Pebbl Practice Session 3: Heart-Centered Awareness
(Back To Pebbl Practice Library)
Intention: Kindness
Congratulations, you are halfway through! Welcome to session 3. You’ve been doing great work, and day three’s meditation is one of our favorites. We are excited to share it with you! Our intention for today is kindness (more on that, below)
Daily Tip: Be Kind To Yourself
An essential key to successful meditation is kindness towards self. When we find ourselves in moments of quietude or stillness, we can be hard on ourselves. Being tough on yourself does not help you achieve your goals any quicker; it’s simply a bad habit. Instead, be gentle towards yourself as you commit to transforming your life. Don’t get down on yourself in meditation if your mind wanders, or you get bored, or the experiences you have in meditation don’t fulfill your expectations. Try not to compare your experience to others’. Be nice to yourself when you are not meditating, too. How you treat yourself is how others learn to treat you. If kindness towards self is difficult to tap into, try thinking of someone you love deeply and how you treat them. Now turn that feeling inward.
Location: Office/Living Room/Kitchen
For some of us, a central place like an office or living room may not be ideal as it may be too busy with lots of people and bustle. However, if everyone is out of the house or you have a private office, it can be a very comfortable place. Place your Pebbl on the floor or if you want to explore how it feels in a standard chair with a flat surface, you may be surprised by how the extra cush feels in an actual chair. We will be interested to hear what you think!
Time Of Day: Midday
In general we don’t want to meditate on a full stomach, so before lunch is a great time. This is also a natural transition in the day for most people, and it can be very convenient to meditate during your lunch hour.
Continue to grow your practice by adding time through these bonus meditations. The goal is to build up to twenty minutes daily, but try not to jump ahead until you’ve mastered five minutes consistently. It’s okay to take it slow. Remember, we are building our mindfulness muscle. Pacing and consistency is key.
