Your days can be hectic, busy with work, meetings and people. In this way, the brain is used to always being in a state of action, and this tendency can often overwhelm you emotionally.
Therefore, it is important to be aware of the "present moment" for a few minutes a day.
Therapists (especially those who specialize in treating trauma) recommend lying on the floor for a few minutes a day because this practice can help strengthen your emotional state.
"The natural desire to lie on the ground for comfort in a crisis is really the origin of the whole therapeutic concept we call 'grounding,'" says trauma therapist and social worker Shannon Moroney, author of Heal for Real ".
Lying on the floor, with your legs and arms completely relaxed – brings you a therapeutic calm. In this position, it is easier to physically let the tension and worries pass for a few minutes.
During ayre minutes you will be present with your body and know what is happening inside it.
Because the floor is also the lowest place you can sit, lying on it can feel like an even greater surrender to gravity than lying on a bed or sofa.
Physiologically, a reclining position can also help your body regain its natural posture, allowing you to breathe more easily (especially if you tend to spend most of the day hunched over a laptop).
During this time it is advisable to take deep breaths continuously. Result? A slower pulse and a more relaxed state.
Getting into a meditative spirit may seem a little difficult or "foreign" at first, but gradually you will understand the importance of it all and as the days go by, it will come naturally to you.
Now, it is enough to find 10-20 minutes for yourself a day and completely let yourself go!
