Meditation is indeed a powerful tool to sustain a healthy balance between body, mind and soul. It can be performed anytime, anywhere during any part of the day to suppress symptoms of stress, depression, anxiety and fear. A guided meditation for the morning helps set the day right.

Meditation is quite similar to that of physical exercise. The more you do it, the more the benefits of it compound. When you meditate first thing in the morning, not only does it help set the tone for the rest of your day, it also allows meditation to be an easily formed daily habit, where the benefits can compound.

What is guided meditation for morning routines?

Guided meditation for the morning is a way to center your mind and clear distracting and negative thoughts before starting your day. One common form of meditation that many practitioners include into their morning routines is mindfulness meditation.

Benefits of guided meditation for the morning

Regular and frequent meditation keeps the stress at bay, enhances attention span, and amplifies mindfulness, just to name a few of the benefits of meditation.

When it comes to guided meditation every morning, it becomes a part of your morning routine and ritual. This helps make it a lot easier to stick to meditating every day, especially when you’re first trying to form the habit.

Additionally, it helps set the tone for the rest of the day. Mindfulness meditation is a great morning practice since it helps you train your attention and remind yourself to be more present throughout the rest of your day. With this awareness, you can carry it into the rest of your day, whether it’s for work, school, or before you go into the gym, where you might need a little more focus.

Finally, it can serve as a way to stimulate your mind, break out of the morning fog, and give you energy to go into your day. For some, this might be enough to replace coffee.

Guided meditations for a morning routine

A good guided meditation for morning routines is a short mindfulness practice right after you wake up. Many practitioners, right after using the bathroom upon waking, will go right into a short mindfulness practice. Even if you feel tired or groggy in the morning, that can be a point of focus and attention during your mindfulness session.

How to meditate for morning

During the mindfulness practice, pay attention to any feelings that may arise first thing in the morning.

You might notice that your mind tends to wander to planning the day, what you’ll need to do today, or other things you’ll need to worry about. When this happens, notice these thoughts without judgement, and gently return your attention to the breath.

You may also notice that you have feelings of grogginess and tiredness. This is fine, and something that you can incorporate into the practice. Notice these feelings, and begin to pay attention to them. Notice what happens when you notice these feelings. Does anything change?

Using a guided meditation for morning rituals makes it easier to notice when the mind wanders and notice these feelings of tiredness. They also help keep you on track and serve as reminders while you meditate to notice when the mind has wandered.
