Inner Peace & Quiet: A Calming Silent Practice

The ultimate aim of meditation is a peaceful and quiet mind. So let's take a few minutes to find some internal silence. My guidance here is quite minimal and simple. There is nothing to do. Nothing to figure out. Just a little space for inner peace.

Transcript

Peace and quiet.

You can allow the body to relax or let go in any way it might like to.

And you might take a couple deep inhales and exhales here.

All the way out and all the way back in.

Mind you don't have to think anything or figure anything out or solve anything right now.

Body you don't have to do anything right now.

Just becoming as natural as you can.

Here in the center of everything.

Peace and quiet.

But now you can take a few more deep breaths.

You can re-release anything that might keep tightening back up in the body.

If this felt right you might come back and join me again.

And maybe I'll see you around.

Peace and quiet.

Wonderful way to start my day! I’ll be joining you again and again. Thank you Charles.

Sweet and simple. I loved the space and minimal guidance. Thank you Charles!

Great thanks - ‘simple’ (note the inverted commas) & effective - shall come back to this one! Best from Veronica 🙏

I love this but then I love most things you do. So grateful you chose to do the things you do. 💝🙏🏼

This was fantastic! Just what I desperately needed today, especially. To just be and feel the peace and quiet!

So lovely to come home to self in this way. Thank you!

Really calming. Just stopping. Breathing. Knowing that in this moment I don't have to DO anything.
So simple, yet extremely effective.
This is a great anytime meditation that I'll practice, a lot! ☺️
Thank you Charles (again)

Love the simplicity of this meditation. 🙏🏼

this is rather fantastic. thank you. 🦢

A welcome addition to my saved Charles / Tao/ Zen tracks. The silent part, even for just a few minutes, is always a challenge for me. This makes it easy to practice. Thanks!

Perfectly simple, thank you! 💪🏼🥷

This is what ‘holding space’ truly means for me. Thank you Charles, I always appreciate your voice and wisdom.

So simple yet so profound. This was exactly what I needed this morning. Thank you.

I will keep this short meditation in my pocket for when I need ‘5 minutes peace’. It’s also the title of a kids book that I have read to my grandkids! 🙂💕

Wow. I so appreciate your presence. Thank you! 💖☮️🌈

In all the seven years of subscribing to IT as a member, this was the most minimal of guidance, theme, and practice ever experienced.

Utterly elegant simplicity.
Yet; don’t be fooled by its ostensibly spartan elements. Every aural zen garden that he builds with us holds ineffable, inestimable illuminations.

(As a big fan, now, I’ll show up any ol’ time for Charles’ unique and instructive offerings...)

Thanks for all of your offerings, Charles. The peace and quiet was so quiet, I jumped when you started talking again. One way to wake the heart up. Haha

Well that was a pretty perfect 5 minutes. I think I'll keep it on speed dial. Thanks, Charles

Thank you sooooo calming, a wonderful way to start my day.
Namaste 🙏✨️

Peace and quiet was perfect. 🌸🌸
