Three Ways to Meditate in the Summer Season

Meditating in the summer is challenging especially if you feel tiredness and sleepiness throughout the day. Yet, meditating in the summer can help you connect with nature by using your senses more, especially if you meditate outdoors. Feel the sand go inside your sandals while you walk on the beach. Be careful walking barefoot on the beach especially if there are glass, crabs, and other sea creatures. Nonetheless, you can also purchase color sand and feel the sand with your hands while you make sand art.

Feel the grainy texture of the sand and see the colors of the sand. Move the sand slowly and gently with a sand shovel. Use a flat bowl and pour the sand in it. Feel the sand with your hands and make waves, lines, zig zags, or any other design. Keep the sand bowl with the sand on your desk or coffee table so you can practice meditating with sand art.

Another way to meditate with sand in the summer is by purchasing a moving sand art picture and doing visual meditation while the sand moves. Sit quietly and watch the sand move inside the glass picture frame. Play ocean sounds and watch the moving sand from the glass picture. Also, you can make your sand art picture frame by using various color sands or you can make a sand art in a glass bottle with a cork top. Make sure you can see the sand so you can move the bottled up and down or the picture frame.

If you like to meditate with flowers, you can meditate by using tropical flowers. You can use Hibiscus, Jasmine, Clivia, or any other flower. Hold the flower and sit for five minutes. See the flower petals, stem, color, and other features. Make an essential oil tropical blend with a carrier oil to apply to your skin.

For example, you can use Patchouli, Jasmine, Eucalyptus, Peppermint, or Ginger and Lavender. As well as making a tropical essential oil blend for your diffuser. However, you can use any essential oil scent to make you feel serene and to welcome the summer season in your home. You can do this at night if you have a tough time sleeping at night. Wash off the essential oil blend in the morning and write in your summer journal.

Additionally, you can meditate with water by throwing flower petals in the water. You can use a large bowl, an inflatable large pool, or your swimming pool. Get one flower from your garden that has dry petals and carefully remove each petal. Throw the petals in water slowly and move the petals in the water. This can be done as an emotional release and for emotional healing.

Nevertheless, these are just three ways to meditate in the summer. Meditating in the summer can be done for five to fifteen minutes per day. It can help you connect with nature and with your feelings. As well as enjoying the summer season slowly. Here are resources for meditating in the summer.
