· Yogarama shares simple ways to deal with anxiety and stress during the pandemic, including yoga and guided meditation
Millions of people around the globe are experiencing the physical and mental impact of social distancing and quarantine right now. You might waiver from boredom to overwhelmed in a matter of minutes. Although you may have more down time at home, you're likely feeling anything but relaxed.
We are all feeling a type of invisible anxiety – even though many of us are not going to work and some may no longer have work, what we feel is far from the relaxed state we enjoy when we are on a holiday.
How can you feel more calm during this strange and unpredictable times.
Meditation
Practicing meditation is one way to improve physical and mental health. A 2018 study showed that eight weeks of meditation and mindfulness reduced inflammation and hypertension in participants. A 2007 study published in the journal Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioural Neuroscience found that mindfulness meditation increased people's attention spans.
Meditation also good for your emotional well-being. A 2009 meta analysis of research on mindfulness showed that the practice can reduce stress and cortisol levels. And Harvard University research shows that mindfulness may actually change the brain of people with depression.
Meditation doesn't have to be simply sitting in silence. Here are a few creative ways to meditate or be more mindful.
Daily Guided Meditation:
Practising a guided meditation every day at the same time in the same place is one way to bring back a sense of daily routine.
Our regular habitual lives have been disrupted, we don’t have our daily exercise and work routines and nor are able to see family and friends.
This is an ideal time to gently introduce meditation into your life, simply 2 mins a day. See how it feels. Eventually you can build to 5 mins and then 10mins and ideally 20 minutes twice a day is a great option.
You can meditate virtually anywhere so long as you have a laptop or smartphone, headphones, and a few extra minutes.
Yogarama offers 5 week meditation courses and has guided meditation recordings on the website. Videos of our guided meditation are being created and will be ready for you soon.
We recommend a number of apps. These are simple to use and offer a range of guided meditations of different lengths for your benefit.
Meditation apps include: Headspace app. Insight Timer app. Smiling Minds app. & Calm app.
