Candle gives light
One of the best techniques of meditation is by using candle. Keep a lightened candle and continuously gaze its inner flame (the red part of the flame). Try to concentrate on the flame.

Yoga is great because it gives that opportunity for meditation, otherwise, I find I don’t make time for it.
I’m working on being more diligent though!
Thanks for this informative post!
Agreed. I’ve been doing mantra meditation in the shower lately. Soothing and helps me stay present with the physical sensations.
Thank you for your comment!
I completely agree with the need for a few moments of peace, all too rare nowadays. It’s actually one of my most often returning rants, how everyone runs about with a constant background noise: human beings aren’t build for this speed, ergo modern stress and depressions.
What I personally found really good for relaxing are the meditation exercises on my WiiFit, with the added bonus of being easily available. Thanks for illustrating various techniques 🙂
Cool! I don’t have a Wii, but this is the main reason I wanted to get one. I’ve been trying to simplify lately. Simplify and slow down.
