Clearing Mental Fog Find a comfortable position.
You can be seated or lying down.
Let your eyes gently close or soften your gaze.
For the next few minutes,
We will clear away the mental fog.
Begin by bringing your awareness to your breath.
Don't try and change it.
Just notice the natural rhythm.
The rise and fall of your chest.
Now bring attention to your mind.
Notice the quality of your thoughts.
They might feel scattered,
Fuzzy,
Or clouded.
As if a thick,
Gentle fog has settled over your awareness.
Now imagine your mind is like a peaceful,
Misty windowpane.
On the other side is clarity,
Stillness,
And bright awareness.
But right now,
The glass is clouded with this soft condensation.
The fog of thoughts,
Tiredness,
Or distraction.
With your next gentle inhale,
Imagine you are gathering a soft,
Warm cloth.
It's infused with your intention.
As you slowly exhale,
Picture this warm cloth making a single,
Clear swipe across the misty window of your mind.
Inhale,
Gather your intention.
Exhale,
One clear swipe.
See how the fog pulls back just a little each time?
A patch of clear glass has appeared.
Through it,
You sense a quiet,
Calm space.
Continue the gentle action of clearing.
Inhale your intention.
Exhale and swipe the fog away.
Inhale warmth.
Exhale clarity.
Another slow,
Soothing swipe across the glass.
Watch the mist bead up and roll away.
The clear space has grown.
With each breath,
The fog dissipates.
The window becomes clear.
The haze lifts,
Revealing the inherent brightness and stillness of your own mind.
Notice the space behind the cleared glass.
It's not full of new thoughts,
But is open,
Calm,
And luminous.
Rest in this feeling of a mind becoming clear,
Sharp,
And present.
Like a window ready to take in the world with fresh perspective.
Let go of the image now.
Just feel the effect.
A lightness in your head.
A sense of space between thoughts.
A gentle clarity.
Now bring your awareness back to the feeling of your body.
Notice the air on your skin.
And when you're ready,
At your own pace,
Allow your eyes to gently open.
Take this clarity with you into the next moments of your day.
