We all have the ability to be completely present and aware.
But so much of the time,
We allow ourselves to be distracted.
We plow through life completely unaware.
Like driving down the highway with our eyes closed.
This meditation is to help retrain us to be aware.
Please sit comfortably.
And close your eyes.
Start by taking a few deeper breaths.
Be aware of your body slightly expanding as you inhale.
And contracting as you exhale.
Now,
Allow your breathing to be normal.
Observe your breathing.
Not foreseeing or concentrating.
Simply aware of the breath.
Effortlessly flowing in.
And effortlessly flowing out.
Now bring your awareness into your chest.
See if you can be aware of your heartbeat.
They're feeling it.
Or hearing it.
Fully aware.
Of your heartbeat.
Now come to your mind.
Be aware of your thoughts.
Not judging or analyzing.
Simply watching them come and go.
What about your emotions?
Again,
Not judging or evaluating.
Be fully aware of what you're feeling.
Now allow your awareness to move effortlessly through your body.
If you notice any areas of tension or discomfort.
Simply be fully aware of the sensation.
Now bring your awareness back to your breathing.
Take a deeper breath.
And when you're ready.
Please open your eyes with awareness.
Practice being aware.
Now and then during the day,
Pause.
And be totally aware of whatever you are seeing,
Hearing,
Or doing.
Being aware will bring an entirely new dimension to your life.
Namaste.
