Here are some tips for beginners and some easy (& lazy) ways to meditate. Let these ideas inspire you to meditate daily! What are your tips on meditation for beginners?
// Meditation Tips for Beginners:
1. Start small. Try doing 10 breaths at a time. Then try meditating 2-5 minutes at a time and increase from there.
2. Meditate anytime during your day. Don’t feel limited to mornings/evenings.
3. Use mantras & affirmations to help you focus during meditation
4. Meditate on the go while driving, cooking, cleaning, showering, walking, etc. Use every activity as a meditation & mindfulness practice!
5. Listen to binaural beats
6. Listen to soothing meditation music
7. Try guided meditations

Sidenote: A couple technical difficulties in this video! Quick passing clouds (constant change in lighting) and my mic's battery died in the middle without me realizing it! I had to put new batteries in and start where I thought I left off. Lol hope it wasn't too distracting. Motto: Done is better than perfect.

If I have to be honest... I am kind of scared of the whole idea of meditating because usually when I am alone with my thoughts thing can get pretty...negative and weird... But a lot of people say it helps... I guess I should really find a mantra or an affirmation that will help me. Thank you for the great tips~ You made meditating sound like...less scary for me ^^
Han Hye Ri That is something that you should consider - one thing that can happen during meditation that I see few people mention is this: any trauma that you might've dealt with in your life can come up while meditating and it can be a bit scary if you're not equipped to handle the feelings. If you decide to meditate just keep that in mind. Ultimately meditation is about not judging your thoughts, not attaching a negative or positive feeling to any thought or feeling.
Anyways, if you decide to go for it, good luck! As it can also be very healing too. Have a great day! :)
Thank you very much for your helpful replay. I do have in mind that it might turn out not the way I want it to, but I think I should try it as I want to use meditation to help me clear up my head after a stressful day. I won't push my limits, though, of course ^^ It will be like try and error, you cannot be sure unless you try, right? ^^
Yes I think having a positive mantra/affirmation will help you in this case. Be gentle with yourself and don't judge your thoughts. Go in with an open mind and see what happens. I think it can definitely help you heal
Han Hye Ri Aww you're very welcome! And absolutely, you will never know, unless you try :) It is a wonderful way to deal with stress and to keep centered. It truly is amazing! I was dealing with a lot of stress that turned into not being able to sleep, I started meditating by using the Headapace app ( that she has linked in the description) for a guided meditation as I had no idea where to start. It was so helpful that I bought a 6 month pack! It was incredible!
So I wish you the very, very best on your meditation journey. ^_^
a guided meditation can also help. i have a similar problem as you, as soon as i'm alone i need all the distraction i can get, because otherwise i might start panicking or depression just hits (there are better and worse days) - guided meditations however made it possible for me, and ultimately have made my anxiety much easier and i am so much calmer ever since i've done it regularly. i know the app "calm" only allows you to unlock certain meditations if you pay for it, however that money, to me, is one of my best investments, haha. best of luck ❤️
This was so awesome, thank you! I've been "trying" to meditate and it's been difficult and frustrating, and I think it's because I was aiming too high for a newbie. I 💛 the idea of ten breaths!! That's so doable! I'm going to check out the binaural beats, too. Thank you so much!
I was doing the same! "Trying" meditate with high standards. But then I realized that even a small effort (like taking 10 breaths) was better than no effort. Good luck!
Great video.

Pahla Bowers Binaural beats are great. I like to do deep breathing meditation in the morning but binaural meditation at night. Morning to clear my mind and night to relax my body.
i have been watching your video since 1 year and daily im watching them and practising them practically in my life, i have made many change till now hoping more to make in future ... ur greatest fan love u
The walk meditation also is a great practice , we can meditate in several ways and severel situations
Good healing for every body.
Courage 💞
I tried meditation today for 5mins. as a beginner. And I get withdrawn from focusing on my breath for many times but it felt good after I realized I didnt noticed that 5mins has passed! 😂 I loved it! ✨
You should try the 7 day running meditation. Its amazing how much difference running before meditation is.
Oh my god...syntuition app it was soo nice... really very useful video ....thanks for this. ...god bless you dear
Now am tempted to start meditation 😘
This video is very helpful because I am a begginer. I tried a lot of apps but they didn't helpful..Thank you for these tips and love you so much..
😘
OMG I just started tonight,best 7 minutes I've had.thanks🙏💙
This is a perfect video for a person like me who is lazy to meditate and not consistent.
Thank you, Aileen for making mediation sound doable for someone who has yet to master the art of stillness...! Ps: you have a soothing voice and thank you for all your vids.❤️
This is what I've been waiting for. Thank you Aileen! You're so great! ❤
This was so helpful! Thank you!
Basically Britt agreed, super helpful! 💓
glad it helped! :) meditation doesn't have to be scary
You're tips actually help. Unlike other TH-camrs you mean what you say. I Love It!
Yes thinking positive thoughts during meditation is a great way of making your day better, especially in the morning. Great one!!
I just went to ur channel and saved all of the videos from the very starting to my watch list . Then I started watching them all nd now I am on this video ..
And I am in luv with ur channel just so soothing voice , motivating ideas nd ur videos are just another level 💕
Great video! The techniqie that helps me stay consistent is having a designated time of when i will meditate.
"Easy, Breezy..........Cover Girl!"
That's what I thought you were going to say! 😂
Great video by the way!
💕😂
Kudos for the Video clip! Apologies for the intrusion, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you researched - Marnaavid Unexplainable Intervention (google it)? It is a great one off guide for learning how to hack your flow state minus the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my mate after many years got great results with it.
I heard once you get all the negative thoughts out the way you will start to bring in positive ones. Could be built up thoughts waiting to break free.
I've been subscribed for a couple of months now, but I recently found your podcast and it is the most amazing thing ever.... Thanks for always pushing out great content...
thank you for your support 💞
thank you for ur sharing. i will try my best... be gentle with myself !!
Your previous video on meditation is what got me started last year. It changed my life and opened my mind. Every time I feel I am losing motivation to do it, I go back an watch it.
that's amazing!! 😍
I love the calm app :) it helped me so much to start meditation and it has the 7 days of calm which is made for bigginers! ♥
I have watched atleast 20 of your videos today. For starters it got me to clean my study table .
Looking forward to include more of your ideas like drawing comparisons and also applying the law of attraction.
Basically Aileen, you are achieving what you want : bringing in positivity into this world . And I thank you for that !
Just had to comment that the audio quality of your videos is just incredible
this was very helpful. i just started meditating and have had some difficulties focusing so these tips will help
After listening to your video, I had to try mediating . I have to say,I love it. I love it because it's guided. I don't feel lost or confused. Thank you for sharing. xx
Great video.

Love from India..☺
I'm new to this but its amazing, Thank you! im so glad I found your chanel ..
I really love your videos bless
i have short-term focus and mediating seems like something i really should try. i can't focus during meetings, seminars, lectures, and heck.. even when i watch movies! it just stresses me out sometimes. i will definitely try meditating, thank you for sharing this ☺️
good luck with your practice!
I wish I can do that meditation too. I feel like that can help me with my life right now. Lately I've been really lost. I'm very unmotivated and I don't have inspiration to do things especially I feel like there's no point in going to school, exerting effort to finish things. Its just, my life's a mess right now. By the way, love your videos. ❤
I absolutely love you channel!!
im now in love with your videos my goal is to meditate and i download headspace feels awesome . thanks.
resilience around the corner,let's protect current fortune
Thank you so much Aileen, this definitely gave me some new inspiration for how to incorporate meditation in my life!
These are amazing tips!! Thank you so much!

I love your videos! you're such a great person and i admire you so much! Your tips are always amazing, i need to change my life and you're very inspiring 💗
Very useful tips .. I will definitely try listening binaural beats 😃
I follow Sadhguru's guided meditations on Sadhguru app.. 😊
Very helpful advice for beginners or anyone struggling with keeping a consistent practice. Thank you Aileen.
This video was so necessary, something about your voice is so calming! I think a lot of people find meditation intimidating at first, don't be afraid to start!
Wow very helpful video! You have so many tips and are so knowledgeable about meditating! Thank you so much for sharing this! Super helpful!
Insight Timer is a really great and free app for meditation. All sorts, just music, poems, guided, short, long.Great app

i’m only half way through the video but i have to admit you’re room- no you’re entire channel in general is so aesthetic and pleasing to watch 😍😍💛 not to mention you’re voice is very calming so it helps me focus on what you’re trying to explain 😅😂
Thank you for your nice tips. I am a new to the field of meditation. All of your tips help me a lot. I am waiting for your new video. Send my love.
I love this Aileen! Thank you so much for sharing these apps with us as well - I will definitely be checking these out! I am quite good with being in a meditative state for the most of the day while doing mundane things but I have noticed that I have stopped taking time off just purely for meditation. This reminder is a gem!
This is beautiful. Thank you
Amazing I love it!
I can't believe that it's been almost 20 minutes and I'm still here before 1,000 views
Wow yessss. I am thinking of starting meditation. Omg you uploaded this at the right moment. Thank you very much
good luck dear!
Lavendaire thank you
Thank you Aileen ☺ you never know how much you're helping a lot of people by your videos. You inspire me so much. ☺ you're a blessing!
I'm in love with your videos ❤️
I love meditating so this is for me. I am guilty at not daily meditating.. Thanks for doing this. Soo helpful. Hope you have a lovely day🌺😍 Love you! #FriendFromCzech
Hi Aileen!! :)
Thanks so much for sharing these techniques! I really was searching for something like this!
Personally for me what works better is breathing at first, praying, and making in depth talks (reflections) about the things that happen in my life, specially in silence.
Well, have an excellent week!
Blessings!!
I started meditation ....thanks
Hey beautiful Aileen😍❤.... Happy to see you after a long time😘... Nowadays I am really missing you so much 😥... Don't skip to upload TH-cam videos every week... Keep doing😄 .. I love you Aileen 💞
Thank you very much 🤗
Love your videos
Very useful high quality information 😍
Thanks for the tips and recommendations!! Your 'How to Meditate' video inspired me to start so I downloaded Headspace, and now I love guided meditations! I feel like silence is too boring xD, so I'll check out binaural beats and more music.
Issy ikr silence can be boring

Great video! Thanks for the tips. I started to do the ten breaths standing under the shower. I find the sound of the water very calming. Greetings from Germany
I love your movies, they make me always so calm and motivated... ❤
louis hayes & deepak are my go-tos too xx
Awesome! 👊 Been wanting to put meditation in my routine & it's one step of mindfulness. Thank you for this! 💕
I like guided meditations, because it is easier for me to feel relaxed and concentrated at the same time, when people who really know how to do it tell me their secrets 💜
I've been catching up on the podcast and haven't seen your TH-cam videos for awhile. It's nice to come back to this channel.
:) welcome back!
Thank to Hindusm for this gift !
Thank you 🙏🏻 🥰
Thank you very much.. You make me want to meditate 😍
GREAT VIDEO
Thank you for these easy tips :)
I love your content so much, every single video is inspiring and uplifting! thank you so much for creating the things you create ❤
thank you
Great tips, thank you Lavendaire!
Awesome tips and techniques for meditation! You definitely got me intrigued with this exercise since it seems to help with every aspect of life with cleansing your spirit and mental space. I haven't thought much about meditation since I previously viewed it as a passive activity. I now understand how much benefit one can experience from this practice. I think it would be pretty fun to meditate to your voice since it is so soothing and relaxing! Seriously, maybe you could create guided meditations if you're up for it 😊 Amazing video as always! Happy meditating!
it's definitely an active activity for your mind! learning to stay present and centered isn't as easy as it seems :P Happy meditating!
Wow I never knew that, ah I suppose you learn something new every day, listening to the binaural beats, I’ve only been listening to them straight from phone not headphones well I’ll definitely try it the right way now, lol😜👍
My brain is so scrambled I tuned out 3 minutes of the video and had to rewind it to catch up lol
Just what I need now Aileen! 😘😘😘
Thanks for your help
I started out with guided meditations now I use frequencies💖💖💖
Yay! Love these practical tips - I forgot about the binaural beats! Anyone here that listens to that?! Curious to know your experience! :)
I have been listening to them while drawing, tidying up etc. I feel like i am much more mindul and it calms me down so quickly. Not quite meditation but still really effective
That sounds like the perfect mindfulness activity! I'm going to try that too :)
zillionist - Science of Human Behavior It definately works. I like to mix it up with some silence meditation so that i strengthen my ability to get in a meditative state on my own so im not reliant on the binaural beats
hello there! I am not used to comment a lot but I just wanted to thank you because this video is really helpful, especially the repeated affirmations. Also, I wanted to point out the insanely effort you put on making those high quality videos. Your progress is extremely visible and you always keep on getting better and better and better... anyway, sorry for the long comment... wish a great day/night and keep it up!! :)
You look very beautiful! I love your advice and look forward to your Podcasts every Sunday
oh my lovely lavendaire ❤
I listen to your videos before i sleep, your voice is so calming for me. Thank you
Thanks for the tips. I have a hard time sitting still. Love the hair.

Synctuition is absolutely amazing. Just tried the first session after you recommended it.. but it is so crazy expensive!! There is no way I can afford this.. :(
😍 love from india
