Throughout the day,
We experience thousands and thousands of thoughts.
And at times,
We may have thoughts that are not enjoyable and are not generators of calmness and tranquility,
The calmness and tranquility that we are all yearning.
During this meditation,
We will allow whatever is present in our mind to just be there.
We will observe the thoughts as if we were watching the sky and its clouds and weathers go by in a non-reactive way as an observer.
I invite you now to find a comfortable sitting position as you settle in your seats,
Relax the body,
Yet remember to keep your back straight.
You may close your eyes or you may keep them slightly open.
Let's do what feels good for you.
Our central and focus point for this meditation will be our breath as it continues to be our anchor.
And hopefully,
It will continue to be your anchor on and after.
Identify that area that you have been connecting with.
Maybe your nostrils,
Your chest,
Your belly,
Or perhaps the sensations and feelings of your entire body as it breathes.
As you connect with your breath,
Embrace and accept whatever is present in the mind,
The heart or the body.
With acceptance,
We allow any type of thoughts to settle,
To complete their course.
The mind is active.
We allow it to be active.
If it's settled,
We observe it and see how it's settled.
We become observers and non-reactors to any type of thoughts,
Difficult,
Worrisome.
When we sit and pause and focus on our breath,
We allow the weathers of the mind to pass by without the need to react.
There's no need to judge ourselves or resist whatever is present in our mind.
Continue focusing on your breathing.
Allow your breathing to flow naturally.
Relax the body.
Remember,
We all experience difficult thoughts and emotions.
Watching the mindfulness allow us to pause and observe instead of react.
By doing this,
We become wiser and less reactive in our lives.
Continue to connect with your anchor,
Your home,
Your breathing.
It's normal to get distracted with thoughts that may be worrisome,
Ruminating about the past or the future.
As you notice that you have been following a train of thought,
Gently and tightly return to your breathing,
Which is your home,
Your anchor,
Your breath.
Calmness and tranquility can only be found in the present moment,
Retraining the mind to be present,
Concentrated in the now.
For a few seconds,
Stay with your breath and return to it as many times as you need to.
Slowly you will see how your natural state of calmness and tranquility will return.
Let's continue.
Slowly open your eyes and return to your daily activities.
It has been a pleasure to meditate with you today.
