Welcome to today's meditation.
In today's meditation you're going to practice becoming the observer of your own thoughts.
Go ahead and get comfortable and close your eyes.
Take a deep breath all the way down into your belly breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth to start.
Just centering yourself here now.
Let's do a couple more like that.
Deep breath in,
Exhale letting go of all of the stuff you don't need to take with you on your inward journey today.
Feeling the belly expand as you inhale and fall as you exhale.
And then when you're ready allowing the breath to flow in and out of your nose throughout this practice.
Just allowing the breath to flow with ease in and out of the nose.
Then imagining you're sitting somewhere in nature.
Maybe on the grass,
On a bench,
Somewhere where you feel really comfortable.
You're looking up into the sky and I want you to notice if it's a blue sky or if there are clouds here.
I want you to notice the clouds just passing on by.
Allowing you to focus on the space,
The blue sky in between the clouds.
Then I want you to imagine that these clouds are representing the thoughts in your mind.
Allowing your thoughts to simply float on by like the clouds in the sky.
Allowing you to become the observer of your own thoughts.
Feeling that space now between you and your thoughts.
As you watch your thoughts just float on by.
Cloud after cloud.
Thoughts after thoughts.
And if there are any thoughts lingering in the mind stick them on a cloud now and let them just float on by.
Just let them float on by.
And perhaps you're noticing now that you're observing your thoughts.
Your body is starting to relax more now.
Maybe you're noticing your shoulders drop.
Your hands relax.
Allowing you to feel more grounded here down through your feet as they relax too.
And when you catch yourself thinking again that's okay.
Just put those thoughts on the clouds and let them go.
Let them float on by.
Allowing you to become the observer of your own thoughts.
So that you can remember here that you are so much more than your thoughts.
What else are you putting on those clouds now so you can release and let that go too now.
And let it float on by.
Let go.
Just enjoying this space here between you and your thoughts.
Simply observing your thoughts.
What are you noticing here in this space?
Maybe calmness is arriving here.
As you breathe in feeling that calmness all the way through your body now.
All the way through your body.
And from this calming space you can go ahead now and set yourself an intention for today.
My intention for today is.
.
.
And then take a deep breath in.
Sealing this practice.
Coming back to the space you're in and opening your eyes in your own time.
Welcome back.
Thank you for meditating with me today.
