Welcome to this guided meditation.
Please sit down or lay down,
Finding a comfortable position where you're firmly grounded to the floor below you,
And let yourself focus on your breath.
Let your eyes gently close.
Take a deep breath in,
All the way,
And hold it.
Squeeze your stomach muscles in,
Squeeze your back muscles in.
Select your pelvic floor,
And hold,
And release.
Let yourself really relax as you take another deep breath in.
Feel it all the way up,
And hold it,
Squeeze,
And release.
Really relax,
And let your breath come back to a steady,
Natural rhythm.
If thoughts pop up,
Imagine them as leaves floating along a river,
And watch them float away.
Bring yourself back to the moment,
To your breath.
There's nothing to worry about,
There's no plans to make.
Everything you need is right here.
Allow yourself to feel safe,
To feel held by the moment.
Stay here,
Stay here in the moment.
The past and the future are only illusions created by your mind.
There's nothing to be concerned about right now.
You're here to relax.
You deserve to relax.
So often,
We become absorbed by our material world.
We let desires and urges take control of us.
Instead,
We can set our intention for peace.
We can set our internal desires for achieving equanimity.
When we do this,
And let go of our material wants,
We find that peace is waiting for us.
So do that now.
Allow yourself to forget your worries,
To forget your desires.
Know that nothing is needed.
Everything is provided.
You are taken care of.
You are life itself.
And just breathe.
There's nothing to strive for.
There's no goals to pursue.
There's only now.
And right now,
We are at peace.
Let yourself soak in the beautiful moment of now.
And let yourself feel true peace.
You deserve to feel peace.
There is nothing you need.
No plans to make,
No places to be.
Right here,
Right now,
Is enough.
Just sink in.
Just let it flow.
You are more than your mind.
You are unwavering consciousness,
Permeating all.
You are eternal.
Realize that all you seek,
You already have.
And that this journey of life we undertake is only linear from our own limited perspective.
Our actions are written into the eternal and static universe.
Everything we've done,
Everything we've been,
Will continue to be forever.
There's nothing to hold on to.
Let yourself go.
Let it all go.
By the grace of the eternal universe,
We humbly ask for the sight of God.
We ask to see ourself with inner spaciousness,
To see the universe as it truly is.
And we know that whatever will be,
Will be.
And so it is.
Know that you are loved.
Know that you are safe.
And carry this knowing with you always,
So that it may enliven you and embolden you,
Make you fearless and hopeful and loving.
You are the universe.
Namaste.
