10 Day Meditation Challenge
This 10 day meditation challenge will have you feeling calm, grounded and vibrant. The idea of the Ten Day Meditation Challenge is to get you started in the habit of meditating everyday. Jeff challenges you to follow along for ten days and meditate for 5-10 minutes a day. That’s it. Do-able for anyone…even the busiest people. There is a short video overview and introduction to meditation followed by ten audio guided meditations. The 10 Day Meditation Challenge is a simple guided meditation for those who have never tried it and are unsure where to start. There are ten different meditations. Each one consists of 2-3 minutes of simple instructions followed by five minutes of relaxing music and 'quiet' time. It’s short and simple – meant to get you started. Challenge yourself to follow the guided audio meditations for ten days and tell us how you feel in the comments below. *There are additional meditations after day 10, if you want to continue! :) Relax, close your eyes and allow yourself to let go of any thoughts or worries.
