Meditation has amazing benefits and deserves to be in everyone's daily routine. The hardest part about meditation though, is getting started and staying consistent. Here are some tips for beginners and some easy (& lazy) ways to meditate. Let these ideas inspire you to meditate daily! What are your tips on meditation for beginners?
// Meditation Tips for Beginners:
1. Start small. Try doing 10 breaths at a time. Then try meditating 2-5 minutes at a time and increase from there.
2. Meditate anytime during your day. Don’t feel limited to mornings/evenings.
3. Use mantras & affirmations to help you focus during meditation
4. Meditate on the go while driving, cooking, cleaning, showering, walking, etc. Use every activity as a meditation & mindfulness practice!
5. Listen to binaural beats
6. Listen to soothing meditation music
7. Try guided meditations

Sidenote: A couple technical difficulties in this video! Quick passing clouds (constant change in lighting) and my mic's battery died in the middle without me realizing it! I had to put new batteries in and start where I thought I left off. Lol hope it wasn't too distracting. Motto: Done is better than perfect.

Lakshita Ankem same! <3
😘😘 ty for being here!
Lavendaire that is soo sweet of you!!! Thanks for replying!!
I love this Aileen! Thank you so much for sharing these apps with us as well – I will definitely be checking these out! I am quite good with being in a meditative state for the most of the day while doing mundane things but I have noticed that I have stopped taking time off just purely for meditation. This reminder is a gem! <3
Your previous video on meditation is what got me started last year. It changed my life and opened my mind. Every time I feel I am losing motivation to do it, I go back an watch it.
that’s amazing!! 😍
This was so awesome, thank you! I’ve been “trying” to meditate and it’s been difficult and frustrating, and I think it’s because I was aiming too high for a newbie. I 💛 the idea of ten breaths!! That’s so doable! I’m going to check out the binaural beats, too. Thank you so much!
I was doing the same! “Trying” meditate with high standards. But then I realized that even a small effort (like taking 10 breaths) was better than no effort. Good luck!
Pahla Bowers Binaural beats are great. I like to do deep breathing meditation in the morning but binaural meditation at night. Morning to clear my mind and night to relax my body.
I love your content so much, every single video is inspiring and uplifting! thank you so much for creating the things you create ❤
thank you <3 I appreciate your support!
Yes thinking positive thoughts during meditation is a great way of making your day better, especially in the morning. Great one!!
I have watched atleast 20 of your videos today. For starters it got me to clean my study table .
Looking forward to include more of your ideas like drawing comparisons and also applying the law of attraction.
Basically Aileen, you are achieving what you want : bringing in positivity into this world . And I thank you for that !
hello there! I am not used to comment a lot but I just wanted to thank you because this video is really helpful, especially the repeated affirmations. Also, I wanted to point out the insanely effort you put on making those high quality videos. Your progress is extremely visible and you always keep on getting better and better and better… anyway, sorry for the long comment… wish a great day/night and keep it up!! 🙂
Hi Aileen!! 🙂
Thanks so much for sharing these techniques! I really was searching for something like this!
Personally for me what works better is breathing at first, praying, and making in depth talks (reflections) about the things that happen in my life, specially in silence.
Well, have an excellent week!
Blessings!!
Great video! Thanks for the tips. I started to do the ten breaths standing under the shower. I find the sound of the water very calming. Greetings from Germany <3
Love this and all your other vids!! Thank you for putting such informational, inspiring, soothing content out there!
that video was so helpful, thanks a lot for that 🙂 its definitely something I still struggle with incorporating even though i hear soo much positive stuff about it. I think I’ll give the guided meditation before falling asleep a try – have a nice day gorgeous and thanks for the inspiration 🙂
Awesome! 👊 Been wanting to put meditation in my routine & it’s one step of mindfulness. Thank you for this! 💕
Thank you so much Aileen, this definitely gave me some new inspiration for how to incorporate meditation in my life!
I tried meditation today for 5mins. as a beginner. And I get withdrawn from focusing on my breath for many times but it felt good after I realized I didnt noticed that 5mins has passed! 😂 I loved it! ✨
Thank you Aileen ☺ you never know how much you’re helping a lot of people by your videos. You inspire me so much. ☺ you’re a blessing!
Very helpful advice for beginners or anyone struggling with keeping a consistent practice. Thank you Aileen.
