Open Awareness

Start by taking three deep breaths,

Inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth.

Bring your awareness to your body and to the ground underneath you.

And notice how you feel right now.

Maybe there is a particular feeling or mood that's present right now.

Bring your awareness to your thoughts and notice each thought as it comes and goes.

Whenever you get caught up in a thought,

Which is very normal,

Gently bring your awareness back to watching the thoughts and letting them pass by.

Resting the mind in open awareness.

Be open to whatever feeling,

Sensation or thought that may arise and let your mind rest in a natural state of awareness.

Face value beauty.

If you find yourself getting caught up in a thought,

Gently bring your mind back to resting in open awareness.

You're simply resting in a natural state of open awareness.

Being aware of whatever thought or feeling that may arise.

You're simply resting in a natural state of open awareness.

You're simply resting in a natural state of open awareness.

You're simply resting in a natural state of open awareness.

You're simply resting in a natural state of open awareness.

Being open to whatever feeling,

Sensation or thought that may arise.

Letting your mind rest naturally in a state of awareness.

For the last,

Let's take a moment to take a deep breath.

For the last minute or so,

Set your mind free and let your mind do whatever it wants to do.

If your mind wants to wander,

Let it wander.

Letting your mind rest naturally in a state of awareness.

We'll soon be ending this meditation.

Give your body a little stretch,

Wiggle your fingers.

See if you can maintain this sense of awareness throughout the day or the rest of the evening.

Even if it's just for a brief moment that you're conscious about your breath or about your thoughts or feelings.

That can make a huge impact on your day.

Thank you for meditating with me and I hope to see you back here soon.
