Practising regularly to come back to this Reality will lead to deepening peace, understanding, and wisdom.

Meditation Inner Peace Silence Mindfulness Breath Awareness Wisdom Relaxation Seated Position Lying Down Body Kindness Witness Attitude Non Judgmental Observation Thought Dissipation All Pervading Silence

Transcript

Please settle down wherever you are,

Taking a comfortable seated position,

Either cross-legged on the floor if you can manage it,

Or comfortably on a chair.

Or if you're not well,

You might be lying down listening to this guided meditation.

And that's fine too,

Just bring kindness into your body.

And don't push your body if you're unwell and feeling weak.

And you can use awareness of the breathing to bring you more and more into quietude.

To inner peace.

And as you settle,

Notice what is happening for you right now.

Physically,

Emotionally,

Mentally,

But bringing an attitude of openness.

And try to develop more of a witness attitude.

Noticing,

Observing,

And not judging.

And be aware when you pick anything up and start running with it.

In that moment of just noticing,

It will dissipate.

There's no need to repress thoughts or worry if thoughts come.

Simply watch.

Be alert.

Be aware.

And the thought will stop running.

And so as I reduce the amount of talking and input,

It's an opportunity to notice that all-pervading silence.

In which my voice arises and ceases.

That all-pervasive silence that contains all the sounds,

All the comings and goings,

Sounds and thoughts,

Don't really disturb this silence.

The silence remains unmoved,

Untouched.

This is superb if you really commit to it and if only for the relatively short time it lasts. I found that the perspective it provides lasts well beyond the end of the meditation itself. Reflective and simultaneously calming and energising. Thank you.

The pauses in this meditation are welcome and WONDERFUL. The sound of a dove, footsteps in the house where I am staying today, my breathing….life’s soundtrack to thoughts that come and go as they will.🪷

Supportive guiding phrases and plenty of silence. This is an excellent meditation for those who are wanting to move towards sitting in silence but who need something 'in between' for now. Gratitude to Samaneri Jayasara for this gift 🙏
