6 Minute Settling Body Speech And Mind

In this guided 6-minute meditation session, we allow our body, speech, and mind to settle into their natural states. Inspired by the teachings of B. Alan Wallace, in this practice, we first allow our body to relax and release any tension we might be holding. Next, we allow our internal dialogue to quieten and fall into a natural state of silence. Finally, we allow the mind to settle into its natural unconfigured state of peace, luminosity, and non-conceptuality.

A perfect practice to begin a longer meditation session or before any task requiring focus and concentration.

Transcript

In this six minute session,

We will focus on settling our body,

Speech and mind into their natural state,

Their natural state being a relaxed,

Peaceful and calm state.

Let me begin with our body,

Bringing our attention to the sensations in our body and releasing any tension in the body with each exhalation,

Allowing our body to become calmer and more relaxed,

Falling back into a natural,

Just letting the body be as it is in this present moment,

Letting go.

Next we turn our attention to the speech,

Not our verbal speech but the speech within our mind,

The voice in our mind,

Letting that voice relax and fall silently back into a natural state,

Letting go of any commentary about how your practice is going,

What you should or should not be doing and just letting that voice recede into peaceful silence and finally we bring our attention to our mind and we look for any processes,

Thoughts about the past,

The future,

Memories,

Images,

Feelings,

The mind through which we experience our entire life and we allow that to fall silent,

Knowing there will be time for planning,

Thoughts and actions but not right now,

Now is a time to allow the mind to relax into peaceful silence and opening.
