Please sit and allow yourself to become very relaxed.
Allow your breathing to become steady and natural.
Fall into stillness.
Common challenges that meditators face is the tendency to become lost in thought.
We sit in meditation,
Relax,
And suddenly we find ourselves lost in a thought.
We've been so focused on a particular thought that we forgot everything else,
Including the fact that we're meditating.
At that point,
We scramble back.
We remind ourselves what we're doing.
We repeat the meditation instructions and we start again.
Soon we find that we've gotten lost in thought yet again.
And again we return to the meditation.
And then again,
And then again.
What we often fail to recognize is that each time we realize that we've been lost in thought,
We are not lost in thought anymore.
There's nowhere to return to.
So,
For the remainder of this meditation,
Every time you find that you've been lost in thought,
Don't do anything.
There's no reason to return.
You're already back.
Just allow yourself to move freely in and out of thought.
Getting lost,
Forgetting what you're doing,
Remembering what you're doing.
Don't make a problem out of any of it.
Just watch how the mind works,
How it passes through states where it's very aware of what it's doing,
And then it passes through states where it's exclusively focused on a single thought.
None of it matters.
Just allow yourself to float freely between periods when you're very aware that you're meditating and periods when you're lost in thought.
No reason to do anything about it.
Just let it all unfold.
No reason to do anything about it.
No reason to do anything about it.
No reason to do anything about it.
No reason to do anything about it.
No reason to do anything about it.
No reason to do anything about it.
No reason to do anything about it.
No reason to do anything about it.
No reason to do anything about it.
Thank you very much.
