5-Minute Meditation For Acceptance

Welcome.

This is a short,

Gentle practice to help you soften into acceptance,

Just as you are,

Just as life is.

Let this be a moment of stillness,

A moment where nothing needs to be fixed,

Changed,

Or resisted.

Simply notice that you're here,

And that is enough.

Begin to bring attention to your breath.

Notice it arriving and leaving.

There is no need to deepen it or control it.

Just allow your breath to be natural,

A quiet rhythm that you can always return to.

Simply notice what's present inside you right now.

It might be thoughts,

Feelings,

Or maybe a sense of nothing in particular.

Whatever is here,

Allow it to be here.

If you feel any resistance,

That's okay.

Let even the resistance be accepted.

You can softly say to yourself,

I am willing to be with this.

This too belongs.

Notice when you stop pushing against what's here and start offering it a little kindness instead.

But you're simply letting it exist without judgment.

There is no right,

And there is no wrong.

The joy and the pain,

All of it is welcome.

Rest in the space that you've created,

A space of non-resistance,

Of presence.

You might repeat quietly in your mind,

Accept myself within it.

Allow this quiet truth to stay with you as you move through the rest of your day.
