Mediation doesn’t have to happen in a Buddhist monastery for hours to be real.
It can be a valuable experience you can enjoy at home and you don’t have to feel that you’re pushing yourself or sitting in some uncomfortable yoga pose to really matter.
When it comes to meditation, we should know that the morning mediations can be a real blessing in our routines like breakfast and showering or teeth brushing.
It helps us enhance our experiences of daily life and create a more positive outlook and reset our minds.
This is a moment for us, a moment to focus on our breaths, and to focus on ourselves. Below, check out the health benefits from introducing a morning meditation session to your morning routine.
The Amazing Benefits of Morning Mediation
Mental clarity
When we check out of the world and check in with ourselves, we can easily realign our thoughts and clear our minds.
Depression, anxiousness, and stress can be relieved thanks to mediation.
The more often you meditate, the more does this practice become a part of you and you reap its benefits.
Your energy levels increase
Engaging your brain in mediation creates some chemical reactions in you and gets your juices flowing.
Your endorphin levels rise and the focus on the breath calms you down and helps you improve your sleep quality.
Better sleep quality means more rest and higher energy.
You become more focused
Focus is a benefit of meditation.
Thanks to it, we learn how to focus and adjust better-to prioritize our thoughts on important things and improves our mindfulness and widens our attention span.
We address our thoughts and learn how to live a happier life.
How to Begin Meditating Easily at Home
Find the right spot-find a place in your home or office which is clean, quiet, and comfy. Sit on the bed or on a cushion. Keep a healthy and straight posture, but don’t push too much.
Set a timer- instead of allowing time to distract you or feeling that you’re late or you find yourself counting the seconds and minutes, set a timer and keep your focus on the mediation.
Always come back to the breath-our thoughts are a part of us and we can’t expect to ditch them all at once and on the first session.
The goal is to always come back to the breath and spreading your inhales and exhales.
Transform a thought into a focus on your breathing. Listen yourself breathe; listen to the flow of the air in your lungs and body.
