Hello,
My name is Sean.
I'm here with Brother Tenet and Sister Emily.
We are the Mystic Village,
A group of sound practitioners who have been practicing together for quite some time now,
Performing locally every Sunday.
I hope you enjoy this short guided meditation.
It will be about 10 minutes long.
I want you to start by finding a comfortable place wherever you are,
Whether that means lying down,
Sitting in a chair,
Sitting cross-legged.
Whatever is most comfortable for you and your body is what is most important.
It is important to relax the body so that the mind can also feel relaxed.
When you are ready,
I want you to begin by closing your eyes gently,
Relaxing your shoulders,
Letting go of any stress or tension in the neck,
Consciously releasing stress,
Worry.
Now moving down to your arms,
Softening the legs,
Finally the feet,
Feeling the clothing surrounding you,
A blanket,
A chair,
Connecting the body and the mind now.
I want you to begin focusing your mind and your attention on your breath.
However you do that,
Again,
It is not important how,
But simply just the fact that you do it.
Saying to myself,
I'm breathing in,
I'm breathing out,
Feeling the breath as it comes in on the nose,
The mouth,
The chest,
And letting go as you release.
Let's do a few breaths together now as we focus our attention and our mind on the act of breathing.
Breathing in,
Breathing out,
Breathing in,
Releasing any tension that is left in the body,
Our neck and our shoulders love to hold tension.
Let go of that now.
As you bring in the breath,
I want you to imagine that you are breathing in light,
Powerful cosmic light.
Let it fill your body,
Comforting you,
Healing you,
And as you breathe out,
Imagine this light mixing with any darkness that needs to be released.
Breathing out the darkness,
Breathing in the light.
Your mind is a very powerful tool.
Use it.
If your mind begins to wander,
It is okay.
Do not judge the thoughts that come and go.
Simply observe them,
Noticing them and returning to your breath,
Remembering to thank that portion of your consciousness that has remembered the breath,
Because there is a part of you that remembers to breathe.
Distractions,
Like the background noises that you may be hearing,
Happen all the time throughout life.
The more that we are able to deal with these distractions in meditation and not allow them to bother us,
The easier the distractions in our lives will be to deal with.
Let them come,
Let them go.
Observing,
But never holding on.
Breathing in,
Light.
Breathing out,
Sadness.
Breathing in,
Light.
Letting out,
Worry.
Breathing in,
Love,
Anger.
Focusing our mind on the breath and the sounds that we hear.
The singing bowl,
The tongue drum.
To come back to the breath,
I want you to now envision a white light,
So brilliant,
So vibrant,
It almost blinds you,
But you do not let it overwhelm you.
You bask in its energy,
In its radiance,
Knowing that you are connecting to something higher,
Something greater than yourself.
Envision that light swirling around you,
Healing you,
Loving you.
Breathing in,
You are loved.
You are peace,
You are happiness,
And you are doing good.
Keep going.
Use this light throughout your day,
Whenever you need it,
To heal,
To protect,
To love yourself.
When you are ready,
I want you to begin wiggling your toes,
Slowly,
Moving your fingers,
Your arms,
Your legs,
Opening your eyes to the world that is around you.
Thank you for joining me on this guided meditation.
Namaste.
