Welcome.

This meditation is an invitation to listen.

How often during your day do you really listen?

In a moment,

I'm going to invite the bell and then I invite you to listen to the sounds around you,

To listen to the sounds of the earth,

To listen to whatever sounds may be arising,

To tune your attention towards mindfulness of sounds.

And as you do this,

Just be aware of sounds as they arise and pass away.

You may hear sounds that are always there,

But that you are only now aware that they are there.

And if no ambient sounds exist,

Just listen to the silence and notice what effect listening to silence has for you.

So bringing awareness to sounds as they arise and pass away.

You may hear sounds that are always there,

But that you are only now just hearing.

And if no ambient sounds exist,

Listen to the silence.

Notice what listening to silence does for you.

What effect does listening to silence have on you?

And what does it mean to listen?

Tuning in to the sounds of the earth,

The sounds of the sounds of the wind,

The sounds of the wind,

The sounds of the wind,

The sounds of the earth,

The sounds of wherever you are right now.

Bringing mindfulness to sounds.

So whenever you are ready,

Gently opening your eyes and knowing that in every moment you have the opportunity to really listen,

To listen to the sounds around you,

To listen to nature,

To listen to the sounds of the earth,

To listen to your loved ones,

What they have to say,

Their laughter,

And to really listen what's underneath the sounds.

I invite you to move through your day with this capacity to really listen.
