Transcript

Bring your body into a comfortable position.

Make any adjustments that you need to make so that you can be comfortable and relaxed.

With this meditation you can leave your eyes open if you choose to,

But you may notice that it feels more comfortable to simply let them close.

Imagine that there are four things that distract the mind the most.

They are simple thoughts,

They are feelings,

And those can be emotions or any sensations that you feel in the body,

Such as pain or an itch or any discomfort.

There are memories,

Anything from the past that might distract your mind,

And fantasies,

Anything that occurs in the future.

When any of these things arise,

Simply recognize them by the name you give them,

Which could be thought,

Feeling,

Memory or fantasy,

Or anything that is more detailed,

Such as groceries,

Sister,

Mother.

Notice the sensations that occur in your body.

Notice things that you hear if your eyes are open.

Notice things that you see and if your eyes are closed.

Notice what you see on the backs of your eyelids.

Notice any sensations that occur in the body,

Like itches and discomforts.

Notice anything that you smell or taste in your mouth right now.

Keep your attention locked onto your sensations in this moment.

And should those thoughts,

Feelings,

Memories or fantasies arise,

Which they will,

Notice them for what they are,

Give them a label,

Allow them to recede back into your mind,

And keep your attention focused on your senses.

You can choose all of your senses or pick one to focus on,

But keep your awareness glued onto the senses and stay in this moment.

And when you're ready,

Begin to bring your attention back into this time and place,

Wiggling the fingers and the toes,

Getting ready to open your eyes with a big deep breath.
