Meditative Words: My Inner Refuge (Headphones)

This meditation of Reuben’s is best with headphones. We are guided to soften and surrender to the present moment at the sound of three bells and a magical ambiance of sound-healing bowls in the background. This practice guides us to appreciate the peacefulness of the moment and how fascinating it can be. All this to foster a sense of inner softness and self-compassion for ourselves and the world.

Hello and welcome.

My name is Ruben.

Let's find that refuge within us.

A little meditation to help us settle.

Sensing around me,

My immediate surroundings,

And all is well.

Sensing around me,

My immediate surroundings,

And I am safe.

Chimes gently call out to me that I am safe.

That I am nurturing myself and that I deserve this.

I am gentle awareness.

Sensing around me as my body breathes at its own rate and rhythm.

This very moment.

Sensing around me,

Noticing what I can see behind my closed eyes.

With each out breath,

My body melts just a little more.

In breath,

Out breath.

I allow my body to soften.

Soft and softening.

In breath,

Out breath.

I allow my body to melt.

Melt and melting.

In breath,

Out breath.

Softening and melting are good for me.

They activate my alpha brainwave state and then deeper into theta.

As my body rests itself.

And my body heals itself.

Inside this conscious inner refuge that I have created.

In breath,

Out breath.
