Meditation
Music by Sudir
The CR Way builds on the centuries-old tradition of meditation, offering meditative practices for different purposes. Choose the ones that work for you:
Meditation Basics
One of the ways to practice meditation is to focus on the breath without changing anything about it. It’s like watching a boat on the water, gently rocking to and fro.
To make meditation easy, we have included two live meditation podcasts as part of The CR Way to Happy Dieting, which takes all the difficulty out of getting started.
Centering Meditation
“Centering Meditation” manages stress while increasing cognitive capabilities. As you learn to focus on the present moment, you develop a sense of happiness and calm that positively affects everything you do. Although Centering Meditation can be done any time, we prefer to follow some morning exercise followed by a Centering Meditation to help us get the most from each day. Listen to Happiness step number 6 in the CR way to Happy Dieting to get started.
Savoring Meditation
Eating should be a nurturing experience. Yet, many of us fall prey to the split-second, computer-driven lifestyle that prompts us to rush through our meals.
Savoring Meditation is eating in slow motion –savoring every delicious moment of food intake. More than just increasing enjoyment, Savoring Meditation helps prevent diabetes and heart disease by giving your body time to fully digest and process the food you eat.
Softness Meditation for a Good Night’s Sleep
The "Softness Meditation" is designed to help people get a long, restful night's sleep. Softness Meditation can help you melt into your mattress, making your problems fade away. On the other hand -- ever need a quick pick-me-up? Softness Meditation makes it easy to take a catnap to regain your energy. You'll find details in The CR Way to Happy Dieting, step 4.
