This Is Me: Energies In Motion (Check In)

This is a meditation focused on our shared journey of self-awareness and grounding. It invites us to consciously choose this moment, tuning into the sensations of the natural flow of our breath. By noticing these gentle sensations, the meditation nurtures a sense of alignment and groundedness within us. Each breath becomes a quiet, nurturing gesture of self-care—a way to connect deeply with ourselves beyond words. Finally, we are guided to allow each breath to serve as a soft, caring declaration of self-nurturing.

This is me, Choosing to be here now. I choose to be here, Right now. It's good for me to tune into myself, To give myself this gentle recognition, Right here and now. To choose myself in this moment. This is me, Here I am. This is me, Gently noticing all of these sensations of how I am holding my body in this moment. All these sensations that open up and give me this experience of this me, Here, Now. This is me, Noticing the activity of my mind. Hello mind, Are you busy, Not so busy, Or somewhere in between? I choose to notice. Noticing how my thoughts present themselves. Is my mind showing me things in pictures, Telling me things in words, Or a bit of both? Here I am, Simply noticing, Pictures, Words, Or a bit of both. Bringing attention down, Neck down, Below the level of thought, Allowing sensations within and upon my body to open up to me. This is me, Noticing the gentle downward pull from the flow of gravity. And the more I experience this, The more grounded I become. The more I feel the downward pull, The more aligned, Rational and grounded I become. I choose to recognize that I don't need to feel anything in particular, But as I take attention to the space where I usually do experience feelings and emotions, I can simply bring soft, Curious awareness to this place. This is me, Noticing what it's like to open up and see what may be there. Maybe a subtle feeling of this, Or a significant feeling of that. This is me, Gently noticing energies in motion. And whether pleasant, Not so pleasant, Or neutral, I know whatever is there is part of a normal human experience. As I am here in this moment, Listening to these words, Being a little more intimate with myself. Noticing my mind. Noticing my body. Every breath my body breathes. Every second that I connect to my breath is a moment of me taking care of myself. Every single moment of connection to the breath is a non-verbal declaration to myself for my self-care. I love the softness of my breath because it nurtures me. I love the fact that this is a non-verbal declaration to myself and for my self-care. It doesn't matter what my mind says or how it distracts me. This breath is all that matters. And every second I connect to it, It is a gift to me and from me. In breath, Out breath. This is me, Here I am.

Lovely. This has left me feeling very grounded this morning.
For fun I am going to enclose my new version of Buddy Holly’s song:

Energies in motion
Feel them gentle sway
A wave out on the ocean
Could never move that way
I love every movement
There's nothing I would change
He doesn't need improvement
He’s much too nice to rearrange

Thank you, as always Reuben. No rearranging you😂

Reuben, Your meditations never disappoint! Your voice is so calming. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your content. You are a huge part of my Recovery Journey!

I listened to Here Is My Anchor just now and then saw this! I felt it was meant for me as I listened and became more and more grounded, more and more aware of my breathing. I felt comforted and reassured as I noticed my thoughts come and go. My mind didn’t bother me anymore. It was gently hold me in a space of joy and peace. Thank you as always Reuben for everything ❤️💕.
