Morning Meditation

This is a simple and short morning meditation to bring you into the present moment before you start your day.

Transcript

So we can begin by settling into our chairs,

Cushions,

Or if you're lying down on the floor or on a bed,

That's fine as well.

Whatever way you are sitting,

Find a comfortable position.

Something that allows your body to sit easily and naturally.

Just taking a moment to check into your mind state right now.

Checking the qualities that are present in your mind.

For many people mornings can be chaotic and busy.

You may feel like you're rushing or there's not enough time to do everything.

But with this practice we're going to allow ourselves to bring some presence and awareness To do this I invite you to settle your mind on an anchor.

Can be anything you choose.

Breath,

Body sensations,

Sounds,

Thoughts,

Emotions.

For these next minutes seeing if you can bring a relaxed attention to your anchor.

You've set aside this time to do one thing and that is to practice.

So if we get sidetracked by daydreams or planning,

Worrying,

You can just bring the mind back.

Train to start a chicken dessine.

You may find that your mind is calm or that your mind is busy and you're plagued with thoughts about what you have to do.

Either way,

Accepting this experience as your own,

Seeing if we can allow instead of resist.

You may find that your mind is calm or that your mind is busy or that your mind is busy.

You may find that your mind is calm or that your mind is busy or that your mind is busy.

Really appreciated the simplicity and the long silent pauses to sit with our anchor.

Nice voice and meditation. Would be nice to add some quiet music at the background

Thank you! 🙏🏼 Reminded me of the iBme retreats I attended as a teen — these meditations always feel like home. 💛

this is one of my absolute favorite meditations and i’d really love to know if this particular speaker has any other guided meditations available here or elsewhere online? let me know and thanks so much!

A perfect segue into unguided meditations. Lots of quiet space, minimal talking but well-timed vocal prompts.

I enjoyed the guidance and spaces to be free to settle the mind. Thank you 🙏

Nice, simple. Thank you.

I found it easy to follow and stay present.

Just what I needed. Not overdone. Loved it thank you.

Simple, effective. Thank you

I’m a beginner and i really liked this! The time flew by! Thanks :)

An uncluttered guided meditation to help maintain an uncluttered mind at the start of the day. Welcome silences allowed me to focus. Wonderfully mindful.

Thanks for this beautiful meditation. I love the silent periods. Namasté

Just what I needed this morning! Namaste 🙏

really nice for the intermediate meditator, no guided imagery just support to help wrangle your thoughts & stay present

I liked the silence pauses in the meditation. Sometimes guided meditations include a lot of talking and do not allow time to connect to your centering thoughts and then be still. I enjoyed this very much and will use it again often 🙏🏽

Not nosy, not interfering with my thoughts. Just the right amount of talk. This is what I have been looking for.

Beautiful! Very relaxing enjoying the present moment! 💕🙏🧘🏻‍♂️

Loved the quiet spaces in-between instruction. Thank you
