Drop In. Turn on. Meditate Out. – Skimbot Enhances Mental Escape

1. 1) Breathe naturally. Meditation does involve focusing on the breath and using it as an anchor for the mind but try not to think about the breath or alter it in any way. Simply allow things to unfold naturally, noticing the rising and falling sensation it creates in the body.

3. 2) Get comfortable with discomfort. People who are new to meditation — and even people who have been doing it for years — often experience negative emotions like anxiety, restlessness, and irritation while practicing. Rather than trying to resist these emotions, give them your full attention and allow them to come and go. Over time the mind learns to recognize these emotions but gets used to not getting caught up in negative patterns of thought — a skill that can be enormously beneficial not only during meditation but also in daily life.

5. 3) Take mindfulness with you. Before you finish meditating and go about your day, form a clear idea of what you are going to do next — maybe you’ll shower, or make breakfast, or drive the kids to school. Whatever the activity, try to carry the mindfulness you cultivated during your meditation with you into the next task and throughout the rest of your day.

Let Skimbot paddle the surface all day to create a clean pool environment that is swim ready the next time you want to take a dip. Swimming is also an active mindfulness practice – but that’s another Skimbot blog.
