Three guided meditation tracks you can try right now to get you started on your mediation journey.
Meditation is one of the best practices in my arsenal of self-care that brings me to balance and helps ground me. I try to do it every day and have periods where I’m on top of it and come to my mat daily to follow a program or do my own thing. There are other periods when I miss days at a time, and I certainly feel the difference in myself when I’m not making it a priority. Each meditation session I do is different. Sometimes I utilize mantras, do a challenge with a teacher online, or use my trusty app: Insight Timer! I’ve been using Insight Timer for a long time (Click here for a post I wrote about Insight Timer from 2014!) and either use the timer feature and sit in silence, or I follow a guided meditation on the app. I have many favorite meditations saved on my phone, as when you sit to start meditating, you do not always want to search for a new one to use in that moment.
Below are links to three meditations for you to check out. (You do not need to have a subscription to listen to any). Let me know what you think about them! I hope they come in handy! Also share your favourite meditation track with me! Happy Meditating!
Mediation Links:
Meditation #1: An Invigorating Breathing Exercise by Wim Hof
This one was part of a morning meditation challenge where different teachers presented a meditation every day. Each one was a different style, but I keep coming back to this one and use it at varying times of the day, not just as a morning meditation.
Mediation #2: Drift off into relaxation with Jennifer Piercy
I could do a whole post about the fabulousness that is Yoga Nidra and Jennifer Piercy, the teacher who shares this guided track below, will surely be mentioned. I have sent this specific meditation to several people when they complained they couldn’t fall asleep. All, but one, of them said, they fell asleep in 5 minutes after starting the track. The key to this meditation is to stay completely still and avoid fidgeting. Get comfortable in the position you want to fall asleep in, stay still and listen to her voice. Concentrate on the body part she is talking about, and you are sure to drift to sleep having one of those deep sleeps your body probably needs.
Meditation #3: Better with Paul: Morning Affirmation for Positive Thinking.
I really enjoy this one. Again, this is one you can use any time of the day. He begins with a conscious breathing session to start and then he moves into sharing some fabulous affirmations. Listening and reflecting on the words in your mind is just the thing needed to not only feel centered but also leave you feeling empowered!
