Why It’s So Crucial To Start Your Day Right

Here are five reasons why it’s a genius idea to start your day with meditation.

1. Meditation helps you focus. Having a good memory can help you have more time to play because you don’t have to study so much or keep going over things multiple times.
2. Meditation helps you feel positive and calm. Meditation initiates you into a good-vibe way of living. You will regain a sense of optimism that helps you feel excited about each day.
3. Meditation gives you a connection to your spiritual essence. When you’re in that state half-way between waking and sleeping consciousness, you can tune into the expanded spiritual awareness that connects all of life.
4. Meditation enhances creative insights. By spending time in meditation, your third eye will start to open, reigniting the creativity you had as a child.
5. Meditation can help you to set your intention and reach your goals faster. This guided morning meditation directs your mental energy to the highest good in your life so you use to time in the most fulfilling way.

Besides these highly-valuable benefits, scientific experiments have also shown that our body functions better with a morning meditation practice.

The Health Benefits Linked To Meditation

Here are 5 science-backed benefits of meditating in the morning:

1. Meditation Lowers Stress Levels

Meditating helps you relax and stress less. When we are filled with stress, there are many problems that can be induced by stress such as psoriasis, fibromyalgia, IBS, addiction, and overeating.

2. Meditation Improves Mental Health

When seeking out treatment for any mental health issues such as depression or anxiety, meditation can be a great tool for refocusing our minds and taking time to check in with ourselves. Feeling a sense of desperation or loss of hope can be reduced by adding this simple habit to your morning routine.

3. Meditation Lessens Pain

Committing to a daily meditation practice has been shown to reduce inflammation in our bodies and therefore it is a great way to relieve pain. The cytokines released into the body from stress can create inflammation, so meditation can help lower those levels.

4. Meditation Improves Sleep Quality

Studies show that meditation helps you fall asleep sooner and stay asleep longer.

5. Meditation Improves Memory

There are studies that show that daily meditation can reduce age-related memory loss and contribute to a healthier brain. To ease the symptoms of aging, meditation can help you keep your memory sharp.

Using a guided meditation when you are waking up doesn’t cost any money and has so many life-transforming perks. Each day, turn on some morning meditation music and start your day with mediation!

Throughout the meditation, breathe slowly in and out of your nose.

Hey, you’re almost done! The last step is to get you in a high vibrational state and connect to your soul, the wise compass in your life.

Charging Your Aura

Now for the last step to your morning meditation, begin to take powerful and deeper breaths in your nose and out of pursed lips.

Envision bright energy filling your aura, the energy around you. Take five powerful and deep breaths.

Now feel how you are vibing high.

Alright! You are now ready to manifest positive things today.

Well done and keep it up.
