Smile- Mediation

So if I write about burn-out I should maybe write also about what you can do.
I think I did mention once or twice in my blogs to take five minute each day to enjoy something simple, or to give you each day a little present (and that does not mean to buy something... maybe but there is so much more..). Alright, but if you don't have the time for sport, yoga or an everyday walk in a park, then maybe mediation is your way. Those meditation can take 5, 10 or 20- 30 minutes... Sure in the beginning it won't be much more, or you are the one who can do so from the beginning. But for the rest, 5 minutes can feel like an hour.
Mostly it is good to start in a group of people but if you want to do it alone at home, then just know... there are no right or wrong, just find out how. And... it's absolutely normal if you lose the focus and start thinking what you should buy next day. Just make sure you get aware of that and then go back to what you wanna do- meditate. 
First- how you sit, or lay is up to you, no matter what they say... you should feel comfortable and this must be because you need to stay it that way a couple of minutes. But to be true, when you start with laying down, there is a high risk of sleeping at the end... But-again- if you lay down, then you should find a good CD where they lead you the way, so you can calm follow and rest. 
Otherwise, sitting on the ground or the chair you can start with watching yourself breathing- be aware how the air comes in and goes out. An easier way is to chant. The most popular is the "Om" which just means in easy words- you are ready. The sound of mantras has a deep frequency and it will help you much to calm down and also ease pain. To start with the "Om" is the most easiest way, then later if you are used to, then you can take mantras with more words and just look on youtube or in special stores and you'll find them and also the meanings of those or look on this side:

This is a project Tina Turner is a part of and there you're on the right side. 
But as I did try a lot of different meditations I can recommend another one at least for the end of each meditation setting. The "Smile- Meditation". To be true in the beginning I was thinking that this is stupid, is just something people came up to make money or to make a  laugh stocking out of you. But like Julia Roberts in the film "Eat, Pray, Love", I started to smile next to each day after my meditation. To smile with my face, then with my mind, then heart and bladder, then with my lever and so on... It turns out that one day it was not only easy to do so in meditation, it also is now very easy in my everyday live, just to smile out of no reason. It's relaxing, feels good and no matter what people think- they surely mostly thinking nothing at all or just wonder why I seem to be happy. But all I actually do is relaxing my muscles and making my body bringing out and producing all the good things which your body needs to stay healthy. I mean we all know that smiling needs the most less muscles to get done. Easy, but we forgot and learned to use muscles to look unhappy without being aware that we can have it another way. So maybe you give it a try and smile and maybe one day you too just do.

with a big smile to you....
LOVE & LIGHT
