Transcript

Try to bring your attention into this moment,

Into your bodily awareness,

As I read through meditation for my desk job.

Bodily Awareness Today I intend to be in my body and with my breathing.

As I sit or stand at my desk,

I will bring a quality of awareness to where I am.

Then the sensation of my inhalation and exhalation,

The tingling in my fingers and toes,

The subtle vibration of life filling my body.

I bring the stillness of meditation with me into my day.

As I sit,

My back is straight,

My head is held high.

I sit or stand with a quality of awareness,

A sense of nobility.

Today I will scan my body periodically,

Looking for areas of tightness or tension.

I breathe into those spots,

Letting go and resting in this moment.

Throughout this day I will take time to get up and stretch and use my body.

Big Mind Today I connect with the more profound truth of myself and life,

And I recognize a playful attitude in all things.

If things get serious,

A customer is angry or there is an answer I do not know,

I smile,

Letting go.

I rest in the ease of just this moment.

Coming from this present moment awareness,

I will see my old self-defeating patterns as they arise.

I will sense their energy holding them in my outstretched hand.

I watch them come and I watch them go without grasping or trying to change them.

Today I am aware of the depth of the universe,

The complexity and multifaceted nature of existence eb at my core.

When difficulties arise in this artificial human structure,

I return to this depth and recharge in the playfulness and fabric of existence.

Today I am aware of my projections onto others.

When I notice that I am projecting,

I go inward and sense the energy inside my body.

Doing this brings me closer to the root of the emotions I am projecting.

I will be aware of how I use my words,

Resonating from the truth in my body.

I will show the confidence and love born from direct experience,

Sharing this confidence and love with those around me.
