Put Down the Weight of Being Someone (5 Minute Meditation)

This 5-minute open-eyed meditation is an invitation to put down the weight of being someone for a moment. Imagine there is no past to carry and no future to figure out, no story to hold onto, only this moment, exactly as it is. What would it feel like to arrive here as if you had just dropped into this body, with nothing to remember and nowhere else to be? In this space, we rest in the awareness beneath the story of who we think we are and discover the peace and presence that are already here.
