Labyrinths, Sand Art, Yoga, and Meditation Tips (World Meditation Day 2025)
Every
year on May 21st is World Meditation Day. It is a day to relax
by coloring mandalas or making your mandalas to help you meditate. You can make
sand mandalas to help you concentrate. However, you can also make sand art with
waves, lines, circles, or other shapes to help you feel creative and to help
you focus. Making art can reduce your stress and help you feel serene.
Using your
imagination, you can visualize yourself swimming, floating on water, or guided
imagery to calm your mind and body. Nature guided meditations and stories can
awaken your creativity, imagination, and joy. You can practice yoga by
listening to guided meditation. Additionally, practice Fairy Yoga, Arctic Yoga,
Rainforest Yoga, or other yoga themes. For example, Fairy Yoga and Rainforest
Yoga can be practiced in your garden.
Incorporate
various Yoga poses for your yoga practice. Make sure you are in a safe area in
your garden and away from garden sprinklers. Begin by practicing the sun
salutations, tree pose, triangle pose, Warrior Three pose, King Pigeon pose,
Firefly pose, Dove pose, and other yoga poses. Another way is to practice Tai
Chi in your garden and gratitude meditation. Consult with your doctor before
practicing Yoga or other mind and body exercises.
You can also use
chalk and make a walking path with chalk in your garden to create a labyrinth.
Walking in a labyrinth can make you pace yourself and walk slowly as you feel
peaceful outside. It helps you meditate while walking in a circle, a long
straight path, and a curvy path in your garden. As well as assisting you to
release your worries, negative thoughts, concerns, and bad comments that were
said to you while standing in a circle or in the center of the labyrinth. After
that you might want to hold a rose or other flowers as you receive and feel the
peacefulness in your garden.
Continue walking
inside the labyrinth with self-reflection and practice self-awareness.
Labyrinths are like mazes except that there is a corner or the main space to
meditate inside it. You can make different shapes of labyrinths such as a
heart, a square, a triangle, flower, or a circle shape for meditating in the
center of the labyrinth. As well as placing bricks, rocks, and outdoor
waterproof flameless pillars that use batteries to light the labyrinth path.
Lastly, labyrinths can also have a flower path to make you feel comfortable in
your backyard and to feel joy.
Mindfulness can
be practiced while walking in a labyrinth. It can help with your healing
process and relax at home. Labyrinths can also help you practice forgiveness
and self-compassion. Nonetheless, you can say mantras as you walk inside a
labyrinth. If you participate in a meditation retreat, do not skip the
labyrinth for practicing walking meditation or mindfulness.
Use the hashtag,
" World Meditation Day" on social media to help others and to remind
them to relax before or after work. Participate in World Meditation events such
as yoga, tai-chi, mindfulness, or creating art as you practice meditation. If
you are at work, you can dedicate your lunch break or ten-minute work break by
practicing meditation with a stone, quartz, a flower, or with sand art for
concentration, creativity, and serenity. Lastly, you can practice Fairy Yoga in
your garden to feel energized, creative, and to feel imaginative as you relax
outside. Here are resources for World Meditation Day.
