Resting In The Sky Of Mind - With Soft Music

In this mindfulness meditation, you imagine an open, clear, spacious, blue sky and allow that expanse to widen and clear your mind. Whenever thoughts, images, memories, or impressions flow into awareness, you watch them float by like wispy clouds appearing and dissolving in the open clear sky of your mind. A great way to release stressful thoughts and discover peaceful clarity. (Soft background music, "April Dawn," by Silencio Music.)

Resting in the sky of mind. Please join me in sitting or lying in a comfortable position in a quiet, Private environment. Lightly close your eyes. Imagine a string attached to the top of your head drawing your spine upward into nice alignment. Take a few slow, Deep breaths, Feeling the sensations of breathing inside your body. Now, Imagine that you are looking out at a clear, Spacious blue sky on a warm spring day. Smile as you take in the full expanse of the sky, As far out in your peripheral vision as possible. Let that open expanse widen and clear your mind. Enjoy the open, Clear, Spacious blue sky. Now, Notice that clouds move across the sky. Slowly, Gently, Easily, Like cottony whispers. They form shapes, Travel, Merge with others, And disperse in the high-altitude breeze. Smile, And enjoy the easy play of the clouds moving across the sky. Now, Imagine that your mind is that open, Clear, Spacious blue sky, And the clouds are the thoughts, Images, Memories, And impressions that float through your mind. Imagine you are the open, Clear, Spacious blue sky of your mind, And watch any thoughts that float by. Rest in the open, Clear, Spacious sky of mind. Smile and enjoy the open, Clear, Spaciousness of your mind. Now, Slowly open your eyes and feel the space around you. Take that open, Clear, Spacious mind with you wherever you go. When you get stuck in stress or lost in thoughts, Observe that from the open, Clear, Spacious sky of your mind.
