Hi Eric

Since you don’t have any preferences, why not think about something that you would like to do with your partner one day?

Do you have any ideas of what you would like to do for valentine’s day?

My technique for meditation is pretty simple. I focus on my lower abdomen and practice breathing from the diaphragm into my belly. There are loads of different kinds of meditation. If you experience any difficulty there is usually a different method that might be more suitable.

For example, when I started I had a lot of racing thoughts, anxiety and breathing exercises triggered PTSD. I had to use a different type of meditation from what I practice now. This meditation involved focusing on sensations in my body popping up. Allowing new sensations in different locations to draw focus. I didn’t really have to focus on one thing, it was helpful when my mind had a tendency to wander.

It’s helpful to practice when you are already at your most relaxed because learning to meditate can be challenging and being relaxed is half the battle.
