MINDFULNESS MATTERS: Meditation

by Cynthia Runge

How meditation can support you through the divorce process.

When going through a divorce or another highly emotional situation, it is important to find a healthy way to manage stress. One way some practitioners and folks who have gone through the process deal with that stress is through meditation. When you are first getting started, 5 or 10 minutes of breath work and/or meditation can cause a noticeable release of tension in your body. Once you get comfortable with sitting for 5 or 10 minutes, you might find that you even look forward to “sitting” and begin to stay a little longer. Mini tip: Try sitting first thing in the morning before the rest of your day takes over. If mornings aren’t the best time for you, see what time works for you.
