Cultivating Stillness

This quiet recording gives you the tools to cultivate stillness in your daily life.

Transcript

Welcome.

This is a guided,

Brief meditation for cultivating more stillness in the flow of life.

Find a comfortable seat or recline.

Establishing comfort is essential in allowing the mind,

The body,

And even the breath to become more abundant and arrive in the flow of stillness.

Close the eyes,

Allowing the lids to seal and taking in the inner landscape.

If you are reclined,

Feel all the points of contact and let the breath be the current in the stillness.

If you're seated,

Give spaciousness to the spine,

Lengthening more vertically and widening through the collarbones to tap into that universal wisdom that is your birthright.

As you begin to sharpen the aperture of your focus on your breathing,

Telescope your energy inward to becoming a keen observer and witness of your thoughts.

When the mind wanders,

Return to sensation,

The feeling of your clothing touching your skin,

Your breath moving through your body,

The points of contact with the earth.

If the mind is still running a story from the past or planning for the future,

You can hear,

Return to sensation,

The rising and the falling of the belly or the widening and narrowing of the ribs.

If the mind needs a focus when you inhale,

So is the mantra.

When you exhale,

Hum is the mantra.

So hum.

So hum.

So hum.

So hum.

Continue to trust in the breath and to settle into the moment.

When thoughts arrive,

Notice,

Watch,

Observe,

Let them flow.

Deepening breath,

Delving into the inhale and exhale.

Only aware that all is moving,

You stay in the stillness you are cultivating now.

There is nothing you need to do.

Only breathe in and breathe out.

Breathe in and breathe out.

This moment.

This moment.

This moment.

This moment.

If you feel inspired to continue sitting,

You stay and breathe longer.

Thank yourself for taking this time for yourself,

For cultivating spaciousness,

Quiet,

Reclaiming that inner stillness,

Aware breath in,

Breath out.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Excellent prompts spaced apart just right. This session helped me to "right the ship" for the day and brought much comfort to me.

This meditation always helps me reconnect to the stillness and peace inside of me.

I always come back to this meditation, particularly when life is swirling madly, and it always helps me find my balance.

That was just what I needed. I like the tone of her voice and the way she allows there to be space for you to cultivate stillness.

Loved the pace and space! Got just what I needed. Thanks.

Theres no point me saying anything other than give it a go, this is the only way to find out if its any good. My 5 star rating speaks for its self

Great start of the great day!

Very calming, good pace, I appreciate no distraction only voice

So hum. Great mantra. I'll do this one again

Thank YOU so much !

Great for morning refocusing and grounding.

Liked a lot. Thanks. Loved the mantra. So hum. Delightful! Blissful. Really felt connected to this meditation today. 🙏🏽- Namaste. ...Wish I couldn’t hear your breathing in background as mine was slower than yours & it would throw off my rhythms...

* just redid your meditation 🧘🏽‍♀️- this was my second time. Felt great, oddly enough this time, didn’t get distracted by your breathing! 🤷🏽‍♀️. Just goes to show you, sometimes things warrant a second examination.

Such a wonderful guided practice.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Exactly what I need.

Simple, calming, lovely voice.

This helped me settle down and pause my thoughts.
Thank you

She knows just the right words to say.

Just what I needed this morning. Thank you!
