Hello and welcome to this music as medicine meditation,
My name is Beth and I'll be your guide This practice is all about remembering who you truly are If you enjoy it,
Please consider following my profile and leaving a review for others Sometimes we think there are things that we need to fix about ourselves in order to remember or that we need to earn our way to enlightenment,
But there's no need to become what you already are.
We simply have to lift the veil that impedes our seeing.
Remembering is about three things,
The first being the return to your natural state,
Free from the divided mind that would separate you from truth.
The second is to enter a state of non-doing because as I've already said there's nothing you need to do to be who you are,
Rather simply relax into the self.
And the third part is to recognize that you were never separate to begin with.
You were never broken,
Never flawed,
Never what others told you you were and not even what you told yourself.
Today's song is called Remember.
We'll be practicing a mudra known as the lotus mudra.
With your hands facing you,
Bring together the edges of the pinkies and then fold the hands so the edges of the thumbs can also touch.
With a hollow center,
The fingers extending upwards as in the petals of a lotus flower.
If your arms get tired during the practice,
You can rest them at any time.
So please make yourself comfortably seated and place your hands in the mudra and allow a deep cleansing breath in through the nose,
Out through the mouth,
Releasing any tension and just allowing the body to relax and soften.
I'll start the music shortly.
If this is the first time or even the second or third that you've heard the song,
Of course,
You'll be unfamiliar with it.
But if you practice more frequently and get to know the song,
You're welcome to sing along,
Even if it's only a whisper.
At the end of the song,
We'll enter into a short period of silence together.
And I'll come back to talk to you briefly at the very end.
At this time,
You're now welcome to release your hands or crisscross them over your heart if you prefer.
Simply breathe.
Mind empty and calm.
Your whole being at peace and abiding in that remembrance of your true nature.
Thank you for practicing with me today.
That ends this meditation.
