Meditation is my hope. It is my anchor. It is my resilience. It is my self-care, my strength, my courage, my gratitude, my knowing, my insight.

Grammarz. Com describes the definition of to hit a brick wall is to encounter an obstacle or some type of hindrance that stops your progress or altogether ends your endeavor. A brick wall in this instance is something that is impossible to surmount. I don't believe this situation is insurmountable so I keep going. There's a quote from Glennon Doyle and it says, Keep going. That's all you ever have to do. You really don't have to be amazing or fierce or beautiful or successful or good. Just keep going, Please. Slowly is fine. Crawling is fine. No feeling is final except hope. Meditation is my hope. It is my anchor. It is my resilience. It is my self-care, My strength, My courage, My gratitude, My knowing, And my insight. So I am grateful for the subtle whispers of insight and my not so subtle brick walls that are my reminder to keep going. And to keep coming back to meditation time and time again. I will now take you through a guided meditation. At the end of the meditation, You'll hear a soft bell. It is important to come out of the meditation slowly and to take your time. There's no rush. I will be here guiding you through the entire process. The theme of this meditation is gratitude for the whispers of insight, Which can sometimes be not so subtle brick walls. Let us be resilient in mind, Body, And spirit. Mindfulness is about engaging your attention in the present moment on what you are experiencing without judgment. Let us center our attention and bring awareness to the present moment. Let us begin this meditation with mindful resilience as you become mindful of your body, Mindful of your environment, And as you maintain a gentle present moment focus. Start by finding a comfortable position and let us settle into our breath. Placing your feet flat on the ground with your hands resting comfortably in your lap. Or if you're sitting on a cushion, Find a comfortable position with your hands resting comfortably in your lap. Closing your eyes if you prefer and become present and relaxed in this moment. Take five conscious deep breaths as your body begins to settle into the meditation. Observe the sensations of the body and notice what you are thinking. As you become more relaxed, Notice the chatter of your mind starting to quiet. When your mind wanders, Come back to your breath in this present moment. Being mindful of anything getting in your way and let it go on the next exhale breath. Release any tension you notice. Letting go of anything that might be getting in the way of you being here in this present moment. Remembering it's okay to have thoughts and when a thought occurs simply notice the thought without judgment and let it go on the next exhale breath. Exploring the sensations in your body mindfully with resilience and without judgment. Mindfully engaging your attention in the present moment on what you are experiencing without judgment. For this meditation let us welcome everything and simply let go of any expectations. At any point during the meditation if your mind starts to wander, Simply come back to your breath as an anchor of focus. Remembering to be kind to yourself. Breathe into your whispers of insight. Breathe into your brick walls. Notice where you feel the whispers in your body. Do not look for an answer, Simply be present with your insight.
