Meditation does require practice and patience, but there are various ways in which you can achieve a deeper level of concentration, such as incorporating aromatherapy, instrumental music, or nature sounds.

It will instantly transport you to the beaches of Los Cabos, where you can watch a beautiful sunrise while listening to the relaxing sounds of the waves. And follow the tips below to enhance your next meditation for ultimate relaxation.

4 Meditation Tips:

  • Wear comfortable clothes. Take off your shoes, you don’t need them for this! Instead, use clothes that allow you to move freely. 

  • Find a quiet place. In order to get more concentration, it’s important to look out for a place where you can’t get distracted or interrupted. 

  • Good posture is important. The proper way is to sit on the floor, on your knees or cross-legged, with a straight back and loose arms. 

  • Focus your attention on the sounds of the sea. Close your eyes, let your thoughts flow and imagine every detail of the ocean: Its smell, walking barefoot on the sand, and the wind moving the palm trees.
