Reflective Meditation - Inspiration and Suffocation

Reflective Meditation 'guided meditations' offer a short dharma or meditation prompt along with a silent sitting, and time to reflect upon your experience in the meditation sitting with a few questions afterwards. The silent sitting starts and ends with a bell. This orientation encourages medtiators to be come more aware of their actual experience when meditating, and to become more self-honest, reflective, and mindful.

I love these. Wish you would do more!!!

Wow! 😮 I really enjoyed this practice. This may be the longest I’ve sat in silence in a meditation 🧘🏽‍♀️ practice. I found it divine- blissful - & interesting to watch my mind. It was peaceful. I did have thoughts of course. Is it ok to “talk to yourself” during a meditation ( ie - tell yourself to pay attention to your breath - tell yourself sit & know that you’re sitting - or it’s ok, that’s just a thought, you don’t have to follow it- ) I do find this self talk helpful( I’m not saying them out loud, but in my head) — there are just useful nuggets I’ve picked up along the way while listening to so many guided meditations. I’ve always wondered if this was more of my monkey mind? Or just me self guiding!? Your thoughts on this would be very much appreciated. 🙏🏽

Thank you so much - this is a really helpful meditation with the intro and the end / makes the meditation so "nourishing"

Linda, I played the meditation a second time and it played completely. The introduction was thought provoking for me. I like the style of introduction followed by silence. Today meditation for me was more difficult—had a “monkey mind.” Thanks 🙏
