some of you have an idea but don't know the various ways to meditate. but let's do it properly, and respecting the order of the small planner i wrote haha^

•meditation is a practice where there are used some techniques — such as mindfulness, or just focusing your mind on a particular object, thought, or activity — to train your attention and awareness, and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally stable and calm state.+

•it is still hard to explain in a scientific and clear way. even scholars and scientists have difficulties do define meditation, as its practices vary between traditions and within them. there are too many of ways to meditate whose come from different cultures. we have a +

great variety, so we can learn the various techniques used by people around the world.
•meditation may be used to help reducing stress, anxiety, depression, and pain; and to increase peace, perception, self-concept, and well-being. it is under research to define its+

possible health (psychological neurological, and cardiovascular) and other effects.
•in the dictionary definitions, we can find the term "meditation" classified with the meaining of "think[ing] deeply about (something)"; as well as the popular usage of "focusing+

one's mind for a period of time"; "the act of giving your attention to only one thing, either religious activity or as a way of becoming calm and relaxed", and "to engage in mental exercise (such as concentrating on one's breathing or repetition of a mantra) for +

the purpose of reaching a heightened level of spiritual awareness".

ALTERNATIVE WAYS OF MEDITATION
—TIPS FOR RELAXING AND RAISE YOUR VIBRATIONS

handwrite a letter
—it can be a gratitude letter to the universe; a letter to someone you love; to yourself; to your past self of to your future self. just make sure it is a positive thing.

have a cup of (herbal) tea
—we all know that tea is a good thing to warm us up and to make us relax. there's a big variety of teas with multiple functions. i've collected some guides about some teas and their benefits.

do something for the very first time
—new experiences give us new sensations. do you remember that one thing you were avoiding this whole time? something that you said "not now. later" and then never did it? do it now. you'll feel good, trust me.

read a (poetry) book, or write your own
—some people don't like to read because they didn't read de right book. everyone has a unique taste, and if you didn't find yours, you are meant to create it. reading helps you to relax and improve your vocabulary. it makes you feel+

big. writing is about to do multiple things, be a lot of people, be in a lot of places. you travel when you write. and the best thing is that you create your own rules, your universe. try it.

listen to some calm music; asmr; ambient sounds
—they help you to concentrate on the sounds and being relaxed. you can search them on youtube or even spotify - there are some composers that post their music there.

[i'll make a thread of some of my favourite composers soon.]

light a flavored candle; incense or an oil diffuser blend and visualise
—make sure the smell is not so strong for you if you're more sensible. visualise places and things the flavor makes you remember of.

gardening and plant care
—plants are the joy of our life. find a small piece of earth and start to cultivate some vegetables. also take care of flowers and succulent, for example, and put them inside your house. you'll have a good company and they look beautiful in there.

go for a walk on nature
—there's nothing better than walking alone through the woods, or in an isolated beach. nature is our best company, and our best friend. learn to listen to her and to love her the way she is.

cook for yourself
—when we eat well and healthy, we feel like in heaven. cooking for yourself is a way of giving you a bit of self love. spend some time in the kitchen, do that receipt that you saved some time ago and you didn't have time for that. try to cook something you+

never did. follow the receipt of a sweet only your grandma did well. there are so many possibilities.. everything is possible when you're in the kitchen.

do yoga and some stretch
—as everyone knows, this is a way of meditating.
i collected some exercises to do when stretching:
[i'll collect more in another thread.]

deep belly breathing (4-7-8 method)
—it helps you to relax, sleep and learn to controle your breath and your whole body.
here are some more information about it and the steps to do it:

eft (tapping)
—i've never listened about this method, but i found it really interesting and i will try it soon. i found some information about it so i'll just post some illustrations

more:

doodle
—doodling things you like makes you look at a whole panorama of things you enjoy in the world. find an old notebook you have and start illustrating everything you like in there. you'll have a whole world of love in the paper.

take a nice hot bubble bath
—it helps you to relax your muscles and, in consequence, your mind. you can also add some herbs and salt to your bath to clean your body and get off of bad vibrations and energy and replace them with good ones. also use bath bombs to make it cute.
