Sounds Are All Around

Welcome to this Calm Your Mind,

Open Your Heart meditation.

I'm Victoria and for the next minute we'll simply focus on bringing awareness to sounds.

Any voice,

Any cars passing by,

Any voices in the background,

Perhaps footsteps,

Doors slamming,

People coughing or talking,

The sound of your own breath,

Perhaps the hum of the electricity,

Just being present to whatever sounds have arisen,

Noticing them as they come and as they go,

As they get louder and softer,

Knowing that this is the essence of life.

Everything is impermanent.

It comes and it goes.

It's always changing.

So as you go throughout this day,

Bring your mind back to sounds,

Anchoring in the present moment and simply remembering that every moment is a new moment.
