Three Ways to do Meditation for Mothers

Meditating while taking care of your child can be difficult especially when you are focusing on their well-being. However, there are ways to meditate as a mother which can help you relax or improve your sleep. As well as helping you to practice loving-kindness. Meditation assists you in concentrating on yourself and practice gratitude. Create a small space to meditate for three minutes or for thirty minutes.

One way to practice meditation as a mother is by being in silence for five minutes and being in a comfortable area. This can be done in the bathtub and lighting a candle. But if you do not want to use a candle, you can use a flameless light emitting diode candle on your bathroom sink countertop. Throw citrus peels in your bathtub and take a bath slowly while smelling the citrus peels. Citrus baths are calming and make it easier to relax while you meditate.

Focus on your breathing. Feel your muscles and your entire body relax. Another relaxing bath is using turmeric. Turmeric baths with honey, essential oils, and bath salts can be added to your five-minute meditation. Yet, if you want to meditate in the shower, a turmeric soap bar can be used to feel refreshed.

Any soap bar can be used to practice meditation or mindfulness in the shower. Another way to meditate is by meditating while your baby is taking a nap. Babies take naps for twenty or thirty minutes depending on their age. Nonetheless babies that are one to three years old can take one nap in the afternoon for one or two hours. Take advantage of this time to practice meditation or mindfulness in your garden, kitchen, porch, or your laundry room.

While your baby is taking a nap, practice stretching or movement meditation. Lift your arms up and down. Then lift your legs up and down. After that bend your toes up and down. Last, continue moving your body in silence.

The third way to meditate is walking meditation which can be done anytime. Practice walking meditation while you are with your baby. Use your senses and make sure your baby is secure in the baby wrap carrier. Walk with your baby at a slow pace without music and concentrate on carrying your baby.
