Hello,
I'm Michael Beckammer and welcome to mindful meditations with Calm the Bleep Down,
A daily show where every day will bring you quick,
Short,
10 to 15 minute meditations to help keep you going through the day.
Let's go ahead and get started.
Our mindful quote for the day comes from Eckhart Tolle and it reads,
Some changes look negative on the surface,
But you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge.
It is not for any debate or discussion,
It's just to maybe guide you into your meditation with some sort of an intent for the meditation,
Or maybe like let your mind wander to see where it goes based on that Eckhart Tolle quote.
So we're going to go ahead and get started.
First,
I want you to sort of get yourself comfortable.
Sit down or lie down.
Not going to be too specific about that.
You can do this in your car,
At your desk,
On a park bench.
You can do this pretty much anywhere.
Just go ahead and close your eyes.
Start to slow your breathing.
Start to try to quiet down,
Tap into some stillness for just a few minutes.
Pay attention to your breath.
Coming in to your lungs.
And back out again.
Follow that breath all the way in.
All the way out.
All the way out.
As you start to watch your breath slow down even more.
Let's go ahead and take a long,
Slow,
Deep breath in.
And hold it up at the top,
Let that settle.
Three,
Two,
One.
Let it out.
As you're meditating,
This is intended for anyone at any level of meditation.
So if you've never meditated before,
The idea is to.
Not necessarily to have a blank mind.
The idea is that no matter how good you are at meditation,
How much experience you have or any of that stuff,
That the mind is always going to be thinking.
That is what the mind does.
And our intent is to not let ourselves be distracted by the thoughts,
To sort of watch the thoughts come and go as they are and not react to them.
So many people look at it,
Sort of think of it like watching clouds float by in the sky.
You're not judging the clouds,
You're just watching the clouds go by.
And they're not affecting you in any way except just something that you watch for a second or two.
So we're going to do that.
So continue to follow your breath,
Relax,
Sort of scan your body,
Make sure you're relaxed from head to toe,
No tension in the face,
Or even make sure the top of your forehead is relaxed.
The backs of your ears,
Your face,
Your cheeks,
All the way down your shoulders and torso,
Arms and hands,
All the way down your legs to your feet.
And just let that calm,
Relaxed stillness settle in.
Again,
At any point,
If you find yourself getting distracted,
Just go ahead and bring yourself back to your breath.
That is part of the meditation.
That's actually a huge part of it is not to not be distracted,
But to notice when you are distracted and to bring it back.
That's where the mindfulness comes in to the meditation.
So actually it is part,
It's almost the point of the meditation is to notice that you've been distracted and notice what's going on in your mind and body,
And then to pull back from it and observe it instead of reacting to it.
So that's what we're going to do.
Continue breathing long,
Slow,
Deep breaths in and out.
I've heard it described as watching your breath,
Coming in and out.
In and out.
We'll just sit here for a few moments in that quiet stillness,
Noticing when our mind has wandered from the breath and repeatedly coming back to it.
We'll just sit here for a few moments in that quiet stillness,

We'll just sit here for a few moments in that quiet stillness,
Noticing when our mind has wandered from the breath and repeatedly coming back to it.
We'll just sit here for a few moments in that quiet stillness,
Always paying attention to be feeling and sensation in your body.
Always paying attention to be feeling and sensation in your body.
Maybe you notice where the breath feels like it enters your body.
Sometimes people feel it coming into their nose,
And that's where they feel it.
Sometimes people feel as though the breath enters their body in their chest,
Their lungs.
Some people are breathing into their belly and they feel it there.
Just pay attention to that and watch that and take note of where you feel the breath come into your body.
We are obviously breathing into our nose,
Into our lungs,
But the different sensations based on where you place your attention actually have a big effect on what you feel when you're meditating or breathing or doing anything really.
And you can play with that.
What if you tried directing your attention towards your chest when you breathed in?
What do you feel when you put your attention on your chest?
What do you feel when you put your attention on your hands?
Can you breathe into your hand?
Wherever our attention goes,
The energy follows.
And this is true for anything really,
Not just meditation.
Wherever you place your attention,
Whether it be on positive,
Negative,
Unproductive thoughts,
That is where your energy goes.
Energy is kind of like a magnet,
So whatever energy we put out is the energy that comes back to us.
So if you're having problems with distracted or frustrated or angry thoughts,
And it's really becoming a problem for you,
What you have to do is change the energy of your thoughts,
Raise the level of your vibration in a way.
And that is how we can bring about positive change.
But first,
We have to be mindful of it and recognize what's happening with us in those moments.
And meditation is a huge help to develop those mindful moments where we begin to notice things about ourselves that may be holding us back.
Let's take a few more moments of breathing.
Let's take a few more moments of breathing.
Let's take a few more moments of breathing.
Okay,
Now in our last few moments together for the day,
I'd like you to slow your breathing again.
Wherever you are,
Come back into your body.
Take another long,
Slow,
Deep breath in.
And out.
Just sit still for a moment and allow that quiet stillness to settle in.
And know that no matter where you are in your day,
No matter how frustrating or crazy or loud things can get,
You can always close your eyes and come back to this place of stillness.
And while we spent 10 or 12 minutes together today,
It only takes a few seconds to return back to this place.
Just close your eyes.
Take a deep breath in.
And out.
And there you are.
Okay,
That's it for this time on Mindful Meditations with Calm the Bleep Down.
We'll see you back again tomorrow with a completely brand new,
Different meditation with a completely different mindfulness quote to inspire your thoughts.
