Welcome to this silent meditation practice,
Which is intended to create the conditions for beneficial meditation,
And to hold this space for you to meditate in this dedicated time slot during your day.
To bring you out of the practice,
I will come in again at the end and help ease you back into your day.
So close down the eyes and take a moment to begin noticing your breath and where you feel it the most in your body.
It may be you feel this breath in your nostrils,
Your chest or somewhere else,
And notice any other sensations that may be drawing you in and simply watch them,
Allowing them to be exactly as they are.
Now drift your attention to your third eye centre in the centre of your forehead,
The control centre of your intuition,
And allow yourself to be immersed here in the night sky behind your eyes,
Noticing the colours and light or lack of light and darkness behind your eyes here.
When you feel your mind wandering throughout the unguided portion of this practice,
Simply imagine your thoughts are clouds passing by in the night sky behind your eyes and simply drift your attention back to your third eye centre,
Or your breath,
Or simply watching the sensations in your body without judgement.
Whichever feels most intuitive for you,
Now I'll leave you here to bask in your restfulness.
Your meditation practice is coming to a close,
So sense into your heart centre and whichever way you feel invited to,
Send deep gratitude to your heart space,
And feel into the gratitude and thankfulness you have for yourself for taking the time to practice this silent meditation today.
As you send this gratitude or thankfulness to your heart centre,
Allow whatever comes up,
Emotionally or even your thoughts,
Without refining or judging.
Simply feel into your heart space here,
And allow your subconscious mind the freedom to integrate this in whichever way is needed.
And now,
Whenever you're ready,
Begin to focus in on the sounds around you,
Or my voice,
And become aware of your surroundings.
Take a deep breath through your nose,
And see if you can pick up any remnants of scent in the air,
And gently begin to move in whichever way feels wakeful to you,
Slowly and lightly,
With ease.
If you feel the urge to move quicker,
Consciously slow down even more.
Your silent meditation practice is now complete,
So whenever you're ready,
Open your eyes and allow yourself to adjust to being awake and present.
