Welcome to Making Meditation Mainstream,
10-Minute Meditation.
My name is Carrie.
The theme for today is Oneness.
One of the greatest misunderstandings of society is that we are somehow separate from each other and from the universe.
That we are in some way on our own,
Alone.
The truth is we are all one.
If you take a moment to notice the coincidences in your life of where things come together,
Unexpectedly or unrelatedly,
You begin to realize that everything is linked together as a whole.
Oneness evokes an internal sense of peace and harmony.
A deep love and connection to all that is.
To all living things,
The earth,
Its people,
The animals and the plants.
When we connect to the eternal boundless,
Timeless aspect of ourselves,
Our true nature and the web of life,
We get a sense of completion,
Of integration and of being at ease.
A sense of oneness.
Now get yourself settled as we begin the meditation sequence.
Taking a moment now to just settle and relax.
Close your eyes.
Together let's take three breaths.
On each exhale,
Allow yourself to relax more and more.
Letting yourself into the present moment.
Allow the past to be the past and the future to be the future.
You are safe in this moment right now.
Place your attention on the top of your head and allow a deep sense of relaxation to cascade slowly down your face.
Feel your eyes become heavy.
Relax your jaw.
In your mouth and allow your tongue to sit comfortably in your mouth.
Allow your shoulders to drop away from your ears.
Completely relaxing your arms.
Release your stomach and feel your legs and feet become completely relaxed.
Now place your focus and awareness upon your breath,
Watching the inhale and the exhale of the breath.
Witnessing the rise and the fall of the chest.
And should you have thoughts or distractions,
Just acknowledge them.
Allow them to drift slowly away and calmly return your attention back to the rise and the fall of your breath.
Letting yourself into the present moment.
Letting yourself into the present moment.
Letting yourself into the present moment.
Letting yourself into the present moment.
Letting yourself into the present moment.
Letting yourself into the present moment.
Letting yourself into the present moment.
Letting yourself into the present moment.
Letting yourself into the present moment.
Letting yourself into the present moment.
Letting yourself into the present moment.
Letting yourself into the present moment.
Letting yourself into the present moment.
And take a moment now to contemplate the theme for today.
Thank you for joining Making Meditation Mainstream.
