I Started a Meditation Practice to Help Me With Sobriety, but I Found Something More
<p>Long before I started a meditation practice, someone told me to take a breath and check in with my body. I had no idea what that meant, but it was worth a shot. She said, “Just take a moment and think about how you feel. How does your body feel? Are you holding your shoulders up near your ears? Think about your breathing, about your heartbeat, etc.”</p>
<p>If you close your eyes and do this right now, I’ll bet you notice a few things. You don’t have to act on them, just notice them.</p>
<p>I didn’t know it at the time, but this was my introduction to meditation.</p>
