10 Minute Meditations

Feeling dizzy, confused or "ungrounded" - ground your energy & align with Earth's electromagnetic energy. After cerebral activity such as meditation and prayer - it is vital to ground and "come back down to Earth." Grab your onyx or obsidian crystal and try this meditation for grounding your energy.

Hold Black Tourmaline, Onyx or Obsidian in your nondominant hand. Take off your shoes & step outside. Close your eyes, visualize dropping roots from your core, extending into Earth, wrapping around Earth's core. 

"My feet are planted firmly to the sacred energy that flows through me."

The process of calming yourself & your energy is called centering or balancing and aligning your energy back to its natural state of flow. From this place, you're more "in tune" & receptive to energy & information flowing to you. Try this meditation using crystals for calming and centering.  

Hold Clear Quartz in your nondominant hand, sit with your eyes closed, take 10 deep breaths focusing on the sound of each inhale and exhale. Repeat to yourself or aloud:

"I relax my mind, body and spirit and find my center." 

We often lead from logic instead of intuition when making decisions. When we have so many decisions to make in so little time, we rarely "stop to think." When decisions get hard and following your gut gets difficult - try this meditation with crystals for indecisiveness.

Hold Amethyst and Citrine in your nondominant hand. Amethyst helps with intuitive problem solving while Citrine is for self-identity, helping you decide what you want. With eyes closed, repeat to yourself or aloud:

"I am in tune with what I need, and I trust my intuition to guide me to the right choices."

Feeling anxious is natural. However, living in a heightened state of anxious feelings is not natural. Constant worry, social anxiety, phobias and irrational fear can weigh on you emotionally and physically, throwing your hormones out of whack and causing you to feel less safe and secure. To enhance your sense of security use this mediation for anxiety: 

Sit in a quiet space with Garnet or Red Jasper in hand. As you inhale, visualize breathing in peace and on exhale visualize your anxiety flowing out of you. Continue for 10 breaths and repeat to yourself or aloud: 

"I relax into infinite serenity."

Blue Lace Agate's serene blue hues are calming for situational anxiety. 

Sleep is everything! If you are suffering with insomnia or irregular sleep patterns you know the pain of sleep deprivation. Stress, pain, foods, temperature and so many other factors can contribute to sleepless nights. In addition to adjusting any other factors, use this meditation for insomnia to help get a good night's rest!

Put a piece of Moonstone next to your bed to enhance relaxation and facilitate a deep sleep. Close your eyes and lie on your back. Breathe naturally. Starting with each foot, imagine tension draining out of that body part as you exhale - leaving it completely relaxed. Move to each arm, then your head. If thoughts arise, do not get stuck on it - let it go and circle back to the mediation. After releasing tension from your head, repeat: 

"I release the stress of my day and drift off into a deep, refreshing sleep."

 It's hard to stay motivated when when can't see immediate results. It's easy to lose sight of the end result when there is a lack of motivation to get us there. 

Using consistent visualization is key here. Use this meditation for motivation once or twice a day until you hit that goal!

Hold Carnelian and/or Clear Quartz in your nondominant hand. In a comfy position, close your eyes and breathe naturally. Imagine yourself already achieving your goal, details matter. Visualize what you are wearing, how you are feeling in that moment, how your life will look with this goal achieved. Repeat 10 times: 

"I am energized, focused on {name the goal} and motivated to succeed."
