Learn to relax and improve concentration with our meditation guides.
Example of a morning meditation that you can try:
Find a Quiet Space:
Begin by finding a quiet, comfortable spot where you can sit without being disturbed. This could be a chair in your living room, a cushion on the floor, or even a bench in a peaceful outdoor setting.
Set a Timer:
Decide how long you want to meditate. Starting with just 5 minutes is fine if you're a beginner. Set a timer so you don’t have to check the clock.
Start With Deep Breaths:
Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to settle your mind and body. Inhale slowly through your nose, allowing your stomach to expand, and then exhale slowly through your mouth or nose.
Body Scan:
Slowly move your attention through the different parts of your body. Start at the top of your head and move down to your toes, noticing any tension or relaxation without trying to change anything.
Focus on Your Breath:
Bring your attention to your breath. Notice the sensation of air entering and leaving your nostrils, or the rise and fall of your chest or belly. When your mind wanders, gently return your focus to your breath without judgment.
End With Gratitude:
When your timer ends, slowly open your eyes. Take a moment to feel grateful for taking the time to start your day with mindfulness.
Stretch and Smile:
Give yourself a gentle stretch and carry a sense of calm and focus into your day.
