5-Minute Meditations

Short meditations improve the quality of our daily lives by giving us mini resets throughout the day to refocus our thinking. We set time aside to do a one minute meditation or a five minute meditation. It helps us reset our mood, emotions, temperament, and energy.

It gives us a chance to set our intentions and focus before we go into the next moment. Taking this time out has an incredible benefit on the quality of our day, as we become more of a director, setting up for the quality of the day, rather than letting it knock us around.

We have far more influence over the quality of our day than we think we do. And when we began doing the one and five-minute meditations, it's going to help you create that opening, to make any shifts that you want to make throughout the day, to change your focus, to change the direction of your mind, your emotions, your energy, your feelings.

There's enormous benefit in setting aside time for a one-minute or five-minute meditation to shift the quality of our thinking, feeling, believing, and doing. So thank you for joining me as I go deeper into the value of doing the one and five-minute meditations.

We can use meditation to do mini resets throughout the day. I teach meditation as a tool to help us improve the quality of our lives, and one of the most significant ways that we can do that is by doing short mini meditations throughout the day. I even encourage you to set a timer to remind you to breathe and pay attention to your breath.

The way that I have the mini meditations set up, the guided meditations are done in a one-minute meditation and a five-minute reset. We want to be able to do a quick one-minute meditation, because sometimes that's all we have.

A quick 60-second reset in the way that we're holding our bodies. It just sets the intentions for the next moment and to clear out what we've just gone through or been thinking about.

One minute is enough time to refocus and put your attention back on your body, your breath, and get you back into the present moment. And we can do that in a minute. We can also set intentions. And we can do that in 60s.

So let's say we are on an elevator to an unexpected meeting. We have 60s. We can set clear intentions for the meeting we're about to walk into. And we could do that within that short time. 

So it's a good tool. If you want to be able to run your mind,

Short meditations also give you enough time to do an internal check when you're starting to feel upset and you don't know why you're upset, breathe. Put your attention back into the body and a breath, and just allow yourself to see. Give yourself that space.

Give the upset space. By doing that, it lets you really see what's happening within, within your own being. Like, how are you really feeling about something? What are the thoughts that you're having?

And we look at it in one of our quick meditations. We can develop the habit of using short meditations to self-discover, to clear streams of thinking, and to refocus.

We can also achieve this in just five minutes of meditation. Sometimes we need more time. And the five-minute meditations do a lot of the same. So if you want to stabilize an emotion, and you want to do it in five minutes as opposed to one there are meditations to help you with that.

There are five five-minute meditations to bring attention into the body in a positive way. Bring in golden white light into areas of the body. To help relieve any discomfort that we're feeling sometimes. By taking this time, we are letting our system know that we're checking in. We're checking in with the self. We're tending to the self.

And we are going to be deliberate about the thoughts that we're thinking, the emotions that we're feeling, and the experiences that we're having. And that's where the mini reset proves to be a potent tool for achieving this. 

Moment by moment throughout the day, you can redirect your own thinking, feelings, beliefs, and experiences; you can change your perspective in a very short window of time.

And sometimes we want to, especially if we're going to have positive results or good outcomes. 

And that's why we do the mini mini reset.

It's especially powerful when dealing with family, because family has a way of making grown people act like children around their parents. Grown parents who act like normal people sometimes change when they're around their siblings, children, or family. Family has a way of triggering, triggering us.

And sometimes those triggers, they're hard. We don't want to go backwards, but sometimes we do. We can use the mini reset to avoid engagement with the negativity, not get pulled in, and work with those triggers. 

We are not little children anymore. We're not in the situation we were in five years ago. We are here now, conscious and dear beings, still loving the people that we're engaging with. 

We can engage with them in ways that are present moment and positive. And we could do that with anybody, with strangers, with families. We can be in the moment, real, and conscious, taking deliberate actions through mini meditations. 

I look forward to meditating with you, much warmth, Kim Owen
