In the fast-paced world we live in, taking a moment to be present and mindful can be a challenge. However, the benefits of mindfulness meditation are numerous, ranging from reduced stress and anxiety to improved focus and creativity. In a YouTube video titled “Daily Calm | 10 Minute Mindfulness Meditation | Be Present,” Tamara Levitt guides viewers through a short but powerful mindfulness meditation session designed to help reconnect with the present moment.
The video begins with Levitt encouraging viewers to find a comfortable position with a tall, straight back and to allow their arms to rest gently. As viewers close their eyes, Levitt guides them to bring full attention to the present moment, allowing the mind and body to settle.
The focus then shifts to the breath, with Levitt instructing viewers to take deep breaths in and out, before allowing the breath to settle into a natural rhythm. The aim is not to force or regulate the breath but to let it flow naturally.
Levitt then guides viewers through a body scan, starting from the top of the head and moving down to the toes. This process involves focusing attention on different parts of the body, noticing any sensations, and allowing any tension to dissolve with each out breath.
Levitt explains that one of the common outcomes of meditation is a sense of relaxation. This is particularly beneficial during times of stress when our amygdala (the part of the brain involved in experiencing emotions) is activated, making it difficult to make thoughtful decisions. Meditation can help calm the mind, making it a useful tool during overwhelming times.
Levitt also emphasizes the importance of preventative meditation, encouraging viewers to incorporate meditation into their daily routine to prevent reaching a point of overwhelming stress.
