What meditation looks like these days

I love meditating and I love the benefits it offers, yet I struggle with finding the time. Before Lennox was born I would go to yoga five times a week, I would hike or run a few times a week and I would try my hardest to sit down and give myself a few minutes to meditate. You would think that when I got pregnant I would have devoted some quiet time to my meditation process, but I didn’t and now I feel so far away from it. When I heard about Muse I was excited because it assists you with your meditation practice. It actually tracks your brain waves and helps to keep you in a meditative state by adjusting the sounds you hear to get you back on track. Now let’s be honest, this is really what meditation looks like for me these days LOL! Lennox on my lap looking around, giggling, laughing and wondering what the heck is on mommy’s forehead! It’s the brain wave sensing headband that caters my meditation process to me. Now when Lennox is napping I will try and sneak in some meditation on my own, but if not, I can put in my earbuds and zone off for three minutes! I think you will be happy to know that Muse is now sold at Target and is going to be a part of their Black Friday Deals!  You can buy the Muse at Amazon as well if you like that speedy delivery thing and their Black Friday Deals 🙂 So whether it’s you that may need help quieting your mind and calming down, or a family member or friend, this is an awesome gift! It’s definitely on the top of my list for Black Friday Deals! I know my parents and my hubby will definitely benefit from this awesome technology.

Additional info about MUSE!!

 Muse is a brain sensing headband with an app that makes meditation easier, would like to help you put the “Om” back in “Mom.”  From a good night’s sleep, to busy schedules, to work and family-time instead of me-time, we understand all the sacrifices moms make and the effects they have. Did you know that meditation has been scientifically shown to reduce symptoms associated with stress, depression and anxiety, as well as improve overall well-being? The many health benefits of meditation have been well covered in recent years. For example, Time Magazine recently released a Special Edition titled Mindfulness – The New Science of Health and Happiness and Harvard Medical School recently published a study suggesting that “mindfulness changes the [physical structure of the] brain” (https://hbr.org/2015/01/mindfulness-can-literally-change-your-brain)
To help you add a little mindfulness to your routine, checkout Muse! This high-tech, brain sensing headband provides you with real-time audio feedback on what’s happening in your brain when you meditate, lets you know when your mind wanders, and teaches you to regain focus. Muse is your personal guide to meditation as you journey toward a calmer and more present self – anytime and anyplace.
Think of Muse as your personal meditation assistant – simply put on your Muse headband and headphones, launch the app, close your eyes, and immerse yourself within the sounds of a beach or rainforest. While you meditate, the headband uses brain-sensing technology to measure whether your mind is calm or active, and translates those signals into guiding sounds. When you’re calm, you’ll hear peaceful weather sounds, and when your mind wanders, the weather will intensify and gently guide you back to a calm state. After your session, you can review your data, set goals, and build a deeply rewarding meditation practice!
