Blessings and welcome to the way of meditation.
My name is Daniel Rochaio and as always I'm grateful and I'm honored and I'm privileged that I get to facilitate this way of meditation and that you are joining me,
That you're choosing to tune in,
That you're choosing to listen,
That you're choosing to participate in.
Coming back to the nowness of this moment of becoming still,
Of allowing for the peace and the love and the joy and the harmony and the wholeness that is right where you are,
Right where I am,
Inherent in each and every single moment,
That you are allowing that to well up and to come forth.
The theme for this particular meditation is to not judge ourselves because sometimes when we are in meditation we are more or less continuously pulled away from the breath or whatever means we have to anchor us in the nowness of this moment.
We all go through periods where the mind is racing and where there's so much thoughts when that voice in the mind just will not shut up and just will not be quiet.
And of course meditation has nothing to do with pressing the mute button on that voice or that mental chatter.
But meditation is about observing and allowing it to be and thus releasing and letting go and gradually that voice and that chatter becomes less and less and less.
But that's not the intention of the meditation,
That's not the purpose of meditation,
That's a side effect of the meditation.
But the purpose of meditation is to simply be,
To simply observe,
To simply embrace and allow that which is to be as it is and gradually come into the awareness that we are not the thoughts,
We are not that mental chatter,
We are not our emotions,
We are not our bodily experiences but we are the consciousness through which all of these flow.
And so whenever we catch ourselves having drifted away from the breath,
Whenever we catch ourselves having been pulled into a fantasy or a thought form or a memory or a projection or an emotion or a sensation,
We are so wise to not ever judge ourselves,
We are so wise to not ever condemn ourselves or to criticize ourselves but to simply,
As always,
Embrace and allow whatever is to be as it is.
If we got pulled in by a fantasy,
We catch ourselves,
We come back to the breath and we begin again.
When we fall,
We get back up and we begin again.
No judgment,
No criticism,
No self-blame but only love,
Only compassion,
Only kindness.
Human self-judgment serve nothing except for making us feel bad about who we are and what we are capable of.
And so as we move into the meditation,
That is my invitation to you that whenever you catch yourself having drifted to lovingly and gently and kindly just bring your attention back to the breath and begin again.
And if you catch yourself judging yourself or if you catch yourself criticizing yourself gently and lovingly turn your attention away from these judgments and this criticism,
Come back to the breath and begin again.
And so in this moment,
I invite you to make yourself comfortable.
I invite you to bring a smile to your face,
Letting your body know that all is well,
That it can relax.
Begin to produce and distribute these tonic chemicals,
These healing chemicals,
These good for the body chemicals.
I invite you to,
While you smile,
Close your eyes and begin to tap gently between your eyebrows,
Activating that first eye,
The spiritual eye.
I invite you to set an intention for this meditation and my intentions are always to wake up to who and what I am and to forever allow for greater and grander expressions of that who and what to emerge.
We can release the tapping and I invite you to place your hands in your lap,
Palms facing upward,
Thumb and middle finger touching as a sign of receptivity.
I invite you to turn your attention toward your breath,
Fully aware that the body is able and capable of breathing in and of itself and so you don't need to make the breathing happen,
You don't need to participate in the breathing,
But you get to observe it,
Surrender to it and allow it to happen.
And also I want you 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 being aware of this and seeking to keep your attention on all four of these stages allows you to sustain your attention on the breath with much greater ease.
And so in this moment I invite you to take on the feeling tone that all is well and give it the peace that follows permission to move you deep,
Deep,
Deep into the stillness and into the silence.
We are close.
