It feels like there’s always something wanting our attention, doesn’t it? Finding moments of real peace and a clear head can be tricky. Those quick 2-minute breathing exercises we talked about are brilliant for a fast reset. Sometimes, though, our minds and bodies need a bit longer to properly unwind and recharge. That’s where a 10-minute guided meditation can be really helpful, offering a deeper sense of quiet.
Here at Lofi Fido, we’re happy to share our new 10-minute guided meditation video. We’ve made it to help you find deep relaxation and clearer thoughts, all with the gentle presence of our own Golden Retriever.
Why Spend 10 Minutes? The Good Things About a Longer Practice
Taking a bit longer than a very short pause, say around 10 minutes for meditation, gives your mind and body more time to settle. This can help you reach a deeper state of calm.
More help for your nervous system: Ten minutes gives your body’s calming system (what some people call the “rest and digest” system) a better chance to get going. This can mean more relief from stress and anxious feelings.
Clearer thinking and better focus: With a bit more time away from all the mental noise, you can often find a greater sense of mental clarity. This longer focus helps train your attention. That might be useful if you’re trying to improve concentration.
Finding some inner peace: A 10-minute practice lets you notice sensations and thoughts with a bit more space around them. This can lead to a stronger feeling of inner peace and emotional balance.
Can lift your mood: Doing slightly longer meditations regularly can build up to have a good effect on your general mood and how you feel day-to-day.
Great for deeper relaxation: If you want to unwind after a busy day, or get ready for a good night’s sleep, a 10-minute relaxation technique can work very well.
The Lofi Fido Way: Your 10-Minute Path to Calm with a Golden Retriever
Our new 10-minute guided meditation on the Lofi Fido YouTube channel is designed to be a soothing space for your mind.
This session includes:
Gentle onscreen guidance: Simple, easy-to-follow prompts to lead you.
Calming sights: Peaceful scenes of our lovely Golden Retriever enjoying nature. We find this adds a bit of warmth and comfort, especially if you’re a dog lover.
Soothing background sounds: Lofi sounds to help you relax and feel immersed.
We’ve tried to make this for everyone. It doesn’t matter if you’ve meditated a lot before or if this is your first time trying a beginner meditation. It can also be a nice, structured way for neurodivergent people to find some calm and focus.
Making Your 10-Minute Meditation Work Well
Find a quiet spot: Choose a place where you’re not likely to be interrupted.
Get comfortable: Sit or lie down in a way that lets your body fully relax.
Fewer distractions: It helps to turn off notifications on your phone or computer.
Just be open to it: Try to go into the practice without expecting anything in particular.
Regular practice helps: If you can do it regularly, you’ll likely notice more benefits.
Fitting 10 Minutes of Meditation into Your Day
A 10-minute meditation can actually fit into your day quite easily:
Morning start: Begin your day feeling a bit more centred and focused.
Mid-day break: Help shake off afternoon tiredness or stress.
Evening wind-down: Get your mind ready for a restful sleep.
Giving yourself just ten minutes for a guided meditation is a really positive way to look after yourself. It’s a chance to connect with yourself, calm your mind, and feel clearer.
