Morning meditation: benefits and how to do it |

Meditating is an experience worth any effort to make time for. The easiest time is as soon as we wake up, because the chatter of the mind is still soft. I always wake up an hour earlier than necessary to be able to enjoy and do my ritual, which includes morning meditationunhurried.

Even when that’s not possible, it’s okay. It doesn’t matter how much time you have, the important thing is that you propose to do it. If you prefer to meditate at night, here you will find sleep meditation tips and exerciseswhich helps to slow down the mind and get a good night’s sleep.

In this article, I will talk about the benefits of morning meditation and also from how can you make it a habitapart from the guided meditation I made especially for you.

How do you wake up?

Today I woke up and the sun was hidden in heavy rain clouds. Starting the day with this gray look can cause me a certain melancholy. That doesn’t happen when the day is clear, with the sky blue and the sun at its full potential.

Rain can also be beautiful and welcome, but the colors of a beautiful dawn fill any attentive heart with joy.

In the same way that nature can influence our first feelings of the day, our thoughts are also very important for a harmonious and balanced course.

Waking up late, running, without saying good morning, is fatal to my mood – and it determines everything else.

Since I was a child, when my mother entered my room opening the curtains and talking loudly, it left me disoriented and angry. Noisy alarm clock, so I always end up wanting to throw it out the window.

I know that not everyone is like me, but I also know that time has shown me that these first minutes of the day make all the difference in anyone’s life, not just mine, regardless of preferences.

Benefits of morning meditation

In recent years, we have had the opportunity to come into contact with many articles, materials and research talking about the benefits of meditation. There is a real and strong awakening in relation to this activity that was so little used and known in the past years.

I am very pleased to realize that people who come to me for consultation to start a work of self-knowledge are almost always looking to meditate as well.

Although they still have the perception that meditating is the hardest thing in the world, they are always willing to do it. The image that meditating is something for an “enlightened monk or guru” is being diluted over time.

Meditating, focusing, being mindful, being in the present moment is a necessity in today’s troubled times.

The act of meditating is simpler than many people think, but more difficult to achieve in the short term, as taming the nature of the mind is always a challenge worth dedication.

To meditate, we just need to sit and be present here and now, watching everything. Take a good look: observing means observing, and not dialoguing, criticizing, judging, mentally commenting on everything we feel or see. Here in this article, you will find valuable tips to learn how to meditate.

We are in the habit of giving meaning to what we see by relating everything to what we already know. This behavior was developed by humans for self-protection. But it turns out that it ended up creating a stressful habit of judging everything around us.

We have a concept to defend about all situations at all times and this ends up creating conflict and stress. Even when we don’t have a clear concept about situations, we get stressed. It practically turned into a disease.

For this reason, silencing the mind in meditation is vital these days, as it promotes more peace, discernment and balance.

Here, in this text, I want to specifically address the benefits of morning meditation, which I usually do every day as soon as I wake up.

Massage your feet, legs, spine, arms, hips… Stop… and with your eyes closed feel, observe yourself for a few seconds. Now is the time to activate your brain in a balanced way. Sit up in bed even if you see fit and clench your fists. Breathe deeply and tap gently, activating all areas of your head: the intuitive and the intellect, so that you can count on better mental performance later on. Repeat this throughout the day if you feel tired or stressed. Tap your head with deep breaths, and after a while, with your eyes closed, observe yourself for a few more seconds. Once that’s done and already feeling awake, open the window and feel the sun. Let it enter your body and your life. If this is not possible, if the sun does not shine on your window, or the weather is rainy – standing up straight, with your eyes closed and your legs lined up and joined together at one side on the other, imagine a very big sun enveloping you completely and bringing to the cellular level the necessary energy for your whole day. Energizing, transforming, reorganizing your molecules to the point of balance and health. Feel this for a few seconds or minutes, as you wish or as you can. Once you are filled with sunlight, imagine your day as light, easy, and productive. Know that everything that may feel true right now has great potential to come true.
