A Meditation From Laziness And The Lawyer

Letting go of the words,

And just taking a breath,

Or two,

Or three,

Coming to this present moment,

Relaxing the body in the chair,

Or on the cushion,

Or standing,

Or lying down,

Whatever your posture is right now,

Walking,

Noticing your connection to the earth,

To the other humans in your world,

To all of the other humans,

All of the beings,

Tapping into that,

And then connecting to yourself,

And just doing a kind of a self-audit,

How am I this morning,

Or this afternoon,

How is my own beautiful heart,

How is this mind that works so hard,

And the heart works hard too,

And just the invitation that these next few moments be moments where we aren't lazy about taking care of our own hearts and minds,

Where we really let go of everything else and just care for ourselves for a few minutes,

Noticing if the mind wants to wander over to the to-do list,

Or to the would've,

Should've,

Could've category,

And just gently bring it back,

Or if the heart wants to wander in those directions,

Gently bring it back to the present moment,

This moment of caring and loving,

Caring for and loving yourself.

Maybe for the last just half a minute of our sit together,

Taking the hand and placing it on the heart and expressing the wish,

May I be well,

May I be safe,

May I be happy,

May I be free,

And then fluttering the eyes open,

If they were closed,

Or looking up,

If you were looking inwards,

And yeah,

Taking this with you.
