Day 6 and 7: Letting Go and the Body Scan Meditation

The letting go meditation consists of saying "breath" when you are focused on your breath, and saying "not breath" when you are not focused on it. When I first read this, I thought to myself, "This seems like it will be relatively simple..." 

Like all meditation practices, this was equally humbling: I started out saying "breath, breath, breath" but then I got sidetracked by the things I needed to do at work (which then led to non-work related thoughts :). I finished off the meditation by breathing very deeply as a way to stay focused on my breath.

On Day 7, I did the 15 minute body scan meditation. The body scan is very similar to yoga nidra or some savasana practices; however, in the kind depicted by Real Happiness, you are doing this practice on your own.

This required a great more of concentration on my part, as I swapped between focusing on my body, thoughts and breath.
