Good morning. Welcome to a brand-new day. The sun’s up now. It is the perfect time to stop, breathe and get to know yourself before the day gets too busy. You will only need 10 minutes of meditation each morning and you will wake up with a calm mind, an open heart and a lovely perspective. This simple morning meditation will get you centered, focused and ready to go for the day.
Let’s discuss into a simple easy-to-follow meditation practice you can use every morning to help bring peace, clarity and energy into your life.
Why Morning Meditation Matters
One of the most significant things to get right in the morning is the flow for the rest of the day. It can be so easy to go through the motions of your morning to just get out the door and into work or errands, but that just leaves you frazzled or stressed all day. Taking just a few moments to meditate during the morning helps calm the mind, lessen anxiety and heighten focus. A mindful morning serves as the setup for a balanced, peaceful day.
10-Minute Guided Morning Meditation Whatever your case, whether you are experiencing your meditation for the first time or are a seasoned practitioner, this guided meditation is easy, powerful and will help set you off to a clearer day. All you need is a quiet space, a comfortable chair and a few minutes to reconnect with your breath.
- Get Comfortable
Find a quiet room in which you won’t be distracted. Sit down comfortably-you may want to sit on your mat, sit on a cushion, or sit in a chair. Cross your legs if you’re going to sit on the floor or rest your feet flat on the floor if you sit in the chair. Gently rest your hands in your lap. Keep your elbows relaxed by your sides.
Allow yourself a moment to settle in where you are. Close your eyes and reach into your breath for a moment. Connect with it a little more intimately.
- Connect with Your Breath
Inhale deep down through your nose…
And exhale slow and easy out the mouth.
Take some time noticing how the breath feels entering and leaving your body. As you breathe in and breathe out, let your entire body relax. Release any tension you might be holding, letting go of the need to do anything but pay attention to the sensation of the breath.
Breathe in…
And breathe out…
Feel the soft beat of your breath moving you into the present moment.
- Gratitude for the Present Moment
Now, take a moment to appreciate the gift of this new day.
Thoughts Thank yourself for taking time to meditate and reconnect with your inner self.
Thank your body for giving you the breath to breathe, the capacity to feel, and experience this moment.
Thank the world around you—for the sun, the moon, and the earth beneath your feet.
Inhale…,
And exhale….
Allow the thanks to be in your heart and peace of this current time to surround you.
- Letting Go and Releasing
Continue to breathe now, letting go of thoughts and concerns for what will happen tomorrow. There is no urgency. All will be as it should.
Breathe in peace,
Breath out tension/anxiety.
Clear mental cobwebs and let your self simply be, in this moment.
5. Create a Goal for Today
As you become centered, define a positive intention for the day ahead of you. Do you want to be calm, productive, or perhaps just enjoy the moment? Whatever it might be, take a second to invite that in to your day.
You can use this simple mantra:
“Today is a glorious day of possibility. I am exactly in the right place. I open myself up to the universe, trusting in the unfolding of my life.”
Repeat the mantra silently or aloud to yourself and allow it to enter your mind. When you notice that the thoughts escalate, bring them back gently to the mantra and present.
- Accept Positive Energy
Redirect your attention again to the breath.
Deep breath in. Fill your body with all that freshness with positive energy.
Slow exhale. Take away all the rest of the tensions out of your body.
With each breath, fill your body, mind, and spirit with light, love, and peace. - Return to the Present Moment
Take some time slowly to bring back your attention to the present.
Pay attention to the way your body feels.
Notice the sensations in your hands, your feet, and your breath.
Breathe in, breathe out, reminding yourself that this peace, regardless of what the day ahead may bring, is there for you to call upon.
In the End: Drawing Peace into Your Day
You’ve only just spent 10 minutes grounding yourself, connecting with your breath, and setting a positive intention for the day ahead. And yet, as you move through your day, hold onto the peace of this moment; whenever you need to reconnect with calm and clarity, just breathe deep and return to the present.
Thanks for taking time out for yourself today. Wish you a peaceful day filled with lots of opportunity and positive energy.
From heart to heart—Namaste.
