In The Stillness Of My Mind, I Am At Peace: A Contemplation

This is a practical mindfulness-based, and contemplative, meditation to help curate stillness and peace in the mind and body. A contemplative meditation guides you with descriptive cues and inspired thought ideas that allow you to be investigative, while returning to your breathing for a time. Contemplative meditations also encourage self-reflection, asking some form of the question, 'Who Am I?' Each time you experience this meditation, notice its effects. Notice your ability to delve deeper; to witness your consciousness - and to experience precisely what you need in the present moment. 

Transcript

In the stillness of my mind,

I am peaceful.

I am calm.

I curate stillness as I become still in my body,

As I find a comfortable place to be,

To feel the presence of what I am.

I am here for a time,

Simply following the movement of my inhalation and my exhalation.

In the beautiful presence of stillness and yet soft movement,

I am breathing in and out of my body.

As I hold my attention onto my breath for a time,

I feel freedom.

Freedom from my thoughts,

Freedom from any and all worries,

Freedom to be unto myself,

Freedom to be in the presence and pureness of this moment.

As I breathe each breath in stillness,

In the stillness of my mind,

I am one with each inhalation.

I am present with each exhalation.

I am still.

My mind softly follows my breath.

My mind is able to focus on the freedom of breath,

Always present,

Always with me,

Always in gentle harmony with my being.

In the stillness of my body,

I feel a return to calm,

To this moment,

To my inner presence.

I simply allow my breath to guide me.

Breathe for a time,

Feeling the gentle rhythm of your breath.

Breathe for a time,

Feeling the gentle rhythm of your breath.

Breathe for a time,

Feeling the gentle rhythm of your breath.

Breathe for a time,

Feeling the gentle rhythm of your breath.

Breathe for a time,

Feeling the gentle rhythm of your breath.

As you are following the movement of breath flowing into and out from you,

You witness a quieting,

A softening,

A stillness of your mind.

Let your mind be at one with your breath.

Let your mind be at one with your breath.

And to return to your breath whenever you move away from the feeling of stillness,

Of quiet,

Of calm.

Let it be your practice to simply notice where your attention is.

Let it be your choice to hold attention onto your breathing,

To the one experience that you are having in stillness.

Let this be how you witness both stillness and calm,

Motion and flow,

Joy and peace.

Let this be how you witness both stillness and calm,

Motion and flow,

Joy and peace.

Let this be how you witness both stillness and calm,

Motion and flow,

Joy and peace.

I'm updating a 12/04/18 review of 5 stars on 03/15/19, because I found that I've returned to this meditation over and over.. this meditation created a mantra that I often use, simply saying "in the stillness of my mind" has helped many times since this meditation found me.. thank you for creating!
