Mindful Check-In

Take a few minutes out of your day and check in to the inner landscape.

Transcript

So welcome to the mindfulness check-in guided meditation.

Begin by taking a posture that is both relaxed and alert.

Either sitting in a chair on the floor lying down.

Whatever works best for you.

Settling in.

Just taking a few moments and reviewing your day.

How's this day going?

Feeling the body sitting.

Seeing if we can just allow the past to be in the past.

As we aim our attention to the present time,

Breath,

Body awareness.

Breathing in.

Know that you're breathing in.

Breathing out.

Know that you're breathing out.

Relaxing into each new breath.

Observing what arises in the heart and the mind.

And allowing whatever arises to stay for a time and pass away.

As all things do.

Relax.

Observe.

And allow each breath,

Each moment.

Of course the mind will wander off.

It's not a problem.

It's just what minds do.

Think.

Plan.

Remember.

Recognizing when the attention wanders off.

And with a sense of friendliness or kindness with the mind aiming the attention back.

Present time.

This sitting breathing body.

Again and again.

Aiming the attention here.

Now.

And sustaining that attention for as long as possible.

Recognizing the thoughts and feelings move through our experience.

Pausing throughout the day.

Allowing the sound of the bell to ring through you.

Leaving you feeling relaxed and alert.

Reviews

Perfect afternoon pause.

Not a whole lot of guiding but I sure felt relaxed afterwards.

Perfect. Thank you 🙏

The silence is so powerful!

Perfect pace with ample silence and just the right amount of cuing to keep me focused. Thanks so much!

Excellent meditation, allowing plenty of space to be with yourself.

I love Jason’s voice, his familiar—like a friend—delivery, and most of all, I like all the long pauses. So many guided meditations have the guide talking the whole time. I appreciate the silence here. Thank you, Jason!

Well laced and easy to follow. A lovely brief check-in practice! Thanks!

Love the silences and how the spoken word enhances rather than intrudes on this meditation

Always wonderful! Thank you.

Lovely pick-me-up in the middle of the day.

Love the minimal instruction and lots of silence.🙏

Jason has always been a great meditation teacher and I'm blessed to have experienced the silent spaces wtih him again.

Simple, easy, lovely long spaces. Namaste.

Nice, very relaxing focus in the breath

Very happy to have a new meditation from Jason. I listened to his other meditations when I started insight timer in 2015.

Clear and direct. Refreshing.

Nice balance of silence and guidance.

Simple. Plenty of spaces. Very nice.
