Meditation where you focus on your breathing, not to focus on what thoughts enter your mind, let your thoughts flow and leave bringing you in to the moment, being mindful of what your doing, relaxing your body giving you some well earned me time.
I was advised to use Mindfulness Meditation by my Rheumatologist to help me with my Chronic pain & Fibromylagia, I have been doing this for around a year but still haven't managed to help with my pain, What it has done is help me relax and sort out my thoughts, I get me time and when I am feeling overloaded it seems to help lift the heavy weight. I also suffer with depression, if I can catch myself before I go to low I can meditate which helps me sort my thoughts out, being in the moment and able to deal with a few of my problems. The more you do this the more is will benefit you, I try and do it at least once a day.
When and if you try this you will find what works for you, I like to make sure the house is empty, my dogs walked and settled, doors locked and house checked that everything is off so I don't have to think about anything else other than my breathing. I prefer to lie on my bed with the curtains closed, I am propped up with 4 pillows, lying on my back I lie back get into a comfortable position, making sure my knee is supported as without the support the pain gets worse. Some people like to sit up in a chair, it your meditation so you decided what works for you.
Once I am comfortable phone turned off, you don't want to be disturbed you can close your eyes are keep them open, listen to your breathing counting in 1, 2, 3, out 1, 2, 3 that's all you need to do, let your body relax with every breath. It does take a while to stop focusing on each thought, washing up needs doing, what should we have for tea etc Let them thoughts come in to your mind then let them leave, your body will relax as will your mind. This gives your mins a break from all the work it does. I do my session for around 20 minutes. depending if i fall asleep that's the reason I check the house for my own safety
Once your session is over you will feel relaxed and in the moment, just you and your surroundings, nothing else to think about. Being mindful, knowing what to do next.
After my me time I feel better, relaxed and in tune with what's around me, I feel rested in my body and mind. My next goal is to try and see if I can do it whilst I am in pain. That will be harder as I feel pain most of the time but usually do my session once my medication is working, doing it when I am suffering with pain means I have to be ready to do the mediation anywhere, sitting and lying down.
