4 Easy Ways to Meditate

I have often recommended meditation to patients to help calm their mind and ease stress. Sometimes, I am met with puzzling looks: what does that mean? How do I meditate? Is it hard? Here are some simple ways to make meditation a part of your routine.

  1. Driving meditation: If you have a long commute to work, use that time to meditate! One of my favorites is quiet driving meditation. Turn off the radio, silence the phone, and just concentrate on your surroundings and your thoughts. Notice what comes to mind in the quiet of your car for the commute. Acknowledge thoughts and don’t judge them. Just like the cars passing by, so is your passing thought.
  2. Walking meditation: Take a moment to escape your desk at work or home, take a walk around the block without any other intention other than to be alone with your thoughts. As you walk, take slow, intentional, steps and notice your surroundings.
  3. Spiritual practice: Communicating with your higher spiritual connection is another great way to meditate. For some this means prayer, reading, or listening to music.
  4. Loving kindness: This is one of my favorite, easy mantras, to repeat under a social stressor when you may be faced with anger, unhappiness, or frustration toward another person. You can also repeat this mantra while thinking about loved ones near or far to send them peaceful energy: “May you be filled with loving kindness, may you be peaceful and at ease, may you be well.”

Give them a try and see which technique sticks for you!

Did you know that over 50 million Americans strugg Did you know that over 50 million Americans struggle with acne each year, and no, they are not all teens! If you're struggling with adult acne you are not alone. ⁠
⁠
The root causes of adult acne may vary, but knowing what they are and addressing them at the source is the best way to not only clear up breakouts but prevent them in the future. 💪🏻⁠
Have you tried an "Alligator Pear:? 🥑⁠ ⁠ I Have you tried an "Alligator Pear:? 🥑⁠
⁠
I know what you're thinking..⁠
⁠
"That's an avocado!"⁠
⁠
Yes, you're correct but it's also widely known as an Alligator Pear 😎⁠
⁠
Avocados are loaded with fiber and potassium, designed to aid in bloating and gas, while at the same time, their natural high content of fat helps you feel full for longer periods of time.⁠
⁠
The fats that are contained in an avocado are actually heart healthy fats and aid in cardiovascular function. ❤️⁠

How magnesium can benefit your blood pressure 👇 How magnesium can benefit your blood pressure 👇🏼⁠
⁠
Magnesium functions to alter the contraction and dilation of blood vessels. More contraction and stiffer vessels = higher blood pressure. 📈⁠
⁠
More dilated and relaxed blood vessels = lower blood pressure. 📉⁠
⁠
Research has shown that magnesium can support the ability of the blood vessels to dilate, and reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure.⁠
⁠
So, how do you know if you're getting enough magnesium?⁠
⁠
Anything that twitches, cramps, or spasms may be a sign of low magnesium status!⁠
⁠
Another way to look for magnesium levels is by checking intracellular magnesium or RBC magnesium. I can help you check this with labs 😉⁠
⁠
If you're low, try adding one or more of the sources mentioned above 👍🏼
