Experiencing The Present Moment

In this meditation practice, we explore the present moment using sight, sound, smell, and sensation. Allowing ourselves to be completely immersed in the present moment, as we practice letting go of judgement. Simply being in the place we are, wherever we are.

Transcript

In this meditation we will be experiencing this present moment with our different senses.

Let's remember we are only noticing what is happening around us and letting go of any judgments that come with the experience.

Finding a comfortable position,

Taking a deep breath in and out and starting with sight.

Taking in our surroundings,

Noticing objects sitting next to us and paying attention to how those objects look.

Taking the time to see colors,

Shadows,

Textures we've not noticed on these objects before.

And then closing our eyes or bringing our sight to a single focal point.

Focusing next on any noises that we hear in this present moment.

Maybe we can hear the heater or air conditioning running.

Maybe we can hear wind or the sound of nature.

Taking in all the different sounds happening in this present moment.

And then noticing each scent that we can pick up in this present moment.

Noticing the smell of the room we are in or the building we are in.

Maybe picking up on the scent of ourselves.

And then allowing ourselves to feel any sensations we can in this present moment.

Do we feel warm or cold?

Also noticing the clothes against our skin.

Feeling each muscle in our body relaxing.

And then bringing our attention from using our senses to experience what is happening outwardly toward noticing what is happening internally as we listen and feel for our own breath.

Inhaling and exhaling.

Slowly opening our eyes.

Taking another breath in and out.

Feeling refreshed and ready for the rest of our day.
