Welcome to the meditation, You are not anybody's story. Before we begin, Just take a moment to notice that everything in your life, Thoughts, Feelings, Sensations, Experiences, Conversations and memories, All are what is called localized appearances within something much deeper. That deeper reality is your own inseparable awareness. Also known as one's natural, Impersonal mind. Awareness is not a thing you have to search for. It is unborn, Infinite and eternally present. It is the ever-present space in which all experiences, Including yourself, Your life, Arise and fade. It is like the sky. The sky is always there, No matter what clouds. All eventually fade and the sky remains unmoved, Untouched, Undisturbed. Thoughts, Feelings, Judgments, Even the sense of who you are, Are all appearances within this field of awareness and all eventually fade back into its vastness. Awareness itself remains untouched, Clear, Spacious, Unborn and whole. This meditation points you to the understanding that to have full access to one's boundless, Inseparable awareness, One's boundless potential, One needs to rest quietly for short meditative moments, Repeated many times each day, Until this recognition of your own infinite awareness becomes automatic. And at any time when you are wishing to fully rest in this field of self-awareness, Self-awareness wisdom, Presence, Simply breathe and spend time with your natural, Higher self, Free of the limitations of what others may think, What their actions may be, Or what they may say. Now, To begin this meditation, You are not anybody's story. Sit comfortably, Allow your spine and neck to remain upright. Rest your hands gently in your lap and relax the shoulders. Now take a long, Slow, Deep breath in through your nose, Mouth closed, And at the top of the breath, Pause for a moment, Then exhale slowly through the nose. At the bottom of the breath, Pause again before the next breath. Then, At the top of that breath, Pause for a moment before exhaling. Let your breathing find its own natural rhythm as you sit fully relaxed. Now bring your attention inward, Into the heart center, Into that quiet inner space in which everything you experience is felt. Notice, All that is said about you, All that others may claim, May think, Or comment, All are simply localized appearances within the infinite field of awareness. They are not your true being. They are not your truth. These come and go, Like waves upon the surface of the ocean, Like clouds passing in the sky. None can leave a lasting impression. None can touch the vast beauty and pristine stillness. Perhaps you have heard harsh words, Threats, Or someone has told you a story about yourself, A story of who you are, What you will be, Or how you have failed in their eyes. Recognize this clearly. These are obviously not what or who you are. They are simply passing comments, Groups of words appearing in their mind, No different from passing clouds in the vast sky. The sky is never stained by the shape of the clouds, Regardless, Remaining always vast and clear. In the same way, Your true awareness, Your natural mind, Remains clear, Whole, Infinite, Untouched, Regardless of what people may say. It's at times like these that it's important to remember, If you are challenged by what someone is saying, Find a quiet place, Just for a moment, Take a long deep breath, Hold it for a moment, Then exhale. Keep the focus on your heart center, Keep the focus on your own natural awareness, And rest here for a moment, Rest in the stillness of your pure awareness. Even if this moment only lasts a few seconds, This is invaluable for your own calmness and clarity. Now do this practice many times each day, Every day, And the more you come to recognize this self-awareness, The less any words, Anger, Or opinions of others, Or even the thoughts in your own mind, Regardless, None will ever be able to touch the perfect nature of your calmness, Your peacefulness, Your beauty of your own inner awareness. Words themselves carry no real power or authority, They only become heavy or meaningful if you grant them power, If you keep focusing on them. When words are believed, They form sentences, Then sentences can become a story, And a story can last a lifetime. But even the strongest, Most hurtful story is only a movement, A movement of thoughts and words. Stories arise, Linger for a bit, Then dissolve. Words cannot injure, Change, Or alter in any way the spacious beauty presence of your own natural self-awareness. Rest for a short moment now. Rest in the recognition of your true nature, Your inseparable awareness. Here you can see so clearly you are not the story someone has written about you. You are not their judgments, Their projections, Their pain. You are the freedom of your untouchable awareness in which all these appearances simply arise and fade. Notice again for a moment. Awareness is infinite, Vast, Clear, And always complete and whole. Whatever is said about you has already begun to fade, Returning back to the stillness of pure awareness. And what remains is unbroken, Is an unshakable presence of your own truth, The you, The real you, Of inseparable intelligence, Beauty, Power, The you of self-awareness. Conclusion As this meditation closes, Carry this deeper knowing within you. Everything said, Every opinion, Every story told about you is only a temporary appearance in awareness. These arise, Then they fade. But awareness, Your true essence, Remains like an old friend, Untouched, Boundless, Stainless, Pure, And ever-present. Pause throughout your day for short moments to rest with this recognition. Each time you do, You reclaim your freedom from the stories and thoughts of others. You are not anybody's story. You are your own story. You are the story of the spacious awareness in which all stories come and go. You are the infinite source of love, Compassion, Kindness, Forgiveness, Clarity, And strength. Some questions for you now in relation to you are not anyone's story. When someone tells a story about you, Whether kind or unkind, What part of you actually receives it? Is it the mind of doubt and fear and unhappiness? Or is it the clarity and the freedom and the spaciousness of your own infinite awareness? What happens to words and opinions if you do not give them power, If you do not focus on them? Can you rest for a moment and see that the story itself is dissolving back into silence? Whatever story it is, As soon as it is spoken, It immediately fades back into awareness. Who are you is beyond every story ever told about you.
