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.
