Hello and welcome.
Please just take a moment to arrive here.
And as you do so,
I want you to remember this very powerful truth.
There's nothing you need to fix,
Solve or do.
Just breathe.
And let yourself be held by the stillness underneath this moment.
You are already here.
And that is enough.
Let your breath soften.
Let your shoulders drop.
Let yourself rest in the simplicity of being.
You don't need to quiet your mind.
You don't need to push thoughts away.
Just notice.
Notice how the breath moves in your body.
Notice the sensation of your feet on the floor.
Or the support of the ground beneath you.
The earth is always beneath you.
Just like your well-being,
Constant,
Unchanging,
Reliable even when you forget.
This moment isn't about achieving a state.
It's a gentle remembering.
A reconnection to what is already true.
You are not your thoughts.
You are not your feelings.
You are not your behaviours.
You are the awareness that notices them all.
And that awareness is never broken.
Never damaged.
Never lost.
Just breathe into that.
Let your attention drop out of the head and back into the body.
Feel your presence here.
Alive.
Still.
Grounded.
You might feel peaceful already or you might still feel stirred up inside.
Either way,
That's okay.
This practice is not about creating peace.
It's about returning to the peace that never left.
Every time you pause.
Every time you notice the breath or the weight of your body on the chair.
You are waking up to truth.
You are remembering what's real.
This space you're in right now.
This quietness beneath the noise.
This is your natural state.
It may get covered.
It may be forgotten.
But it never disappears.
Let yourself rest in that knowing.
Even as you move into your day.
Even as life gets busy.
Even when you find yourself caught up in thought again.
This space is still available.
Always.
Peace is not something you visit.
It is something you live from.
Even when you forget.
You can pause anytime.
In the car.
In a conversation.
In a moment of stress.
And remember.
You can feel your feet on the floor.
Notice the support of the chair beneath you.
Feel the weight of your hands resting in your lap.
Take one conscious breath.
Soften your shoulders.
And in that moment.
You've returned.
You are not lost.
You were simply dreaming.
And now you're awake again.
You can pause in the queue at the shop.
In the middle of an email.
During a walk.
Or even while brushing your teeth.
Any moment can be a doorway back to presence.
Because you are not your schedule.
Not your roles.
Not your emotions.
Not your to-do list.
You are the space those things move through.
You are the quiet behind the thoughts.
The awareness beneath the feelings.
The calm before the next word is spoken.
You don't need silence to feel this.
You don't need a meditation cushion.
You don't need perfect conditions.
You just need a pause.
A remembering.
And it will meet you there every time.
Let yourself return again and again.
Not to escape life.
But to meet it from who you truly are.
Take a few more moments now to sit in this remembering.
Let your body soften even more.
Let your breath move freely.
Let the idea of effort dissolve.
There is nothing to reach for.
You are already home.
This is not a meditation to achieve.
It's a gentle reminder.
A gentle return.
And you can return any time.
Anywhere.
You only ever need a pause.
A breath.
A moment of noticing.
Let's close with that truth gently settling in your awareness.
You don't need to hold on to peace.
Peace is holding you.
You are the awareness that watches.
The presence that remains.
The well-being that always was.
And if you forget as we all do sometimes,
You can return to this meditation any time.
Let it remind you of what's always true.
Let it bring you home.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for remembering.
Now take a few moments to allow yourself to come back into the space where you are.
Maybe wiggle your fingers and your toes.
And whenever you're ready,
Gently open your eyes and go on with your day.
Carrying the peace within you all the time.
