In these turbulent times in which we live surrounded by hopelessness, uncertainty or fear , the only way to regain the meaning of life and trust in the human being is meditation. For thousands of years, this tool of self-knowledge has led us to look within and allow our maximum potential to emerge at the individual level and, therefore, also for the collective.
Meditation at home
That is why a new tool has been born to be able to do meditation from home: Diana, the meditation skill and voice mindfulness in Spanish guided by experts, which you can activate through Alexa devices, or in the application for iOS and Android from Amazon Alexa. Just say “Alexa, open Diana” to start your meditation and mindfulness course and immerse yourself in the universe of self-knowledge and emotional freedom.
The important thing is not the landscape, but what you feel in a certain placeVeronica Blume
The yoga or meditation have found new adherents in these difficult times, and have managed to find at home the place to focus on your inner world and get away from the outside: “The ideal is to have at home a place where you feel comfortable and quiet. In the end, to do meditation you have to close your eyes, so the important thing is not the landscape, it is what you feel in a certain place “, says Verónica Blume an expert in relaxation and inner peace , who claims to have done meditations in Thailand that have transmitted less “than a room in your house.”
And the place is as important as the moment in which it is done. Apparently, the most favorable hours for meditation are early or late in the day, but everything will depend on the functions of each one. «I usually meditate in the early morning , before the day opens and I start with work roles. Likewise, I also advise doing meditation before sleeping », says the expert, who has more than ten sessions available to listen to in Diana.
With all the possibilities that exist to do meditation where you feel most comfortable, you only have to decide if you want to have company or better alone. Verónica Blume prefers to squeeze these moments in solitude : « Meditating is a gesture towards oneself, so doing it in company is an option, not a requirement. It is about knowing yourself, cultivating a balance and starting the path to the deepest part of you, “he concludes.
