Namaste,

Many blessings and welcome to this guided meditation on slowing down the speed of thought.

In our very hectic,

Pressured cultures,

The speed of our thoughts can become very very fast.

When our thoughts become too fast,

This leads to emotional distress,

Negative feelings,

Even physical ailments in the body,

The heart rate goes up,

There's stress,

And so learning to calm the mind,

Learning to slow down the speed of thought is one of the greatest gifts and blessings we can give to ourselves.

So let's just start by settling in,

Taking a few deep breaths,

Making sure you're comfortable and relaxing the body as you breathe in,

And you breathe out,

And simply using the breath to calm the body,

Inhaling deeply,

And exhaling and just softening,

Relaxing,

Melting any tension,

And now just coming into the awareness of being a spiritual being,

A light like a sparkling star.

You,

The soul,

Are naturally peaceful,

Naturally silent,

Naturally filled with love,

And when you come into operating this body,

You bring your mind,

And then your mind correlates to your brain,

And you experience your physical body in the world.

So just for a few moments,

By detaching from the consciousness of I am this body,

I am this personality,

I am this person with all of these things to do,

Just stepping away from that for a moment,

And just being the soul,

Just being the light,

The being of peace.

The one who witnesses,

Experiences,

The one who uses the mind to think.

And just feeling the natural state of your being.

I,

The soul,

Am peaceful.

I,

The soul,

Am filled with peace.

I am peace,

And I am aware of my peace,

And I now direct this peace to my mind.

My mind is my great tool,

My great friend,

Who perhaps I haven't always looked after completely,

But now I,

The soul,

Give peace to my mind.

I,

The soul,

Give love to my mind.

Aware I am light,

Aware I am peace,

Aware I have the power and the strength to calm my own mind and slow down the speed of thought.

I,

The soul,

Give this blessing to my mind,

And I find my mind becomes more and more peaceful,

More and more silent,

Slow,

Calm,

The more I am aware of who I am.

When I am aware of myself as a peaceful being of light,

Of love,

Then my mind also becomes peaceful.

Yet when I am caught up in thinking I am this physical appearance,

I am this personality,

I am this role,

I have all these things to do,

Then my mind becomes quick,

My mind becomes agitated,

There's stress,

And there's too many thoughts,

Many of these thoughts unnecessary and stemming from a place of a core belief in something I'm not.

Aware of myself as light,

Bodiless,

Free,

Divine,

Peaceful,

Then I bring peace to my mind and I'm able to slow down the speed of thought.

Stabilizing the self in the original state of peace,

I,

The soul,

Give that blessing of peace to my mind.

Connected to the divine,

I,

The soul,

Am merged in love,

Peace and silence as though I'm floating in an ocean of peace and as I am peaceful I bring great peace to my mind as the thoughts are slower and the mind feels calm,

Clear,

And serene.

My mind rests,

My body rests,

As I,

The soul,

Become stable in my true nature of peace,

Silence,

Love,

And I emanate these qualities just as the divine,

The spiritual friend,

The spiritual parent,

Is constantly emanating love,

Peace,

Power,

And bliss,

So too I,

The soul,

Stabilize in my true form and emanate these divine qualities,

This great light,

Into the world.

Merged in love,

Merged in peace,

Aware I,

The soul,

Am peaceful and my mind is peaceful.

A simple practice that I can come back to again and again,

Simply stepping away from getting caught up in thinking I am this body,

I am this personality,

And going and dropping back into the awareness of I,

The soul,

The being of love.

From this place I can then bring calm,

I can bring peace to the mind,

And I can slow down the speed of my thoughts.

Aware of my deep,

Intimate connection to the One,

To the Source,

The Divine,

I am easily able to tap into this endless source of peace,

Love,

Power,

Purity,

And bliss.

I am able to become merged in love,

Merged in peace,

And I feel completely peaceful.

With the mind rested,

I can also create thoughts,

Rather than allowing the unconscious stream of thoughts picked up from all over the place,

I can create elevated thoughts,

I can think in my mind I am an embodiment of love,

I shine this love in all directions,

I am an embodiment of peace,

Of bliss,

Like an angel that gives light to all those I meet.

So I,

The soul,

Can create thoughts like this,

I can create thoughts that bring good fortune into my life,

I can bring blessings to the body,

This body is completely filled with health and light.

My mind is peaceful,

All of the work I do in the world is deeply blessed and I always have the clarity of what needs to be done and what can be let go of.

So thoughts like this,

You can create your own list of thoughts,

You can think your own thoughts once you've calmed the mind,

You can create powerful,

Pure thoughts that create a positive impact in your life.

It simply starts by coming into the awareness of the self and calming the mind,

Slowing down the speed of thoughts with the simple power of your own being and your being aware of yourself,

Of who you are,

Your true nature and then you can calm the mind,

You can slow down the speed of thoughts,

You're connected to the most elevated,

Loving being in the universe,

Divine and you can become merged in peace,

Merged in love and create powerful,

Pure,

Elevated thoughts from this place.

Stepping away from the consciousness of the ego,

The body,

Consciousness and stepping into the consciousness of the soul,

Soul consciousness,

Divine consciousness,

True consciousness and it's from this place that the mind becomes peaceful.

Namaste,

Thank you for joining for this practice,

Receiving the whole practice for yourself and continuing to come back into the awareness of yourself,

A peaceful soul bringing light to the mind and light to the world.

Many blessings and om shanti.

I felt a bit uncomfortable at the mentions of the "divine", "higher power", "source", etc., but I don't fault the narrator for that and I understand how others may find that helpful. Her voice was very calming. Just thought others may want that warning.
