meditation2 vaughan counsellingMeditation is a mandatory part of my program. Everyone is expected to practice, and it helps with managing many mental health symptoms. I recommend that people interested in meditation attempt guided meditation. Many apps are also available that can provide a structured meditation program to help you get started. For those looking to start a meditation program, I recommend that they try deep diaphragmatic breathing. There are many videos online to help you learn how to do diaphragmatic breathing. You could also choose to breathe at a ratio of a 4-second inhale and a 6-second exhale. Of course, try to do what's comfortable for you. If this is not comfortable, try to find something that works. I often try to think of a beach scene when I breathe to help create an anchor for my mind to focus on. My work as a psychologist has led me to better understand the importance of meditation.

If you want to learn more, feel free to contact me and I would be happy to help. Here is what I help my patients with.
