Self-Guided Relaxation

While this room is intended for self-guided relaxation, we've provided links to useful meditation materials in the printed rules inside the room. Please feel free to use these resources to enhance your experience.

For example, you can use a simple and very effective mindfulness meditation technique suitable for all levels of proficiency - meditation with focus on breath (anapanasati). Your main goal - Just. Observe. Breath. Very simple, right? Yet, it could be the most challenging experience in your life.

• Your only goal is to observe your natural breath without trying to control it. Focus on the sensations of breathing, such as the air moving through your nostrils or the rise and fall of your chest. In case you feel bored or distracted - don't judge yourself, but just remind yourself that your one and only goal is to observe your breath.
• Posture - sit comfortably with a straight spine, close your eyes or keep them half-closed, and place your hands on your lap. If you are not sure if you are doing it right - just use common sense to keep your spine straight and at the same time keep your body relaxed.

Start with 5-10 minutes, gradually increasing to 20-30 minutes as you become more comfortable with the practice. Very advanced practice could take hours. Because of this, try to find such a position in which you could literally spend hours. Lying down is acceptable but could lead to falling asleep, which is contradictory to your main goal - Just. Observe. Breath.

Benefits:

• Improved focus and concentration
• Reduced stress and anxiety
