Guided Mindfulness Meditations
“Just 10 minutes of daily mindful mediation can help prevent your mind from wandering and is particularly effective if you tend to have repetitive, anxious thoughts", according to a study carried out by the University of Waterloo.
Here you’ll find a selection of brief but very effective meditations that can be used to help ground you and renew your sense of awareness of the present moment, anytime throughout the unfolding of your day. If you’re looking to get the most out of your meditation practice and the day itself, it is recommended that you begin and end your day with one of these practices. (or more if you feel drawn to) Don’t be afraid to change it up remembering that variety is the spice of life!, and in opting to change up your practice and habits each day, you’re making the conscious effort to disengage once more from the automatic pilot of the mind and its natural tendency to wonder.
“It is better to meditate a little bit with depth than to mediate long with the mind running here and there. If you do not make an effort to control the mind it will go on doing as it pleases, no matter how long you sit to meditate.” -Paramahansa Yoganada
Thank you for reading and good luck with your practice!
P.S: The Mindfulness of Breath Meditation is a great place to start.
