Hello, I am Stacey. I am your guide for this meditation. And this meditation is an invitation to step away from the noise for just a few moments. Step away from the opinions, Expectations, The questions. The endless searching for the right answer. And instead come back to the one place we so often forget to listen. Within. Find a comfortable position. Allow your hands to rest easily. And when you're ready. Gently close your eyes. Or simply soften your gaze. Take a slow breath in through your nose. And gently release it. Again, Breathing in. And gently breathing out. There's nowhere else you need to be right now. Nothing you need to figure out. Nothing you need to fix. For the next few minutes, You are simply allowing yourself to be here. Begin noticing where your body is supported. The surface beneath you. The weight of your body being held. Notice your shoulders. And allow them to soften. Relaxing your jaw. Soften the muscles around your eyes. Let your hands become easy. Your belly soft. Your breath natural. You don't have to force yourself to relax. Simply notice what happens when you stop asking your body to hold everything quite so tightly. And now begin to notice your thoughts. Not the story inside them. Just the presence of them. Thought might come. And another. Perhaps a question? A memory. Something you need to do later? You don't need to make any of them disappear. Simply notice. Now imagine each thought passing through your awareness. Without needing your attention. You don't have to follow it. You don't have to answer it. You do not have to decide whether it's right or wrong. You can simply let it pass. Now notice what remains when you stop chasing every thought. Notice a quiet place underneath all that thinking. A place that does not need to shout. Place that does not need to convince you of anything. A place within you that simply knows. You have spent a long time outside of yourself seeking answers. Asking, What should I do? What would they do? What is the right choice? What if I get it wrong? But for this moment, We're not asking anyone else. Or are you even asking the busy mind? We're simply listening. Bring your awareness now towards the center of your body. You might notice your chest, Your belly, Your breath. There is no particular place you are supposed to feel this. Just notice where your awareness naturally settles. And quietly ask yourself. What do I know right now? Not asking, What can I prove? If not, What should I know? Not asking, What would someone else tell me? Simply, What do I know? Perhaps an answer comes. Perhaps it doesn't. Perhaps what comes isn't a sentence at all. It may be a feeling. A sense of opening. And tightening. A quiet yes. A quiet no. Or simply stillness. You do not have to turn it into anything. You are practicing listening. And listening to yourself is something that becomes clearer the more you allow yourself to do it. Now quietly repeat to yourself. I am allowed to listen to myself. I don't need every answer today. I can give myself enough space to know what is mine. I trust myself one choice at a time. And perhaps most importantly, I don't have to force clarity. I can create the quiet where clarity has room to find me. Take another slow, Easy breath in. And on your exhale, Notice your body again. Noticing the surface beneath you. Notice the sounds around you. Begin gently moving your fingers and your toes. Maybe rolling your shoulders and tilting your head side to side. And as you return to your day, You don't need to carry an enormous revelation away from this practice. Take something much simpler with you. Before immediately looking outside yourself for an answer. Pause. Listen. Ask yourself, What do I already know? Thank you for spending these few minutes with yourself today. Come back to yourself and trust what you know.
