The Starting Point Meditation

The Starting Point Meditation

In the last post, we talked about the starting point. The place your body chooses before your thoughts begin. The position you carry into your day before anything happens.

Reading about it builds awareness. Practicing it builds change.

Every day, your body sets a tone. That tone shapes your focus, your energy, and how steady the day feels. When you meet that moment with attention, your body gains space to choose ease, clarity, and balance.

This meditation brings you into direct contact with that starting place.

It supports:

• calm before pressure

• clarity before reaction

• choice before habit

Use it in the morning to begin from steadiness.
Use it before work to bring focus.
Use it after a stressful moment to reset your position.
Use it in the evening to return to balance.

This practice stays simple because your body already knows how to shift. Your role is awareness and permission.

The Starting Point Meditation

(2–5 minutes)

Set a timer for 2–5 minutes. Sit or lie down where your body feels supported.

Allow your eyes to close or soften.

1. Let stillness settle.
   Allow your attention to arrive fully in your body.

2. Notice how your body feels right now.
   Ask gently:

• Do I feel open or held?

• Light or grounded?

• Ready or calm?

Observe with curiosity.

1. Bring awareness to your breathing.
   Notice where the breath moves most clearly.
   Let the rhythm be natural.

2. Say quietly inside:
   “This moment supports safety and ease.”

Allow your body to receive those words.

1. Then say:
   “I have space before any decision.”

Let that space exist.

1. Notice any shift your body offers:
   softening, warmth, steadiness, or quiet.

2. Say:
   “This moment supports openness and choice.”

Rest with that for a few breaths.

When the timer ends, open your eyes slowly.

This meditation offers your body a chance to reset before the day shapes it. It brings awareness to the place where your reactions begin. It supports a calmer, clearer starting point.

Over time, this practice builds a new relationship with stress. Instead of responding automatically, your body learns to pause, soften, and choose.
