The death of a loved one is stressful, and it can drain you both mentally and physically. At Abriola Parkview Funeral Home in Trumbull, CT, we take care of funeral plans to alleviate some of the burden during this time. Our funeral home is devoted to helping you through this difficult process — which is why we recommend meditation after the death of a loved one. Read on for a quick introduction to meditation and learn how it could be of help to you.

Meditation might inspire images of zen yogis sitting under trees, but it’s much simpler (and more accessible) than you might think. First, find a quiet, distraction-free space and sit in a comfortable position on a pillow on the floor. Focus on your breathing — in through your nose and out through your mouth. You can try to gradually slow down your breathing, which will help you maintain focus. Some people will also repeat a mental mantra to help them maintain focus and clear their mind.

By making time to simply take a break, slow down, and focus on your breathing, you’ll give yourself some much-needed reflection and subtle TLC. If you don’t have a lot of time, try to take just ten minutes out of your day to meditate — even this little bit of time can make a difference.
