Prática de Shadowing: How to Meditate 🙏🏼 - Aprenda a falar inglês com vídeo

Criando lição...
1
Meditation is a habit I've been practicing for the past two years.
2
It's so simple, yet can be so difficult at the same time.
3
But I keep on trying because I strongly believe in the power of meditation to enhance our quality of life.
4
The purpose of meditation is to clear your mind and practice being aware of the present moment.
5
There are so many benefits to meditation, whether it's physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual.
6
I don't think I can name them all.
7
But to start, meditation can help you calm your mind, de-stress, and find inner peace and balance.
8
It can help improve your focus, your metabolism, and your sleep.
9
It can also increase your productivity, creativity, intuition, and happiness, and reduce aging,
10
boost your immune system, and add incredible value to your overall well-being.
11
First, find a quiet space where you'll be undisturbed for a period of time.
12
Then, sit cross-legged on a cushion or in a chair with your feet flat on the floor.
13
Whatever your sitting position, make sure your back is straight but not too tense.
14
Imagine a string from your tailbone pulling all the way up your spine to the highest point of your head.
15
Softly close your eyes and begin to breathe slowly and deeply.
16
Your mind should follow the path of the breath going in and out of your nose.
17
If you notice yourself drifting off into your thoughts, simply bring your focus back to your breath.
18
Be the observer of your thoughts, but don't engage in them.
19
The goal here is to enter the gap, the space where you're aware of yourself and what's around you, but your mind is actually not thinking anything.
20
This awareness is your consciousness.
21
It's your soul. So start small.
22
Try meditating for 5 minutes a day and you can build from there.
23
I recommend using a meditation timer.
24
My favorite one is Zen Friend.
25
Find a time that works for you that you can incorporate into your daily routine.
26
I like to meditate for 20 minutes in the morning after I journal.
27
Creating a daily meditation routine won't always be an easy journey.
28
So keep in mind patience, perseverance, and non-judgment.
29
Be patient with yourself, for the time will pass anyway.
30
Persevere even at times you want to give up.
31
And don't judge yourself when your mind wanders.
32
Just do your best.
33
You can try putting on some relaxing music or sounds of nature while you meditate.
34
Or try following a guided meditation.
35
I highly recommend the app Headspace.
36
I think it's so beautifully designed and so user-friendly.
37
If you want to get more advanced, you can incorporate a mudra or hand pose for your meditation.
38
Here are just a few examples.
39
Palms up to receive, palms down for grounding.
40
This mudra provides calming energy for deep contemplation and reflection.
41
It's useful for increasing self-awareness.
42
This mudra generates knowledge, wisdom, creativity, and calmness.
43
You can either face your palms up to receive or down to feel more grounded.
44
This mudra symbolizes patience and and discipline, and it helps generate a feeling of stability.
45
This mudra represents energy and health and provides a feeling of self-confidence and balance.
46
And this mudra symbolizes communication and openness.
47
It can help strengthen your intuition and feeling.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
