Way Of Meditation - Come Back & Begin Again

Meditation is perhaps the most powerful tool there is when it comes to calling forth the peace, love, joy, harmony, abundance, and wholeness that is inherent within each of us. As such, I have been guided to create this The way of Meditation Series. Each session begins with a brief teaching around meditation followed by a meditation sitting. I invite you to join me for a beautiful, healing, soothing and empowering moment of becoming still through meditation. Namaste, Daniel

Transcript

Blessings and welcome to the way of meditation.

This segment where we come back to the Nowness of this moment,

Where we make ourselves open and available to be fully present in the Nowness of this moment,

Which is what meditation is all about.

Meditation is about us being aware of everything that is,

Being present with everything that is,

Embracing and allowing everything that is to simply be as it is.

Seeking to refrain from judgment,

Opinions,

Point of views,

Thought patterns as to what should and should not be.

And so I welcome you here.

My name is Daniel Roquello and I'm grateful that you're choosing to join me in a moment of expanding our consciousness and raising our vibration,

In a moment of practicing,

Being still,

Being present.

And it is from this space of being fully present in the Nowness of this moment that all of the peace and all of the love and all of the joy and all of the harmony and abundance and wholeness and beauty that is inherently within each and every single one of us,

It is from this space when we're fully present in the Nowness of this moment,

When we're fully present in the Nowness of this moment,

When we're fully anchored in the Nowness of this moment.

That is when we give all of these divine qualities permission to well up from within us,

Permission to erupt and to emerge with ever greater ease and grace.

And so the theme for this particular meditation session is come back and begin again.

Because meditation is,

It is a practice and it is a skill that we need to learn,

That we gradually learn.

It is about us gradually learning to master our attention,

To master our mind,

To withdraw our minds from the world,

From conditions,

From experiences,

From situations and circumstances and bring it to a point of our choosing,

A focal point of our choosing.

But habitually our minds wander,

Our minds drift away.

We get lost in fantasies,

We get lost in memories,

We get lost in projections into the future and all these kinds of mental habits and mental patterns that we're so used to engaging,

That we're so used to that we don't even notice it in the beginning.

But through the practice of meditation and through the consistent and regular practice of meditation,

We gradually begin to exercise mastery over our minds and over our attention.

And so meditation,

As we sit in meditation,

And I love to use the breath as my anchor to the nowness of this moment.

And so it is my invitation that you come back to the breath and seek to sustain your attention on the breath.

But when it wanders,

When it drifts away,

When your attention drifts away,

The way to strengthen this attention muscle is to bring it back to the breath and begin again.

And then the mind wanders and it drifts and we bring the attention back to the breath and we begin again.

And so that is the practice.

That is the practice.

That is how we hone our skills and our attention muscles.

That's how we strengthen our attention muscles.

By bringing it back,

By bringing the attention back and back and back and back.

Alright,

So that's what this session is all about.

And so in this moment I invite you to make yourself comfortable wherever you are,

Whoever you are.

I invite you to make yourself as comfortable as possible.

I invite you to close your eyes and I invite you to bring a smile to your face.

That smile informs the body that it can begin to relax and that it can begin to produce and distribute these healing and loving chemicals that strengthens the immune system and slows down the aging process in the body.

So we want to smile.

And there's nothing serious about meditation at all.

So there's no gain in bringing the seriousity into the meditation.

But we want to bring our lightheartedness and our lightmindedness into the meditation.

So while we smile,

I invite us to gently tap between our eyebrows to activate that spiritual eye,

The divine eye,

Get some activation going,

Making us open,

Available,

Receptive to catch that which cannot be caught and to see that which cannot be seen and to hear that which cannot be heard with our human senses.

And while we tap and I invite you to keep your smile,

Let's set the intention for this meditation.

And I am always going with the same two intentions and these are for me to wake up to whom what I am and for me to forever allow for greater and greater expressions of that whom what to emerge.

And so you're welcome to join me in these.

We can gently release the tapping.

I invite us to close our eyes if we have not done so.

I invite us to place our hands in our lap,

Palms facing upward,

Thumb and middle finger touching as a sign of receptivity.

And as we turn our attention to the breath,

There are a couple of things we need to be aware of.

First of all,

We need to be aware that the body is fully capable and able of doing the breathing by itself.

What this means is that we do not need to make the breathing happen.

We do not need to participate in the breathing.

But ours to do is to merely observe and witness the breathing as it happens.

Because it happens by divine design.

And the second thing we want to be aware of is that the breath has four stages to it.

There's the in-breath,

There's the out-breath and then there's a space between in and out-breath and the space between out and in-breath.

And being aware of these and seeking to have our attention stayed on all these four stages allows us to sustain our attention on the breath for longer and longer and longer periods.

And as we in this moment take on the feeling tone that all is well,

Let's give the peace that follows permission to move us deep,

Deep,

Deep into the stillness and into the silence.

And if our thoughts or our attention drifts away from the breath,

Let's turn it back to the breath and begin again.

Come back to the breath and begin again.

Come back to the breath and begin again.

Come back to the breath and begin again.

Come back to the breath and begin again.

Come back to the breath and begin again.

Come back to the breath and begin again.

Come back to the breath and begin again.

Come back to the breath and begin again.

Please do the best of our ability.

Come back to the breath and begin again.

Come back to the breath and begin again.

Come back to the breath and begin again.

Come back to the breath and begin again.

Come back to the breath and begin again.

Come back to the breath and begin again.

Come back to the breath and begin again.

Come back to the breath and begin again.

Come back to the breath and begin again.

Come back to the breath and begin again.

Come back to the breath and begin again.

Come back to the breath and begin again.

Come back to the breath and begin again.

Come back to the breath and begin again.

Come back to the breath and begin again.

Come back to the breath and begin again.

As I in a brief moment move us into a closing prayer,

I invite you to remain with your eyes closed,

Your heart open,

Your mind open,

So that you may give the prayer permission to move you into an even higher vibration and into an even more expanded consciousness.

And so in this moment,

This wonderful,

This magnificent,

This glorious,

This beautiful moment,

How grateful I am for the peace that is here.

How grateful I am for the joy that is here,

For the love that is here,

The harmony that is here,

The wholeness that is here,

The abundance that is here,

The prosperity that is here,

The beauty that is here.

How grateful I am to know and feel that all of these are fully present in the nowness of this moment.

I'm so,

So grateful.

So,

So grateful.

I'm so,

So grateful for you,

For you choosing to participate in this meditation,

For you choosing to spend time with activities that do raise your vibration,

That do expand your consciousness,

For your willingness to withdraw from the world,

From the hustle and the bustle,

To simply be still,

To simply be still.

And for your willingness to learn and to go even deeper and wider and higher into the art and practice of meditation,

Into the art and practice of being still,

Into the art and practice of being present in the nowness of this moment.

I'm so grateful.

Thank you.

Thank you.

And from this space of gratitude,

I know and I feel the allness and the goodness and the eternality of Spirit.

I know and I feel that there is nothing but God,

Or call it the divine matrix,

Or call it the unified field,

Or call it what you want to call it.

But this one presence is all there is.

There is no other presence.

There is no other power.

There is no other space.

There is no other place than Spirit.

Being infinite,

Being omnipresent,

Being eternal.

God only,

Only God.

There is only Spirit.

Expressing itself in,

As and through each and every single being,

In each and every single object,

In each and every single space and place in all of creation.

I know it and I feel it.

I know it and I feel it.

And what this means is that right where you are and right where I am,

There is only God.

There is only Spirit.

And the Spirit is infinite love.

Right where we are,

There is only infinite love.

The Spirit is infinite peace.

Right where we are,

There is only infinite peace.

The Spirit is infinite abundance and wholeness and beauty and harmony.

These are all that is.

These are all that is.

And as we come back to the nowness of this moment,

And as we strengthen our attention muscle,

Which allows us to be fully present in the nowness of this moment for longer and longer periods,

Until we perpetually live in the nowness of this moment,

Even when we're not in meditation.

But we continuously move and live from this space of being anchored in the nowness of this moment.

Even when we're engaging in activities that require our conscious attention,

We're still,

Half of our attention is still in the nowness of this moment.

We're still anchored in the nowness of this moment.

We're still grounded in the nowness of this moment.

And this is what continuous and regular practice of meditation leads us and moves us to being ever more present,

Ever more grounded,

Ever more.

And more anchored in that which is now.

And as God is all there is,

And as God is eternally for expansion,

As God is eternally for progression,

Allowing for more of life,

Allowing for more of love and peace and joy and harmony to flow in,

As and through all of creation.

It is God's deepest desire that we all make ourselves as open,

As available,

As receptive for that love and peace and joy and harmony and wholeness and abundance to flow through us.

In other words,

It is God's deepest desire that we learn to ground,

To center,

To anchor ourselves in the nowness of this moment.

Something wonderful is happening right now.

In this moment I know it and I feel it.

I know and I feel,

I absolutely know and I absolutely feel that all is well right now,

Right here,

Right now,

Right here.

That everything is working for the highest good.

I know it,

I feel it,

I accept it,

I give thanks for it,

I allow it to be.

And so it is.

So be it and so shall it be.

Amen.

Amen.
