Welcome.
Allowing your eyes to close now or simply softening your gaze.
I want you to become aware of the physical space you occupy in this moment.
Visualize yourself as a vast ancient mountain.
You are solid.
And move in.
And deeply rooted into the earth.
Your peak reaches high into the air and your base is unshakable.
You remain perfectly stable and grounded while the sky above you is a place of constant change.
From here you can begin to observe the world outside as if it were simply weather passing around you.
Practice your skill of observation.
Silently say to yourself,
I am noticing a thought Notice how,
By labeling the thoughts You remain separate from it.
You are the unshakable mountain observing the cloud.
Watch it move across the sky of your mind,
Knowing it cannot alter the solid foundation of your being.
Another thought may appear.
Again,
You simply recognize it.
You acknowledge its presence without being swept up in it you may say.
I'm noticing a thought about uncertainty you allow it to continue its journey.
Moving through the sky while you remain centered and immovable.
The weather of the world will always change.
Sometimes turbulent and sometimes still,
Yet you remain the constant sovereign observer.
From this high,
Clear perspective,
You can see that you have the resourcefulness to navigate any landscape.
Regardless of the weather of the world.
Until the chimes Remain as the mountain watching any thoughts drift by like clouds in the vast sky.
Contemplate your own inner stillness When you encounter the noise of the world,
Whether through a headline,
A conversation or a thought,
Remember that you are the observer.
You have the skill to watch the cloud pass and remain anchored in your own resourceful presence.
You're moving back into your day with a strengthened perspective,
Knowing that your internal stability is independent of external volatility.
Begin now to become aware of the room around you Feel the air on your skin.
Bring that sense of sovereign calm with you.
Return feeling refreshed and capable.
