Welcome.
Welcome to meditation.
Before we start,
I'd like you to let go of any idea you have about meditation.
Let's just make it into a few moments spent with yourself.
No technique,
No expectations,
No goals,
Nothing to achieve.
Just you,
Your body,
Your breathing,
Your internal landscape.
Feel good.
And slowly move your attention from the process of thinking and into the process of the breath.
Gentle,
Smooth inhalations and exhalations,
Letting yourself be swayed in with the inhale,
Out with the exhale.
Moving your mind's eye into that process,
Following that internal movement,
That process that began on the first day,
On the day you were born.
When you took your first breath,
When your life started.
Move your attention into that process,
Into that connection.
As your mind settles into it,
Let everything else unfold.
Notice where you're going internally.
How am I actually feeling in the moment?
Where am I mentally?
Where am I emotionally?
And pay close attention to what's happening and see how the emotions change,
How the thoughts connect to one,
To one another.
Notice in the patterns of your thoughts,
The patterns of your emotions.
Being slowly aware of yourself,
Of your internal workings.
It's like you're waking up.
Waking up to that internal world within yourself.
Feeling that there is a you behind the physical and even behind the mental and behind the emotional.
There's that presence within all of it.
The one that can see and feel,
The one that experiences all of that.
There is power in that.
There is power in awareness.
You're not filtering the present moment to your past experiences.
You can see clearly the beliefs that you've created about yourself and your life.
You see the thought patterns.
You see the emotional triggers.
The most interesting thing,
You don't have to do anything about them,
Just simply become aware.
Awareness brings clarity and clarity brings freedom.
The more you spend time with yourself just doing nothing,
The moment you stop,
The moment you sit down,
The moment you close your eyes and become aware of what's happening on the inside.
This is the moment your life will change.
This is the moment you will start building that intimate connection to yourself.
We think we know ourselves.
Once we start this process,
We find out that there is so much more.
That there are so many treasures and talents and beauty on the inside.
The beauty of the heart,
The seed,
The spectrum of the emotions that we can feel,
The power,
The clarity,
The focus and concentration of the mind that can guide that emotion,
That energy into creative process of bringing those visions,
Aspirations that we have on the inside into this physical world,
Into this physical reality.
You start to know exactly what you want and how you want it.
There is a process of uncovering,
Unraveling that which has always been there.
Can you feel the edge of your transformation?
Just a few moments,
Just a few steps away from you.
I'd like to tell you that it will always be like that,
The moment will always be receding from you.
There will always be a place where you are right now and the place of where you are going.
There will always be that gap that you will move into closing.
That is the process of your transformation,
The process of your growth,
The process of your expansion as a human being.
Just noticing,
Just breathing,
Just feeling,
Just thinking,
Allowing yourself to connect to all of that in a true,
Open,
Honest way,
Without trying to escape any corners of your being,
The places that hurt,
The places that are uncomfortable,
The places that you don't want to reveal to anyone and maybe even to yourself.
These are the exact places you would want to go to,
To reclaim yourself,
To find yourself,
To become whole,
To bring the fragments of yourself into one,
Into one single,
Crystallized presence,
Merging the internal and the external,
Finding yourself within,
Coming back to your power,
Coming back to the clarity of your mind and coming back to your heart,
Coming back to the presence of love in your life,
To the sense of connection,
Declaring a vision for your life and intention,
Becoming a being that is moving towards something,
Towards something greater than himself,
Everyday letting go of the limitations,
Of the beliefs that no longer serve us,
And finding that place of spontaneity,
Of freedom,
Of joyful expression,
Of self-doubt,
Of self-doubt,
Of self-reliance,
Of self-doubt,
Of self-seeking,
Of self-reliance,
You have the courage to step forward.
Can you move forward without knowing,
Just by the simple power of declaring the vision that you have,
Without evidence,
Without anyone's approval,
Just you,
Your intention,
Your focus,
Your desire,
Your emotions,
Your whole being moving towards it,
Nothing can stand in its way,
Become that luminary,
Just like the sun burning bright,
Illuminating,
Loving unconditionally,
Whatever you call yourself.
You
