Hi.
Today we're going to do nothing.
We're not even going to meditate.
We're just going to sit,
Or stand,
Or lie down,
Or walk,
Wherever we are,
And do nothing.
Meditation and mindfulness is not another thing to do.
It should be easy,
It should require no effort at all.
And the only reason that it feels hard sometimes is because we're always moving and always looking for the next thing to do.
So let's do nothing.
Don't try to control your breath.
Don't try to stop your thoughts.
Just sit there.
And observe what's going on outside of you and also inside of you.
And don't change anything,
Just be exactly as you are right now,
Wherever you are.
Allow the mind and the body to settle on their own.
Just by being still with nothing to do.
And there might be times that you want to do something.
But just remind yourself gently that,
Right now,
You are doing nothing.
And later,
You can do that something.
I'll keep the time for us and ring a bell at the end,
And I'll be right here with you,
Doing nothing.
See you soon.
