Meditating throughout the changes of the season can have
such profound relief and a different notion of remaining calm during tough
situations. For example, if you feel overwhelmed, speechless, and without
knowing what to do with your decisions; You can meditate more during the spring
season. The spring season is a time full of possibilities, opening yourself to
love, and feeling the peacefulness in nature. This season is considered a time
for new initial stages in life to welcome new opportunities, and new
friendships, and take care of yourself among the chaos. It is an exciting time
to feel more creative without worrying about your job, your friendships, or
your relationships.
It is recommended to work in your garden by planting new
seeds with the hope of seeing new fresh plants and flowers to uplift your mood.
Practicing mindfulness in the garden can be effective in your mood. Take care
of your garden as the seasons change and with optimism that everything will be
satisfactory. Dry plants, dry leaves, and removing weeds and knowing that it is
a transitional stage in gardening just like the negativity that is temporary in
your life. Every time you are in the garden, you can feel a sense of peace for
a brief time as you maintain your plants.
The spring season renews your hopefulness for overcoming
tough situations and trials that life brings to you. Therefore, you can also do
contemplative meditation especially if you do not know what to do or how to
approach certain matters that you are facing in life. Sitting down, laying
down, or simply being in a comfortable position to tackle your deep feelings
that you may often ignore. Do cluster diagrams in silence, write in your
journal, doodle, or write down the thoughts that come to your mind. Do a
self-reflection of what needs to be improved, changed, or what is out of your
control to calm your mind.
Breathing techniques while contemplating and observing how
your body feels and what thoughts arise while you reflect. You can do this by
using one word to help you relax. Say the word silently in your mind such as
“Gladness” while you inhale and exhale “Sadness.” Do this for about ten minutes
to lower your blood pressure and relax your nervous system. Change your
positive affirmations or mantras as the season changes or what you want to
focus on to help you feel serene.
Wear comfortable clothes and layer your clothes depending on
the weather. Practice ways to relax and do things that you enjoy doing to help
you stay calm. Everyone has a unique way to remain calm during tough times and
not every technique works for everyone. Practice mindfulness, yoga, movement
meditation, or any other form of meditation to find your composure. Connect
your mind with your heart while controlling your emotions each time before you
speak.
Meditate indoors or outdoors to improve your mood and to
feel good about yourself. Although it is difficult to meditate during the
winter and summer seasons; Meditating indoors can still be useful for your
sleep, mental, and emotional state. Often the changes in the weather make it
hard to concentrate and calm your nerves. Aromatherapy through a reed diffuser,
humidifier, or incense gives you instant tranquility. The autumn and winter
season is an enjoyable time to rethink, focus, and let go of the negativity
from your past.
Learn to meditate and adapt your mind to be more conscious
about being kind to yourself and to others. Every season brings a fresh start
to something new, something that needs to be learned, something to be
experienced, and to get to know yourself better. You are continually growing,
improving, and changing yourself; And meditation can help you breathe in and slowdown
in this confusion you may have. Be encouraged to try various forms of
meditation and mindfulness as the seasons change. Do not get bored while
meditating and eventually you will notice a new perspective on yourself.
