way to train yourself to be present in the moment, to be aware of your thoughts and feelings without getting lost in them.

​

So, how do you get started? First, find a quiet place to sit or lie down. It doesn't have to be completely silent, but try to avoid any distractions like noisy traffic or barking dogs. You can even light a candle or burn some incense if that helps you get in the mood.

Next, close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Inhale deeply through your nose, and exhale slowly through your mouth. Focus on your breath, and let your thoughts drift away. Don't worry if your mind starts to wander (mine does all the time!), just gently bring it back to your breath.

​

Now, here's where the fun begins. As you continue to focus on your breath, start to observe your thoughts without judgment. It's like watching a movie inside your head. You don't have to get caught up in the drama, just watch it unfold and let it go.

You might start to notice some funny thoughts popping up. Maybe you'll remember that embarrassing thing you did in middle school, or that time you accidentally wore two different shoes to work. That's okay! Just let the thoughts come and go like clouds in the sky.

Finally, when you're ready to end your meditation, take a few more deep breaths and wiggle your toes and fingers. Slowly open your eyes, and take a moment to appreciate the stillness and calmness you've created.

​

So, there you have it! Mindful meditation, the workout for your brain that can also give you a good laugh. Give it a try, and see how it can help you find your inner peace while keeping it real. Join Us in creating a spiritual peace movement. Namaste, my friend!
