Easy Start Meditation by Tris Thorp

Today I'll be proudly featuring Trista Thorp:

Tris has just sent me an e-mail describing how Meditation literally saved her life, that she studied at the Chopra Center to become a vedic master and that she's now sharing this timeless knowledge to help others. We got acquainted some years ago, when I met her as a speaker and  teacher at the "Journey into Healing" Conference with David Simon in Oxford. She was giving some of the meditation sessions and lectures. I was impressed, how easily this young lady took over the conference moderation and by the way how she mediated the knowledge. I have then met her again at the Chopra Center when I prepared for my own exams. By now she is probably one of the best meditation teachers You could find. 

She sent me an ingeniously simplified first step meditation instruction for beginners to share:

"To practice the So-Hum meditation, all you need to do is:

1. Find a comfortable place to sit upright in a chair or on the ground.
2. Bring your awareness to your breathing, allowing yourself to settle into a relaxed state.
3. As you follow your breath in, silently think “So”
4. As you follow your breath out, silently think “Hum”
5. Whenever you notice your attention has drifted to thoughts in your mind (and you will), simply return to the silent repetition of the mantra So-Hum
6. At any point when you become distracted by noises in the environment, simply treat it as you would any other thought, without judgment, just return to your breath and the mantra So-Hum"

Tris Thorp states: "Meditation is a practice that saved my life, literally."

I  hope You enjoy this simple to learn practice and that You can share it Yourself, when friends - who may ask You what to do -  want to join in.

In any case of questions or doubt feel free to call either one of us to find answers

Namasté
