The Ocean - Go To Where Your Mind & Soul Are At Ease

Stillness like the ocean. The ocean, just like our lives, has moments of chaos and turbulence. When the storm passes, everything is calm and still. This meditation is a visual representation of that yin and yang. When we can learn to be still through the storms in our life, we can be the best version of ourselves and weather any storm. Be still like the ocean and know you ALWAYS have this space to retreat to when life gets chaotic.

Transcript

Have you ever seen the ocean?

So vast and so large,

So friendly yet so mysterious,

So rocky yet so calm.

The ocean is constant.

It never changes.

It just goes.

If storms come,

The ocean weathers the storms.

The waters get rocky.

The waves get bigger.

But after the storm is done,

The ocean returns to how it was in the first place.

If you were to fall asleep when the storm was starting and wake up when the storm had passed,

You would never be able to tell by looking at the ocean.

And this can be translated to our lives as well.

Without a doubt,

Storms will rise.

Adversity will appear.

Waves will ripple that impact all areas of our life.

But can you be like the ocean?

Can you flow like the waves?

And let the wind of trouble in your life come and go without reacting,

Without giving in.

When we ebb and flow with the ups and downs of life,

We become like ocean.

For our lives are big and vast,

Mysterious yet so familiar.

And the more that we can embody the waves of the ocean,

The more we'll ride the ups and downs.

And next time a storm arises in your life,

You can visualize the ocean.

Embody it.

And right now,

Imagine a vast area of water.

It's very calm.

But the wind starts to pick up.

Turmoil arises.

And the waves get bigger and bigger.

Envision yourself lying on the water effortlessly.

As you inhale,

The waves go up.

And as you exhale,

The waves go down.

Riding the waves like we would ride the turmoil that will surely appear in our life.

Envisioning what it would feel like to go up,

To go down.

To go from calm waters to stormy winds and lightning and thunder.

All to return to the calm.

And maybe you're in the middle of one of these storms in your life.

And if so,

That's okay.

Because when we are in the storm,

The only thing that we know for sure is that calm waters lie ahead.

So lean into it.

Follow the ebbs and flows.

And you will be safe.

And if you'd like,

Next time life seems uncertain,

Something mysterious happens.

Instead of being upset or wondering why,

View these circumstances in your life similar to those of the ocean.

And understand that there are no calm waters without stormy winds.

And no stormy winds without the presence of stillness.

Always remember,

You are the ocean.

The ocean represents your life.

Namaste.
