This guided meditation to the beautiful song Anthem by Gabriel Yared has been the first song for meditation in my classes since I started teaching yoga and mindfulness. My students have learned to relax to the very first notes. There's something so uplifting, hopeful and comforting about this song, and I'm grateful to be able to share a recording of meditation for my students and others.

Transcript

Find a comfortable position for this meditation.

Allow yourself to sink deeply down against support.

Notice sensations of touch or pressure in the points of contact.

Allow those to deepen as you come to relaxation.

Then,

Bring your awareness to your breath.

Note what moves as you breathe in and what moves as you breathe out.

Be aware of thoughts rushing in to fill this space.

Without judgement or engagement,

Allow them to drift by,

Noticing that you are not your thoughts.

You are a being who is thinking thoughts.

For now,

Let go of everything that happened before this moment.

Let go of what will happen after.

And rest.

Let go of what you are thinking.

Let go of what will happen after.

Let go of what you are thinking.

Let go of what you are thinking.

If you find that your mind has run off with a story or worry about the past or the future,

Gently bring it back to this moment.

Maybe by noticing the feel of the air in the room on your skin,

The sound of my voice,

The music or sounds around you,

What it feels like to be a being who can hear sounds.

Or with self-compassion,

Curiosity and love,

Notice any emotion sitting in your body.

Or you can bring your attention back to the track of your breath,

Always available as an anchor to this moment.

Right here,

Right now,

You are not responsible for fixing anything.

There is nothing to do,

No place to be.

Take this moment of self-care and allow your body and mind a restoring,

Relaxing rest.
