The Ultimate Guide to Morning Meditation

Getting your morning started off the right way is extremely important. Setting a positive mindset before even stepping into the office can help to build the right momentum and be productive for the whole day.

How should we start the day? Should morning meditation be part of the routine before diving into various to-do-lists?

What is Morning Meditation?

An ancient saying goes: ‘Early to bed, early to rise; makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.’ People have always believed that morning is the most productive time of the day as one’s mind is fresh and replenished.

The first word which comes to mind when you think of ‘morning’ would be breakfast. Breakfast is often known as the most important meal of the day as it would replenish the energy and nutrients in the body.

If you are starting your day with a tall glass of water and a nutritious breakfast, you are on the right track to a beautiful morning!

How can we take care of our mental health in the mornings? How can we feed our minds and our souls to make sure we start the day off right? You might be missing out on one routine: morning meditation.

Choosing the morning to practice can be a great way to cultivate the habit of daily meditation practice. Starting your day with morning meditation can gently release grogginess and help set the perfect tone for a positive day!

Of course, you can meditate at any time of day, just make sure you aren’t too hungry or too full, as both can affect our concentration and perception.

Grandmaster JinBodhi’s Golden Words are self-affirmations perfect for establishing a positive attitude in the morning that will bring about a beautiful day.

Choose the words most touching to you and say them to yourself every morning, or read the Golden Words aloud one to three times daily, preferably early in the day.

Bathe yourself in the light of confidence and power and live to fulfill your life purpose.

Canada | Sadaf: Rejuvenating My Body and Spirit

One day, while I was bending down to pick up a laundry basket, I felt my back stiffen and a moment later, I couldn’t move at all. Family members immediately called for the help of paramedics. The doctor told me it was lumbar-disc herniation. This condition caused intense pressure on my nerves, leading to excruciating pain in my lower back.

My life seemed to be in total darkness: no hope, no future. I lost my usual vigor and liveliness. Confined at home, I had to lie on the floor most of the time. Due to immobility, I gained 13 kilograms during this period.

Five years after injuring my back, I discovered Bodhi Meditation’s 8.5-Day Health & Happiness Retreat. By the end of the retreat, 70 percent of my pain had abated. After the meditation retreat, when I did get the pain occasionally, I always recovered within two days. It was unlike in the past where the pain would persist for two weeks. My body feels rejuvenated. I am deeply grateful to Grandmaster JinBodhi.

USA | Ping Huang: A Renewed Life

I worked the night shift at a post office from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. My nocturnal lifestyle resulted in constant fatigue. Consequently, my health started showing signs of deterioration. In 2007, I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease while high blood pressure, insomnia, and pain came along too.

My hands and legs were weak and trembling. I relied on a walking cane and had to be extremely careful on the roads and in crowded places. Due to this inconvenience, I stayed at home most of the time. My days were spent weeping and feeling depressed. Thoughts of suicide ran rampant in my head.

In July 2015, I joined the 8.5-Day Health & Happiness Retreat. Initially, my legs were so weak that I couldn’t stand. My body ached to the extent that I had to sit on a chair to practice The Meditation of Greater Illumination. At the end of the retreat, I could stand to practice The Meditation of Greater Illumination and was able to walk an hour of Energy Bagua, and I could get up from a meditation cushion by myself. My sleeping hours doubled from three to almost seven hours a night without the aid of sleeping pills.

My daily practice includes The Meditation of Greater Illumination, Energy Bagua and full prostration. As my health continues to show improvement and I can move with ease without a cane, I am filled with joy and happiness.
