In the video (Short) I share with you a meditation practice in timelapse, with a real duration of 20 minutes. And as I didn't speak I didn't want to put it complete in real time during the 20 minutes, it seemed to me that it didn't make sense.

However, if you would like me to share a guided meditation in a future post, let me know in the comments and I will be happy to record one for you.

I know that the community is for posting about sports, and meditation is far from it (as well as yoga), but in this case I wanted to share it with you because it is always important the activities that lead to a healthy life and in favor of tranquility, wellness and health. Well, in the case of Yoga and Meditation, we fall into this category because we work not only the body, but the mind.

**Yes, with meditation you are working the body.

This is because by holding the same posture for long periods of time, even if it is just sitting, we are activating certain muscle areas, such as those that allow us to hold the spine upright and open the chest.

So much so, that at the beginning, many meditators around the world may feel an exhaustion in the back similar to doing some exercise and when practiced for a long time, it results in a great strengthening of the area (very beneficial too). In addition to this, as meditation is an activity for the cultivation of calm and tranquility, the muscles tend to relax (over time) and allow for the opening of certain joint ranges such as in the hip area (hip opening).

Well, having said that, let's talk about meditation:

During meditation, let us not try to control, nor let us freely wander about any thought, like a monkey jumping from one branch to the other.

Let us do the work of sustaining. The essential practice is to be present "Here and Now" through awareness of the object of meditation:

• Body
• Breathing
• Sensations
• Mental state
• Thoughts

To be conscious of the breath is what is called "anapana sati". The mind is restless, complex, distracted by nature, because it looks for all kinds of stimuli around, and the proposal when meditating is:

Accept our situation, live with it while it remains and realize that sooner or later it is modified, transformed.

While this event of impermanence occurs, of transience of the mental situation with which we started the meditation, let us simply dedicate ourselves to observe the breath.

Sometimes slow, sometimes fast.
It can be superficial or deep.

In any case, accepting it as it is and we will notice that little by little, as well as the mind, the breath will also calm down. As the disturbances settle down, finally, we will notice that peace will manifest.
