Let's take it back to basics with this simple 10 minute meditation. This quick and calming practice is a great place to begin if you are new to meditation as it gives you a realistic look at a daily meditation practice. You will be guided through 10 minutes of turning inwards, observing and returning to the breath. Meditation is a practice of mindfulness, which is also a skill to be built. Cultivating mindfulness takes time and patience.

Too many meditation practices make false claims about clearing the mind and eliminating anxiety. While these are often pleasant side effects of meditation and mindfulness, they are not the intended goal. The only goal of a meditation practice is to be present; to observe the self in the current moment with acceptance and compassion. Daily mindfulness meditations, along with intentional calming strategies and routines work together to decrease anxiety while improving emotion regulation and overall mood.
