Welcome to this Sacred Space Meditation.
Today we are going to look at how you can shape your meditation around your needs for this day.
We are going to start by developing a routine to help your meditation practice.
Firstly,
Pay attention to the space you are meditating in.
You can pause this recording if you need any time to create this space.
We expect to see that your phone is off and let anyone that you live or work with know that you will need some privacy for this session.
But remember that sand is fine.
We never need silence to meditate.
Sand can simply be another focus for our attention.
This is also a good time to think about your comfort.
You can sit,
Stand or lay down,
Whatever suits you in this moment.
Again remember that you can pause this recording if you need to make any adjustments.
Take the time that you need.
Now that your space is prepared,
It's time to attend to your inner needs.
Invite any sensations,
Emotions or thoughts to come forward.
No need to judge them.
Just embrace and care for these aspects of yourself.
What do you notice about yourself?
Perhaps some tiredness or maybe you feel energised.
You may feel focused or maybe distracted.
You might even notice a tingling on parts of your skin.
Treat this as a moment to simply be as you are.
As you are doing this,
You may notice that you naturally want to soften your gaze or close your eyes.
Make no judgements.
Just accept how you feel in this moment and give yourself the break you deserve.
Approach this moment by welcoming all that you feel.
As you're observing how you are in this moment,
You may feel the call to meditate.
You may feel yourself surrendering as you desire to rest and renew yourself.
There is no point in trying to rush this moment.
Simply be with yourself and care for yourself.
You may notice a slight distancing from your sensations.
This is you observing yourself.
You don't need to do anything special.
Just be with yourself and continue to be aware of your bodily sensations.
After observing your thoughts and feelings,
You may still feel a sense of urgency with any tasks of your day.
You may notice a craving or a desire.
Notice that these feelings will rise and fall in intensity like waves at the beach.
Observe the pace of your inner world and take a conscious,
Deeper breath.
Observe how changing your breath can affect the pace of your inner world.
It is okay for meditation to move with the ebb and flow of these thoughts.
Allow them to move naturally without holding onto them.
For the next 10 minutes,
Focus your attention on your breath and how the body moves with each inhale and exhale.
Notice the movement of your body as you breathe.
Observe your chest,
Shoulders,
Ribcage and belly.
Simply focus your attention on your breath without controlling its pace.
Your mind will wander because that's what the mind does.
Allow it to,
But return your focus back to your breath.
