7-minute practice · Start the day
Morning Peace and Positivity
The first few minutes of a day are an opportunity to set an intention rather than open with a list of demands. This meditation uses gentle attention and constructive thoughts to prepare for ordinary interactions. It is not about pretending that every difficulty has vanished. It is about choosing the qualities you would like to bring to the day.
Welcome this new morning without asking it to be perfect. Allow your face and hands to soften.
The timer is silent by default. Spoken guidance uses your device's built-in voice, not a prerecorded MP3. Voice availability, pacing and pronunciation vary.
