Sit comfortably.
Resting your eyes gently on the floor.
With a soft gaze.
Take one slow breath.
In and out.
There is nowhere else you need to be.
Only here.
Imagine a clear stream flowing gently over smooth stones.
The water is naturally transparent.
You can see all the way to the bottom.
Then a breeze passes.
The surface ripples.
The water becomes disturbed.
A few moments later,
It settles once again.
Clear,
Quiet.
Nothing has been lost.
The mind is like this.
Thoughts arise.
Memories appear.
Plans begin.
Conversations replay themselves.
The mind wanders.
This is what minds do.
Notice where your mind has gone.
Without judging it.
Without trying to stop it,
Simply notice.
Now gently bring it home.
Not with frustration,
With kindness.
Like calling a child back inside before the sun goes down.
Every mind needs a place to return to.
A place that is always true.
A place that never changes.
Today,
This is your home.
Quietly repeat within yourself.
I am light.
Allow those words to settle.
I am peace.
Rest there for a few moments.
I am eternal.
Beyond time.
I'm connected to the divine.
Always connected.
Always love.
Always supported.
Soon enough,
The mind will wander again.
Notice it without judgment.
And gently return home.
I am light.
I am peace.
I am eternal.
I am connected to the divine.
Again,
The mind wanders.
Again you return.
I am light.
I am peace.
I am eternal.
I am connected to the divine.
There is no such thing as a failed meditation.
Every return is a strengthening.
Every return reminds the mind where home is.
Like clear water settling over smooth stones.
The mind remembers its natural clarity.
Remain here for a few moments.
If another thought appears,
Notice,
Return home.
I am light.
I am peace.
I am eternal.
I'm connected to the divine.
Again and again.
Each return is gentle.
Each return is enough.
As you continue into your day.
As you continue into your day,
This practice comes with you.
The mind will wander.
You will notice.
You will return.
Not once,
Not perfectly.
But as many times as necessary.
Bring your mind home.
To what is always true.
I am light I am peace.
I am eternal.
I'm connected to the divine.
This is home.
And every time you return Your mind learns the way.
