INSIGHT TIMER
REVISITED
In a previous blog I referred to the smart phone
application, Insight Timer while
talking about the benefits of structure and consistency of structure. Since
then, Insight Timer has added additional features for meditation including
Guided Meditations. So, rather than just keeping time for your meditation
session, the application now provides you with meditations you can listen to.
Today, I enjoyed listening to the featured guided meditation by Tara Brach
called "Gateway to Presence." I typically find that meditation helps
to relax the mind, which in turn can help relax the body. However,
"Gateway to Presence" is particularly helpful in relaxing the mind as
well as the body through its guided suggestions, thus producing the Relaxation
Response I so often encourage those with whom I work to experience at least
once a day. When you can, give it a listen and I trust you will notice both the
mental and physical feeling of peace and relaxation.
