10 Minute Morning Meditations

You will find the meditations below the text. Please read the info and tips first.

Some info

The sessions are connected to each other, and I suggest making a commitment to these 10-minute meditations for 10 days. Like a “10-day challenge”.
Almost every meditation has a practice/exercise to carry into the day.

Sitting posture

If sitting cross-legged on the ground, it would be best if your knees are either at the same height or lower than your hips, you could sit higher if they are not.

Looking for an aligned posture, allow for subtle movement.

You can also sit on a chair, make sure the seat is flat and not to lean on the back of the chair if you can, feet parallel below the knees. You can also follow these meditations in standing posture.

Before sleeping:

There are numerous studies about the effects of the screen’s blue light on our sleep, advising to leave the screen at least 30 minutes before sleep.

Sitting 5-10 minutes before sleeping helps me recenter, and sleep better. Then I slowly and mindfully lie down and fall asleep doing a simple body scan, letting go of tensions in the different parts of the body, or just staying with my breath while the body surrenders into sleep.

Waking up:

I’d advise setting a quiet relaxing alarm clock, like downloading a singing bowl sound. That way we can wake up more softly, and it becomes a reminder of the intention of practicing. In waking, try and notice the breath first, and not get straight away lost in indulging the narratives of thought. Stay with the breath.
Very important: I’d advise to not check messages straight away! Just keep the meditations page open and ready on your computer and dedicatedly ignore all else. Then close the device when the recording ended :).
