Let's begin by moving into your most comfortable meditative position,
Suited for you and your practice at this time.
I encourage the use of any props you know you can use to make yourself more comfortable and at ease.
Give these next few moments to the breath.
Make a point of relaxing into your naturally smooth and balanced breath now in the beginning,
Setting it as the baseline for the rest of our meditation.
Now,
Filtering through the body's five senses before settling on our focus point,
What can you see?
Even with the eyes closed,
Is it completely dark?
Can you see faint lines or patterns?
Maybe the light of the sun on your face?
What can you smell?
Is there anything caught by the nose?
Incense or a candle,
Maybe?
Maybe you notice your space is devoid of any distinct smell.
What can you taste?
Maybe there's a faint taste leftover from breakfast or lunch,
Coffee,
Tea,
Or even from brushing your teeth.
What can you feel?
Notice where your body connects to the floor,
How your clothes feel on your skin,
And any other feelings of touch you can take note of.
What do you hear?
Take note of every sound in the music and outside it,
From the most prominent to the most subtle.
This is where our awareness will be for the rest of our time together,
With the intricate and beautiful sounds of the music.
Hazrat Inayat Khan once said,
Sound is the force of creation,
The true whole.
Music then becomes the voice of the great cosmic oneness,
And therefore an optimal way to reach a true state of healing.
This practice will go for some time and the music will eventually fade.
Feel free to sit for as long as you choose.
Now more slowly.
You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You You
