Ocean Of Meditation

Relax with a short poem-based meditation with an ocean theme. Let the waves of peace wash over you, taking you closer to your true nature. The poem comes from the book Ocean of Yoga: Meditations on Yoga and Ayurveda for Balance, Awareness, and Wellbeing (2017) by Julie Dunlop.

Transcript

Welcome to this moment as you exit the busyness of your day or night and find yourself in this moment,

This moment that you are offering to yourself as a portal for relaxation,

Rejuvenation,

Restoration,

Recalibration.

It is when we close our eyes and turn inward that often we can find an unexpected spaciousness within,

Within the quiet or perhaps the silence.

There is a space in which we can breathe a little more ease,

Deepening the breath,

Slowing the breath as it flows in and flows out,

Moving ever so slowly deeper into this inward space,

This sanctuary inside of peace as you continue flowing with your breath,

Allowing your thoughts to drift away and staying present to the sensation of the current moment.

The words of a poem will begin to flow,

Perhaps carrying you deeper into tranquility.

This poem is called Ocean of Meditation and can be found in the book Ocean of Yoga.

Ocean of Meditation,

Breathe into the spaciousness of this moment,

Dimensions unfolding,

The consciousness of yourself,

This universe expanding with each inhalation and exhalation,

Your consciousness awakening,

Radiant like sun on water,

The abundance of space,

The flow of waves,

The ocean of meditation ever widening,

Ever deepening,

Limitations of the mind receding,

Releasing you into the part of you you can't see,

Can't touch,

Can't know,

Except in the deepest reaches of yourself merging one breath at a time with the immeasurable expansiveness of the limitless divine.
