Centering Yourself on Your Timeline

Shepherding your awareness gently forward from the past; ushering your awareness lovingly back from the future: centering yourself in the space you are in, in the time you inhabit right now.

Transcript

So taking a moment to make yourself comfortable in the space that you're in right now.

Making sure that your body feels well supported,

Your back,

Your buttocks,

Your thighs,

Your arms.

If you feel that your torso is a little bit bent or a bit crumpled then maybe taking a moment to sit up a little bit straighter in your seat.

We're not sitting bolt upright.

We're just making sure that our torso has some space.

We have space to breathe,

Space for our belly,

Space for our back.

And taking a few deep breaths.

Giving yourself a moment to arrive,

To arrive at this time,

At this place.

If your mind is busy thinking about the time or the place you were in five minutes ago,

Bringing your awareness forward to now and here.

You might even see your thoughts on a timeline.

If they're behind you,

Very gently shepherding them forward to the present moment.

If they're ahead of you thinking about the future or planning,

Once again very gently ushering them back here to the present moment.

Whenever your mind moves out,

In the way that you might very kindly and gently usher or copy a child,

A kitten back to where they need to be.

Very gently ushering your awareness back inward,

Back to the present moment,

Back to this place that you're in right now.

And as we start to move towards the completion of this little landing meditation,

Bringing your awareness to your breathing,

Then expanding your awareness out,

Upward to your body as a whole,

Getting in touch with the physicality of your body,

Starting to move your hands,

Your wrists,

Your feet,

Your ankles,

Your shoulders,

Your head.

When you're ready,

Gently opening your eyes,

Maybe taking a look around the space that you're in,

Orient yourself to the space you're in,

Bring a stretch,

A sip of your drink.
