Armin van Buuren has shared a 10-minute guided meditation and mindfulness routine.

The recording, which is available to listen to and download from Insight Timer, features a self-produced soundscape and van Buuren’s meditation tips. “I wanted to share this with my fans, so I recorded this meditation for others to practice to so that they, as well, may find balance,” he said.

The A State of Trance (ASOT) boss explains that he got into meditating every day a few years ago. “Meditation, for me, is a moment for myself, and a way for me to deal with the cloud In my head.
