Energize Your Body And Mind In 3 Minutes

This short practice can help you regain your creativity and energy when it has gone dull.

Letting light into the room can help us stay awake and clear rather than in the dark for this meditation.

If you would like,

Open the shades or turn on a light.

Allow the eyes to close and find a comfortable meditation posture.

Begin by tuning in to the experience of the body breathing.

Rest with each inhale and exhale as you feel the movement in the body.

To energize the mind,

You will start with the breath.

With the inhalation,

Breathe in a sense of energy and awareness.

Reach the body upward,

Straighten the spine,

And open the chest.

With the exhale,

Let go of sleepiness and distraction.

Now,

Allow the eyes to open.

Continue practicing with the breath with your eyes open.

Notice any sights that grab your attention.

I then invite you to stand up.

You invite increased alertness into your practice when you stand on your feet.

It's much harder to fall asleep standing up than sitting down.

As you complete this exercise,

Take a moment to shake out your body and get some energy moving.

Feel the warmth in your muscles as you move and return to your day with focus and creativity.
