How’s it going, my friend

I say this because, speaking from my own experience, meditation is a very personal thing.

Something unique to you.

At least, that’s how I feel when I’ve created a quiet space, set some time aside for me to do me, light a candle or two, and reconnect with myself.

A very emotional experience, at least for me.

Millions of people worldwide (including you) want to learn how to let go of their fears and reconnect with their authentic selves, despite the stress and pressures of everyday life.

 

“So, as much as I’ve written this post specifically for you, this is also for the millions of people actively searching for that light, something a little deeper.

 

Just like us.”

 

With that, let’s get into the 157 best meditation ideas for beginners, and may this post spark the light and positivity it’s intended to.

From guided meditation sessions, popular meditation apps, sleep stories, meditation exercises, and how to start meditation to the best meditation timer, how to focus your meditation, and a wide range of guided meditation tools for every taste, this blog has everything you need to get started your way.

As you’ll find out in this article, there are many forms of meditation, so grab a lemon tea, get comfortable, and go through this together.

 

Let’s do it!

 

What Are The Best Meditation Ideas For Beginners?

 

1.    Meditation Statistics

2.    Why Is Meditation Important?

There are many benefits to meditation, and for those new to the practice(and this was me once upon a time), knowing where to start can be daunting.

Passivity is the focus of meditation, awareness, and being a watcher.

How can your mind be passive if it swarms with ideas, feelings, fury, and impulses?

Well, it can’t.

This is where meditation comes into play and can change your entire universe.

 

3.    Benefits Of Meditation

As I’ve just mentioned, meditation has many benefits that anyone can enjoy, regardless of experience or skill level.

Different types of meditation are used for various purposes, such as reducing stress levels, improving focus, and boosting morale.

Below are a few of meditation’s many benefits:

 

1. Improved focus and concentration

2. Increased spiritual awareness and understanding

3. Reduced stress levels

4. Improved mental well-being

5. Mitigated anxiety symptoms

 

 

4.    Meditation Challenges

Don’t get it twisted; I’ve spent time and energy creating this article to show you how transformational meditation is and will be for you, your loved ones, and your coaching clients.

However, I’m nothing special, and I also get down and feel depressed sometimes, just like you, meaning that as well as the sunshine, I’m also going to give you the rain, as it’s impossible to love and appreciate one without the other.

Most entrepreneurs won’t tell you that, but I’m not like most entrepreneurs, unlike any other mindset and wellness blogger.

Big talk, right?

Lol!

Let’s look at some of the challenges you’ll face when getting started with meditation (or anything else worth sticking with until you see the proverbial sunrise).

 

• Change
• Over-reliance
• Self-doubt
• Panic due to lack of results

 

Trust me; you will face the above at one time or another and learn to face them head-on and kick their arse into submission.

The secret is to keep moving and never give up, especially now that you have me, James ‘Skywalker’ Franklin, in your corner!

Whenever you need someone in your corner, I’m here for you. Simple.

 

5.    How To Meditate

Being comfortable is the most important thing when it comes to meditation.

You’ll hear many meditation teachers and instructors discussing different positions to hold and get into.

We will, of course, be looking at those in this article, but the two most important things are comfort and balance, in that order.

We’re trying to create a level of peace within, so we must start by making that peace on the outside, and this is the main thing for yourself and your clients.

There are some things I like my clients to do to ensure they’re in balance within themselves and as comfortable as can be.

Let’s look at these now moving down the body:

 

• Head straight
• Relaxed jawline
• Relaxed shoulders
• Spine straight (make sure lower back is supported)
• Resting hands
• Comfortable legs

 

The critical thing here is finding a position right for you and, if you’re teaching, positions suitable for your clients.

What may be comfortable for you may not be comfortable for someone else, so always check this with others if teaching.

 

6.    Steps For Meditation

Let’s take a simple look at the three phases of meditation.

Before we get into each one, you must understand that each stage has its intricacies that must be acknowledged and understood to ensure you can make the most of each phase.

 

• Relaxation Phase – If you (or your client) haven’t meditated before, you must know that this phase can take longer.

 

This is a marathon, not a sprint, so give yourself time to relax naturally, even if it takes 5-10 minutes.  When you’ve been practicing meditation for a while, it will be like flicking a switch in your mind, and you’ll be there instantly.

We also focus on breathing, taking deep breaths, and allowing these breaths to funnel down to our abdomens.

 

• Intention Phase – This is where our meditation intention comes into play.

Maybe we’re searching for a particular truth in our lives, we want to carry on the relaxation phase, or we’re going to repeat a specific mantra or incarnation to embed it in our mind and soul.

How long you meditate is dependent on this phase and your ideal outcome.

Whatever you do, make sure your intention (or your client’s intentions) are set before you begin phase one.

 

• Return Phase is where you bring yourself or your clients out of the meditative state and refocus on your surroundings.

 

We can do this in several ways, but the simplest way is to focus on something in your room for a minute or two.

 

7.    1-Minute Meditation/Mini Meditation

There are many different types of meditation – from mantra meditation (which uses repeated phrases) to visualization meditation (which helps you imagine scenes or situations).

Once you are more comfortable with it, try meditating for extended periods or using different methods.

Start by doing 1 minute daily and gradually increase the duration as you get more out of it!

 

8.    5-Minute Meditation

In just 5 minutes a day, you can start to see improvements.

If you’re new to meditation, begin by doing some basic exercises, such as focusing on your breath and slowly returning your mind to the present moment after each inhalation and exhalation.

Stick with it for at least eight weeks before moving on to more challenging techniques.

There’s no need to rush things – mindfulness takes time to develop.

 

9.    7-Minute Meditation

Start by sitting comfortably with your spine straight and eyes closed, and take deep breaths through your nose, exhaling through your mouth.

Take your time with this process – let it flow as if it were second nature!

Once familiar with the practice, try meditating for 7 minutes.

Experiment until you find what works best for you.

10.                    10-Minute Meditation

With 10 minutes daily set aside, you can start slowly and work your way up as you grow more comfortable with the practice.

Begin by focusing on your breath and simply returning your mind to the present moment after each inhalation and exhalation.

As you get more familiar with meditation, try exploring different techniques, such as visualization or mindfulness of sound.

 

11.                    15-minute meditation

If you’re up, 15 minutes of daily meditation can be very productive.

Again, start by focusing on your breath and slowly returning your mind to the present moment after each inhalation and exhalation.

As you continue practicing, try switching up your practice slightly every week to reach new levels of mindfulness.

 

12.                    20-Minute Meditation

Just 20 minutes a day can help to reduce stress, improve focus, increase creativity, and much more.

To start, set a timer for 20 minutes and begin by focusing on your breath and returning to the present moment after each inhalation and exhalation.

As you become more experienced, try meditating for extended periods or using different techniques.

It should also be flexible enough to conform to your body shape and comfortable enough so that you don’t feel any pain or discomfort when using it.
