Blessings and welcome to the way of meditation.
My name is Daniel Roquello and as always I'm deeply grateful and honored and privileged to have you join me.
I'm grateful that you're choosing to enter into a moment of coming back to the down's of this moment.
You're entering into a moment of raising your vibration and expanding your consciousness.
For this I'm deeply grateful.
So welcome,
Welcome,
Welcome,
Welcome.
Before we move into the meditation,
I just briefly want to touch on the subject about the seriousity of meditation.
Often times I speak to people that have a perception of meditation as being a very serious thing,
But it's really not at all.
In all of the cosmos,
In all of the universe,
There's nothing serious going on except for the minds of humans and perhaps other beings on other planets.
But meditation is not a serious thing,
But it's a very joyous thing.
And so with reference to this,
Whenever we move into meditation,
What kind of position we use,
What kind of posture we use,
Is not all that important.
When I first began to meditate,
I tried to sit cross-legged,
But that does not work for me.
It doesn't,
Because my hips are too stiff.
They're not flexible enough.
So sitting cross-legged,
It's gotten a little bit better over the years,
But still I prefer not to sit cross-legged.
I prefer to sit in a chair with my feet firmly on the ground in a very comfortable position,
Because I want my focus and I want my attention to be turned toward the breath,
Which is what the meditation is being fully present in the nowness of this moment.
And so it doesn't matter how we enter into the nowness of this moment.
That's irrelevant.
That does not matter.
So if you perhaps have thoughts or perceptions or opinions or beliefs as to the way to meditate,
I invite you to release and let them go,
Because meditation,
The act of meditation,
Is purely about coming back,
Or actually,
It's purely about being fully present in the nowness of this moment.
Regardless if we're out walking,
If we're listening to someone,
If we are running,
If we are sitting,
If we are driving,
Whenever we are fully present here and now,
That's when we are in meditation.
And so however you choose to do your sitting,
However you choose to do your meditation session,
The important thing is that you make yourself as comfortable as possible so that you can be fully present in the nowness of this moment.
All right,
So that was it for the brief little teaching before the meditation.
So let's move into the meditation.
And so in this moment,
I invite you to make yourself comfortable.
However you make yourself comfortable,
I invite you to do so,
I invite you to bring that smile to your face,
Reminding yourself that there's nothing serious going on right now at all.
But this is all about joy,
This is all about peace,
This is all about love,
This is all about bliss,
This is all about feeling good.
Even when we're not feeling good,
We can still tap into these divine qualities.
So bring that smile to your face,
I invite you to close your eyes,
I invite you to tap between your eyebrows,
Such to activate that first eye,
The divine eye,
Spiritual eye,
Making us open and receptive to catch that which cannot be caught with our human senses.
And while we tap and while we smile,
Let's set an intention for this meditation session.
My intentions are always to wake up to what I am,
And to allow for greater and grander expressions of that human what to emerge.
So we can release the tapping,
I invite you to place your hands in your lap,
Palms facing upward,
Thumb and middle finger touching as a sign of receptivity,
As a sign of transcending the ego.
And as we turn our attention toward our breath,
Let's be aware that the body is fully capable and able of breathing in and of itself,
Which means that we do not need to participate in the breathing,
We do not need to make the breathing happen.
But what is ours to do is to merely observe it,
Be present with it,
Surrender to it.
And also we want to be aware that the full breath has four stages to it.
The in-breath,
The space between in and out-breath,
The out-breath,
And the space between out and in-breath.
And keeping our attention throughout these four stages makes it so much easier for us to be fully present here and now.
And in this moment I invite you to take on the feeling tone that all is well,
And give the peace that follows permission to move you deep,
Deep,
Deep into the stillness and into the silence.
Because today,
We don cross this space into this kind of widening.
And should your attention drift away from the breath,
I invite you to gently and lovingly turn it back to the breath and begin again.
Enjoy.
You Come back to the breath and begin again you you you you you you you you you you come back to the breath and begin again you you you you come back to the breath and begin again you you you you you you you you you you come back to the breath and begin again you you you you you you you you you you
