Mindfulness Meditation For Awareness And Inner Peace

This mindful meditation is for you to create awareness and inner peace.

Find a quiet and comfortable place to sit or lie down.

Gently close your eyes as you settle into your space.

Begin to focus on your breath.

Bring your attention to your breath.

Notice the natural rhythm of your breath as it flows in and out of your body.

Pay attention to the sensation of your breath as it meets your nostrils or the rise and fall of your chest and belly.

Take the next few moments to scan your body from head to toe.

Notice any areas of tension or discomfort without judgment.

Bring the breath into these areas,

Allowing them to soften and relax.

As you focus on your breath,

Thoughts may arise.

This is perfectly normal.

The next time you notice a thought arising,

Acknowledge it without judgment and then gently guide your way back to your breath.

Now expand your awareness to include your surroundings.

Notice any sounds,

Any smells,

Or sensations in the environment.

Allow them to come and go without attachment.

Bring your attention back to your body.

Notice any sensations such as warmth,

Coolness,

Tingling,

Or tension.

Observe these sensations with a sense of curiosity and non-judgment.

Turn your attention to your emotions.

What emotions are present in this moment?

Allow yourself to simply observe these emotions without trying to change them.

Allow the emotions to be like passing clouds in the sky of your awareness.

Expand your awareness even further to include your thoughts.

What thoughts are passing through your mind right now?

Observe your thoughts as if they are leaves floating down a gentle stream down a gentle stream coming and going.

Bring your attention back to your breath.

It is the anchor that keeps you rooted in the present moment.

Focus on the sensation of your breath for a few moments.

Now take a deep inhale and gently exhale.

When you're ready,

Gently open your eyes.

You can practice this meditation anytime you want to cultivate greater awareness,

Presence,

And inner peace.
