Hi friends, It's Beth. Welcome to this meditation experience using the imagination and guiding questions to explore the ideas of what a perfect meditation practice means to you. So settle in, Make space, Find comfort, Find ease, Allow the breath to move of its own rhythm and let yourself indulge in the thoughts that arise from the questions and luxuriate in the experience of your own custom meditation practice. Who are you as a meditation student without your habits? Who are you as a meditation student without your constructs and your stories? How often do you visit these parts of yourself, The ones without definition, In order to explore your true self? In meditation, We don't come to our practice to seek answers or have epiphanies or brilliant insights. We come to our practice to seek rest, To find peace, To explore joy. We experience healing through the attunement to what already exists inside of us. We are not chasing a behavior, A posture, Or a look of what the world says meditation should look like, Or feel like, Or be, Because meditation exists within us, Not outside of us. If we follow this thought, That meditation is instinctive, Innate, And ever-present, We can let ourselves release the worry of meditating wrong and sink more easily and deeply into the experience and sensations present in this moment where we exist right now. Settle in and allow whatever beliefs you hold right now about the way meditation should look or be to soften and release. Rest easy for this practice of exploring what it is that meditation means to you. Softly, Allow the eyes to close and invite your imagination and all of your senses into this moment. When you imagine yourself having a successful meditation practice, What does it look like? What does it feel like? When you imagine yourself having a successful meditation practice, What does it sound like? When you imagine yourself having a successful meditation practice, How does it help you relax, Restore, And rest? When you imagine yourself having a successful meditation practice, How does it help you expand and tune into your highest self? When you imagine yourself having a successful meditation practice, How does it help you stay present in the moment that is unfolding around you? When you imagine yourself having a successful meditation practice, Which of your senses wants to be most fully engaged? Your sense of sight? Your sense of hearing? Your sense of touch? Your sense of smell? Or another sensation that calls to you? When you rest with your senses in meditation, How can you more fully engage? How can you more fully honor or sense those sensations in your meditation practice? Stay here with all of the thoughts, Sensations, And impressions of what would make a meditation practice most meaningful to you for the next minute of this practice. In this moment, How does it feel to be settled into and deeply wrapped up in the sensations of your perfect meditation practice? What quality of energy fills your body, Your mind, Your heart, Your soul, And your higher self as you rest here? Invite all of those sensations to stay present with you as you move into the rest of your day and the rest of your week.
