Reading about meditation is useful, but the real understanding comes from trying it. This page gives you a 10-minute guided Rajyoga meditation you can follow on your own, read slowly to yourself, or record in your own voice and play back.
The script follows the basic flow of Rajyoga as taught by the Brahma Kumaris: settling, soul awareness, connection with the Supreme Soul and returning to activity. To learn the full method live, join the free 7-day Rajyoga course in English, starting Thursday, 12 November 2026, from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM IST.
Before you begin
- Sit comfortably on a chair or cushion with your back upright and supported.
- Keep your eyes gently open, resting your gaze on a point ahead, or close them if you prefer.
- Silence your phone and set a soft timer for ten minutes.
- Read each section slowly, pausing for the time shown.
Minutes 1 to 2: settle
I let my body become still. I notice my shoulders, my hands, my face, and allow them to relax. I let the breath find its own natural rhythm. For these few minutes, there is nowhere else I need to be.
Minutes 3 to 4: who am I?
I turn my attention inward. I am not this body; I am the one who is aware of it. I am a soul, a tiny point of light, at the centre of my forehead. My original nature is peace. I am a peaceful soul.
Minutes 5 to 7: connection
Now I turn my thoughts beyond this world, to the Supreme Soul, a point of light, the ocean of peace. I simply remember Him, as a child remembers a loving parent. I feel peace flowing towards me, the soul. I absorb it quietly. There is nothing to achieve, only to receive.
Minutes 8 to 9: fill and share
I, the soul, am filled with peace. I let this peace spread to my thoughts, my body and the space around me. I send good wishes to my family, to the people I will meet today and to anyone who is struggling.
Minute 10: return
I keep this awareness as I return to the room. I choose one quality to carry into the next hour, perhaps patience or kindness. Om Shanti. I am a peaceful soul.
If your mind wanders
Wandering is normal. When you notice it, simply return to the last line you remember. Each return strengthens your attention. For more on staying alert with open eyes, see our open-eye meditation guide, and for the meaning of the closing words, read Om Shanti meaning.
Making it a habit
Try the script at the same time each day for a week. Many people find mornings easiest; others prefer the evening. Our guide to building a daily Rajyoga habit can help you keep going.
