Post here if you have been practising for a while, and you are starting to get your head around what this is all about. Also post here if you are a long-term practitioner with something to say about the practice.

Hi all,

I hope you are well in these scary times?
Just wondering if someone could recommend a good practice for early morning, preferably whilst still lying in bed. I have picked up that I have gotten into quite unhealthy habits since the lockdown, so I am thinking I could benefit from mixing up my practice.
Thank you and stay safe,
Jamie

Hi Jamie!

If you like the sound of birdsong just lying for a few minutes before getting up & listening to birdsong can really perk you up.

You too. Take care!

I hate the sounds of birds tweeting on a morning. I do stomach clenches to help burn calories whilst laying in bed on a morning.

It must be a case of the birds round my way are not as good at singing.

It depends on the types of birds that are nearby. Blackbirds, robins, sparrows, pigeons & doves sound lovely. Magpies & crows don't sound too good.

Maybe it's the listening that's the problem?

High probability! At 5am when needing sleep it's not ideal and with sensitive hearing.
