Welcome to this meditation reflecting on The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz,
And the third agreement is Don't Make Assumptions.
Take a long,
Deep,
Slow breath in and gently release that breath.
Take another breath in and let something go.
Continue with your inhale and exhale,
Settling into the body,
Noticing this present moment.
And with this meditation,
Increasing your awareness of moments when you might be making assumptions,
To be in the practice of pausing and noticing and asking yourself,
Is it true?
Do I know all the facts?
Am I reacting to a truth or an assumption?
Is it true?
Have I reached out to the source of the facts?
Is my source of facts credible?
Am I taking the time to discover truth instead of reacting and making assumptions?
To cultivate the third agreement,
Don't Make Assumptions.
Repeat this affirmation.
I pause to seek the truth.
I pause to seek the truth.
I pause to seek the truth.
Repeat this affirmation out loud,
As a whisper,
Silently,
To feed the mind this message consciously and subconsciously.
To create the habit of seeking the truth,
Credible sources of information to support the habit,
This third agreement,
Don't Make Assumptions.
I'll watch the time,
Five minutes,
To repeat this affirmation.
To ingrain it into the mind,
I pause to seek the truth.
Take a long,
Slow,
Deep breath in and slowly,
Gently release it.
I pause to seek the truth.
Cultivating the third agreement,
Don't Make Assumptions.
Thank you for joining me in today's meditation.
Peace out.
