Companion to The Mindful Vegan Book Meditation Practice: Day 1

In this audio, Lani Muelrath provides support for Day One of her book The Mindful Vegan: A 30-Day Plan for Finding Health, Balance, Peace, and Happiness. Today’s practice is for one minute, including instruction.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Each audio download is the same length of time as the practice time designated for each day. Thus, the audio download for Day One is one minute in length, Day Two is two minutes, and so on.

The first few days, instructions are provided for the entire length of the audio. As the days progress, though each day’s audio will open with guidance, there will be increasing segments of silence so that you can continue practice uninterrupted. Best practice is to utilize these audio tracks as are intended, as audio support for The Mindful Vegan book.

Day One reinforces the first step for setting up formal mindfulness meditation practice that is practiced in Day One of The Mindful Vegan book: position.

Transcript

This is Lanny Muehlrath and this is the audio support for day one of the Mindful Vegan,

A 30-day plan for finding health,

Balance,

Peace,

And happiness.

Today's practice is for one minute,

Including instructions,

Though you are welcome to practice for longer.

Today,

You will practice the first step for setting up formal mindfulness meditation practice.

Whichever position you have chosen,

Whether seated on a floor cushion or on a chair,

Your spine should be upright yet not rigid so that you can be at ease yet attentive.

Let your position be dignified and ready while comfortable at the same time.

Become aware of your body and how the body feels sitting on a cushion or chair.

Breathe deeply once or twice to help gather focus.

Let your hands be in a comfortable position on the tops of your thighs,

On the arms of the chair,

Or folded in your lap.

Be still in body for this one minute.

When the time is up,

With the sound of the chime,

Gently open your eyes.

You are welcome to sit beyond the chime for a longer practice.
