An Invocation To Focus & Remove Distraction

This is a traditional Taoist invocation, which simply means we're connecting to your intuition and asking it to clear away anything that's holding you back from optimum energy and productivity.

Here are the words to repeat: "Remove distraction from the ears and eyes to keep my energy full, my spirit whole. Keep the mind from wandering; the subtle body is like nature and heaven, it receives all and holds nothing."

Beautiful, right? Repeat as needed throughout your day.

Hello friends,

This is Morgan with Splendid Yoga.

Today's meditation is drawn from the Taoist tradition.

It's an invocation.

Prepare your body for meditation by adjusting your posture.

Let your spine be long like a river.

Allow your energy to flow without blockage by relaxing your body.

You may rest your hands in your lap or you may clasp your hands with the right hand on the outside if you're feeling the feminine energy or with the left hand on the outside if you're feeling more masculine.

Holding on to your thumb,

Flip your tongue so that the tip of your tongue presses to the upper palate of your mouth just behind your two front teeth.

Breathe naturally through your nose.

Breathe long,

Deep,

Unhurried breath into your feet,

Hands,

And entire being as you inhale.

As you exhale,

Let go of stress completely.

Allow your thoughts to come and go without resistance.

Practice focusing your mind on the practice of breathing.

If your mind wanders,

Gently bring your focus back to your body and the sensation of breathing.

Close your eyes or lower your gaze.

Bring your awareness into your lower dan tien,

Around your belly button area.

Notice what you feel.

Bring your awareness to your middle dan tien,

Around your heart and your lungs,

And notice what you feel.

Bring your awareness to your upper dan tien,

In your skull.

Notice what you feel.

From the point between your eyebrows,

Focus and see the light of the North Star.

Visualize a bridge of light beaming from the North Star to your third eye,

Into your crystal palace of your mind's experience.

Allow the benevolence of the bright white light to enter through your third eye.

Allow this starlight to bathe your upper dan tien.

Travel down to your middle dan tien,

To your lower dan tien,

And your entire being.

Feel the oneness,

The connectedness to the source of spiritual essence.

This is the invocation for the divine nature of wholeness.

You can repeat it after me.

Remove distraction from the ears and eyes.

Keep my energy full,

My spirit whole.

Keep my mind from wandering.

The subtle body is like nature and heaven.

It receives all and holds nothing.

Namaste.

That was ahhhhmazing ✨ just what I needed to focus on my goals! A thousand thanks.

Beautiful and unique meditation! Also loved the soft, lilting background music

Amazing !!!

Loved it

This have really been helpful thank you

Beautiful meditation to begin my day! I needed this today and I will definitely come back to this again. Thank you!

Gentle. For the brevity it is still very relaxed yet thorough and has the effect of a much longer meditation. Proper music and soothing voice...the guidance is well thought and chosen.

Lovely! Thank you! 💕
