Transcript

Find a comfortable seat and arrive.

Inhale and a long exhale.

You are here.

Welcome to your breath.

Welcome home.

Today's mudra we'll be using is a dhyani mudra.

Simply place your left hand with your palm facing up in your lap.

Then your right hand can layer on top and let your thumbs connect.

This mudra in its simplicity just allows us to observe just our breath.

Connection of thumbs is often symbolic of grounding.

Also symbolic of a bowl and it is said that we can fill this up with our intention and fill this bowl up with our breath so we are filled with new energy.

Relax your arms,

Your hands,

Your chest,

Your heart and your mind.

Take a deep inhale breath and relax as much as you can on your exhale.

Allow your mind to slow,

Just to sit in this moment in your relaxed attention and just be.

Nothing to do.

Nowhere to go.

You are right here.

Find within yourself a vast and spacious awareness like the ocean.

Allow things to come into your awareness like the waves crashing,

Thoughts,

My voice,

Sounds.

They come and they go but they don't change the ocean.

Sit in this vast,

Calm depth of your breath.

Resting in full awareness of your breath.

Everything else comes and goes.

Your breath is constant and steady.

There is no control or force.

Gently breathing in and gently breathing out.

This clarity is where you are resting.

Resting in awareness.

Ram Dass says awareness is a little like a flashlight.

It shines on this and that but it doesn't shine on itself.

Pure awareness.

Resting in and breathing out.

Your thoughts,

Noises,

Feelings and sensations.

They come and they go.

But you continue to breathe deep using your exhales like you would the waves of the ocean.

And gently sighing out and letting go.

Returning to that vast stillness within you,

This space that is always here.

You might even hear your breath in the back of your mind.

Resting in and breathing out.

Rest your mind.

Rest in this moment.

For your last few breaths you might like to bring in an internal mantra.

Breathing in and say here in your mind.

And breathing out say now.

Here and now.

Exhale and exhale.

Alb vines,

You

I have quite a busy day ahead, full of choices that require pragmatism, thoughtfulness, and my full attention. grateful for meditation; for the opportunity to make the first pragmatic, thoughtful, and compassionate choice of my day about my self and all its iterations both physical and spiritual. 😌🙏🏾

This was a perfect way to start my day but I'd want it to be twice as long with no more guidance, just much more silence between instruction.
