Morning Meditation (10 Minutes)

This is a lovely meditation to wake up with. It focuses on grounding yourself and a counting technique that you can use throughout the day. I will guide you through a very simple meditation that I have found useful in my own life.

Transcript

Good morning as Our bodies come online Let's take a moment to acknowledge a new day By grounding ourselves in the present Take a moment to find a comfortable position That could be laying down seated or standing We will begin by taking one deep breath in through the nose and out through the mouth either eyes open or Invite your eyes to close And let your breath return to its normal pattern We will begin with a counting practice So place your attention on your breath Notice the rising and falling We will be counting to five Each inhale and exhale is one Count each breath and when you reach five start again I'll give you some time to experiment with this Notice where your attention is if you've stopped counting or reached a higher number by accident That's completely fine Just notice it and begin again the mind wanders Bring it back to the breath. You can't do this wrong. Just begin again in this moment You're doing great Another two minutes or so the mind wanders Acknowledge it and begin again We'll begin to wind down the practice So you can stop counting And if you'd like you can continue And we'll just sit with whatever is present in this moment Nothing you need to do just observe You can use this counting practice Whenever you have a spare minute throughout the day It only takes one minute to reground yourself So let's take one more inhale One more exhale If you've not already done so You can invite your eyes to open Stretch out a little bit and thank yourself For taking a little bit of time for yourself and You are ready for whatever this day brings
