10-Minute Meditation to Calm the Mind

Even a short 10-minute meditation has the power to calm your body and mind. Here’s a helpful guided meditation that in just 10 minutes a day can improve your well-being. Even though it's short, this is a complete meditation session including establishing proper meditation posture, motivating our meditation to be a force for good, stabilizing the mind on the breath, letting go of thoughts, cultivating beneficial thoughts, and a dedication to seal your meditation practice.A Guided 10 Minute Meditation to Calm the MindFour years ago, we created A Skeptic’s Path to Enlightenment to share the rich tradition of Tibetan Buddhist analytical meditation in a form that requires no belief beyond what science currently accepts. The first 40 episodes of the podcast gradually go through all of these topics, in order, beginning with appreciating the gift of our life and our place in the universe, and gradually moving up to cultivating boundless compassion for all beings and understanding the ultimate nature of our inner and outer realities. Over the next year, interspersed with new interviews, we will be re-releasing newly recorded versions of these talks and meditations.This week, watch two special events in New York City to talk about How to Train a Happy Mind, with musician and artist Laurie Anderson, and  DJ Spooky. Our new online community also launches this week, Train a Happy Mind with live meditations for all the topics from the book. Go to skepticspath.org for more details on the book events and our new community. I look forward to seeing you there!Support the Show.
