Meditation
Morning Meditation to Energise
Carla's note
A seventeen-minute seated morning meditation with the eyes closed. It begins by establishing the posture and aligning the spine, which remains a point of attention throughout the practice. Observation of the breath and visualisations of light follow, with the breath as the reference to return to whenever the attention wanders. The close carries the feeling into the day before the eyes open.Carla Gonçalves

It is worth doing this meditation five days in a row at the same time and noticing the difference.

About Meditation
The guided meditations are seated moments, eyes closed, with attention on the breath, the body or a visualisation. They train the mind as the poses train the body.
