What is the secret: Is Taking Whey on an empty stomach ideal? Let’s Explain

How to practice Mindfulness

Follow the step-by-step: 

• Take your seat. Wherever you are sitting – chair, cushion, park bench – find a place that provides stability;

• Observe your legs. If you are on a cushion on the floor, cross your legs comfortably in front of you. If you are on a chair, the soles of your feet better be touching the floor;

• Correct – but don’t stiffen – your posture. The spine has a natural curvature, which must be maintained. The head and shoulders can rest comfortably on the vertebrae;

• Extend the arms in front of the body. Then let the hands fall on the legs. The hands land in the right place, neither too stiff nor too loose;

• Drop your chin a little and let your gaze fall gently downward. If it is more comfortable, you can close your eyes;

• Relax. Bring your attention to your breathing, or to the sensations in your body.

Special tip: mindfulness

The place to practice mindfulness should be quiet, relaxing, and neither too hot nor too cold.

It is also important that the place be quiet to avoid excessive dispersion or lack of concentration.

You can practice sitting or lying down. In the first case, have a pillow to feel more comfortable.

If you prefer to lie down, use a mattress. Make sure you will not be interrupted in the middle of your practice.
