Welcome.
My name is Elliot and I'll be your guide for this meditation.
This recording is part of the Micro Reminder Series.
Settle into a comfortable posture that allows you to have a straight spine.
Gently invite the eyelids to close,
The mind to settle,
And the body to relax.
Take three deep cleansing breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth.
I'll guide you.
In and out In and out In and out In and out And now going back to breathing normally through your nose and relax.
Happiness is not the absence of problems,
It's the ability to deal with them.
This quote is by Steve Marabali.
If you're here with us now breathing,
You are indeed a miracle and truly blessed.
Regardless of whatever life will throw at us,
Ultimately our experience of now is happening from within us and we can choose how we go through the mud.
We can choose how we go through the problems.
If we remind ourselves to take each moment as an opportunity to be grounded and allow the natural expression of joy for being alive to blossom,
We can go through this life with a greater sense of ease,
Grace,
And happiness one moment at a time.
So what is your experience of being alive right now?
What is your experience of being alive right now?
Acknowledging it as it is,
Even if it's unwanted,
Even if it's hard to accept.
Stay present and breathe.
Feel yourself creating a space between you and your mind,
Between you and your body,
Between you and your emotions.
Surrender and invite life to move freely through you,
Expanding your awareness into a more spacious experience.
Your mind,
Just a white,
Puffy cloud in your mind's sky,
Floating away into the distance.
Your emotions,
Just a white,
Puffy cloud in your emotional landscape sky,
Floating away into the distance.
Your body,
Just a white,
Puffy cloud floating away into the distance.
Happiness is not the ultimate goal in life.
What we truly seek is purpose and fulfillment.
We become connected with our purpose when we take responsibility for our fulfillment in life,
Instead of seeking it outside of ourselves or expecting someone or something else to do it for us.
If you are seeking happiness outside of yourself,
You will never know the true essence of joy.
Only when we can find the spirit of creation throbbing within us,
We will find fulfillment the highest order.
Compass is a natural result of being in harmony with our mental,
Emotional,
And physical energies.
Now,
Just follow my count for the next few moments.
Opening your awareness.
Piece of optic media.
Observing.
Just being as you are.
Full acceptance.
Here and now.
Forgiveness.
Allowing.
Letting go.
Continue to breathe in deeply.
Feeling the joy of aliveness in this moment.
And breathe out deeply.
Feeling the tension flushing out of the body and mind.
Namaste.
