Meditation for Recovering Ninjas









While you’re in the process of going through recovery there are many things that you can do to improve your health and situation. Things like exercise and meditation are excellent outlets for you to attach to that don’t involve a lot of time or money. Meditation is one method of being able to clear your mind, sleep better and sort through your thoughts. Here are some other things about meditation that you may not know that can help get you back on the right track.





Meditation can be done anywhere. Because meditation is done with just your mind and no other tools or equipment are necessary, this practice is very easy to achieve in even the smallest of places. Find a quiet place, whether it's indoors or out, use a cushion, blanket or matt and make that your personal meditation area. You’re setting yourself up to be more disciplined and by giving yourself the frame of mind that you meditate daily using this blanket, or other place to sit on will enable you to make it more of a routine.





Meditation for recovering addicts. Quietly sit, with eyes closed, neck out, sitting up straight, focus all your thoughts on your breath. Breath gently in and out. Each time your mind tends to wander, grab your thinking and pull it back to focusing on your breath. By making your breathing the focus point, you are learning to train your brain to function when you want it. You are learning to control it. This is a vital process that will help you in other areas as well, but for now just focus on breathing and learning to close off all other thoughts until you’re ready to add more.






Meditation enables seeing, hearing, emotions and speech improvements. Blood flow increases during times of meditation. Your mind gets rewired and the gray matter responsible for muscle control becomes more productive. The key is to keep trying even when you seem like it’s impossible.

Don’t worry if you aren’t able to meditate for more than 10 minutes at a time. Know that even with these shorter intervals, you will be physiologically changing the way your brain is functioning for the better. Most people when they first start, find it difficult to control for more than 5-10 minutes. As long as you do it every day, you’ll be noticing a difference.
