Transcript
Welcome to this concise,
Grounding meditation.
It has been designed to offer you maximum relaxation,
Alertness,
And presence when you don't have much spare time or just feel like checking in with the present moment.
Find a comfortable position for this meditation.
Maintain a comfortable,
Straight back.
Then gently close your eyes and mouth.
I'd like to start with a quote from Eckhart Tolle.
If your mind carries a heavy burden of past,
You will experience more of the same.
The past perpetuates itself through lack of presence.
The quality of your consciousness at this moment is what shapes the future.
Check in with the body,
Whether you're standing,
Sitting,
Or lying down.
Your breath is relaxed and natural,
And you're just noticing how the body is in this present moment.
Allow your awareness to gather around your body.
Notice any physical sensations that can arise.
Lightness,
Heaviness,
Movement,
Contact,
Pressure,
Restfulness,
And restlessness.
Temperature,
Moisture,
Buzzing or tingling.
Without trying to change anything,
Just observe your body.
With one hand on your chest and the other on your belly,
Take a deep breath in.
You want the hand on the belly to rise higher than the one on the chest.
Notice movement in the belly as you breathe in and out.
When you breathe in,
You can make a mental note of love.
When you breathe out,
You can make a mental note of release.
If you find yourself distracted by the inner or external worlds,
Just gently place your attention back on the breath.
When you breathe in,
You can make a mental note of release.
You're in a state of relaxation and openness.
You're in a state of being receptive again.
Here you can receive the natural benefits of simply being alive and conscious.
When you breathe in,
You can make a mental note of release.
Try to allow a smile to grace your beautiful face.
Be genuine and honest with it.
You may feel like smiling for just being here and taking the time to be present.
You may feel like smiling because it feels good to smile.
It opens our hearts,
Minds,
And the senses when we smile.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Breathe in love.
Breathe out tension.
Breathe in love.
Breathe out tension.
Breathe out tension.
Breathe out tension.
Your awareness is expanding.
The present moment is expanding.
You're becoming more receptive to the basic goodness of life.
You're becoming more and more untangled and less and less caught up in anything.
You're simply being right here,
Right now.
Everything that you perceive is within your ability to be present.
The more your presence expands,
The more comfort you have to greet all that life offers.
To be intensely present is a relaxing and opening sensation,
Not one of constriction or force.
With time and energy,
This practice will improve presence of mind,
Body,
And soul.
There are no ordinary moments.
Every moment is a chance to be extraordinary.
Every moment in your life is a golden opportunity to enjoy being a part of the wonderful and miraculous thing happening all around you that we call life.
Gently open your eyes,
Adjusting and welcoming your awareness to the external world again.
And as you move into the rest of the day or night,
Notice if you can instill any of this open,
Alert,
And relaxed presence into other moments.
Namaste.

I AM feeling many pains but I did accept my stresses & tensions which I felt before & during practising this beautiful and immensely potent meditation. I listened to the gentle and golden voice of Elliott's taking me to a beautiful state in my open-awareness which I needed so much! I felt grounded and with every inhaling loving breath I sobbed and with every exhaling breath I hummed OM to release my pains away 😞! I continued to listen and follow the commentary and as I cried & tried to smile as well as my heart needed me to love and enjoy my life in every present moment that I breathe each day!! A very powerful experience that has helped me to love my life much more and must smile as it is the source of my inner joy 😊. No matter how painful it might feel, I must learn to let go and surrender those dark past & present emotions which are trying to block my journey’s path. I feel blessed listening and healing myself through your beautifully paced and peaceful space that I find my BE-ing in every time, I practise Elliott’s deep meditations! My tears of sufferings have allowed me to get rid of some of my toxins hibernating within! I feel calmer after I released some of my immense pains just before the meditation ended! What an extraordinary 15 mins I have spent Elliott, despite weeping almost all the way through! I feel good about it as it needed to come out to create fresh energetic space for my path to light up so that I can see where my lovingly and spiritually steps are forwardly moving towards my innermost core and to lead me to my most sacred & divne ‘calling’ 🤍💬🕊️🕉️🙏🏻✨. Elliott thank you for your miraculous spiritually work which you create for us - Without your spiritual work and guidance, I feel that I AM that lost sheep hiding somewhere in the meadows where my heart & soul reside. Much love ❣️💫🕉️ ⚡ 🤎 🙏🏻💫🌻❤️🔥🥰 🙏🏻🦁.
