Welcome to this 15-minute meditation session designed to help you explore the profound wisdom in the text you've provided.
Find a comfortable and quiet place to sit or lie down,
And let's begin.
Close your eyes gently and take a moment to settle into the present moment.
Feel the weight of your body,
The support beneath you,
And the space around you.
Allow any thoughts or distractions to gently drift away as you bring your focus to your breath.
As you inhale,
Notice the coolness of the air entering your nostrils,
And as you exhale,
Feel the warmth of the air leaving your body.
Let your breath flow naturally,
Without any effort,
Like a gentle wave.
Inhale and exhale.

Let your breath flow naturally,
Without any effort,
Like a gentle wave.
Inhale and exhale.
Now let's explore the wisdom shared in these words.
It is the same,
But with a slight difference.
The emphasis is now,
Not on the gap,
But on the turning.
Reflect on the idea that even the smallest shifts in perspective can lead to profound changes in our experience.
Embrace the beauty of these subtle shifts as you continue to breathe.
Imagine your breath as a circle,
A continuous cycle of life.
As you inhale,
Visualize the breath moving from down to up,
Forming one half of the circle,
And as you exhale,
See the breath curve from up to down,
Completing the circle.
Feel the natural rhythm of this cycle within you,
A reminder of the unity of all things.
Inhale and exhale.
Consider the analogy of parallel lines.
The text reminds us that our breath is not two parallel lines,
Breath going in,
And breath going out.
Rather,
They create a circle of life.
Inhale,
Feeling the breath going in,
And exhale,
Sensing the breath going out,
Forming a seamless circle.

And exhale,

As you breathe,
Acknowledge the unity in each breath cycle.
With each inhale and exhale,
Be aware of the turning points.
These are the moments of transition,
Where the incoming breath becomes outgoing.
Imagine these turning points as gateways to a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you.
Inhale and exhale.
Shift your focus to the unity of the breath,
The breath coming in and the breath going out.
They are not two separate breaths,
But one continuous flow.
Feel the connection between each breath cycle,
The harmony of your being.
Inhale and exhale.
Now let's delve deeper into the concept of the neutral gear.
Imagine the turning point between gears in a car,
Where a shift occurs.
Similarly,
As your breath turns,
It passes through a neutral territory,
A space of pure existence.
As you breathe,
Visualize this neutral gear,
A moment of stillness and presence.
Embrace this neutral gear,
Where you are neither body nor mind.
Imagine yourself as an observer,
Simply being,
Without any attachments or labels.
Breathe in this state of existence,
Where you are free from the demands of the world.
Inhale and exhale.
Without any attachments or labels,
Breathe in this state of existence,
Where you are free from the demands of the world.
Inhale and exhale.
As we near the end of this meditation,
Reflect on the moments of change in your life.
Just as gears shift,
Moments of transition are inevitable.
Remember that in each turning point,
There is an opportunity for realization and growth.
Embrace change as a pathway to self-awareness.
Take a few moments to breathe,
And observe the turning points of your breath.
As thoughts arise,
Let them gently pass by,
Like leaves on a stream.
Bring your focus back to your breath,
And the wisdom it holds.
Now as we conclude,
Gradually bring your awareness back to the present moment.
Gently wiggle your fingers and toes,
Awakening your body.
When you're ready,
Open your eyes with a sense of calm and clarity.
Carry this awareness of the turning points with you throughout your day.
Remember that through the simple act of observing your breath and its turning points,
You can find moments of profound realization and inner peace.
Thank you for joining me in this meditation.
May you move forward with a renewed sense of presence,
And a deeper connection to yourself and the world around you.
