Being And Doing Enough: A Meditation

Like me, you may find that you often have to remind yourself that that’s enough for today, that you don’t need to attain the unreachable goals you sometimes set yourself, that you have enough, that you give enough, that you are enough – simply being you, right here, right now in this moment.

This meditation invites you to rest in your "enough-ness" by listening to the words of Mystic Poet Chelan Harkin's poem "Bask in that".

Transcript

Welcome to this meditation on a poem by Chelan Harkin,

Which invites us to know that we are enough exactly as we are,

And that we are doing enough.

We're invited to rest,

To notice and to sink into enough-ness,

Even when the world pushes for more.

Sitting comfortably,

Take a few deeper,

Wider breaths.

Allow the shoulders to sink.

Feeling the connection between the soles of your feet and the floor.

Receiving the grace to be present here and to receive the gift of these words.

I'm going to read the poem three times.

Bask in that by Chelan Harkin.

You are doing enough by growing basil in your front yard and delighting in it.

You are doing enough by sitting still and saying thanks to whatever's around you.

You are doing enough with this breath and that one too.

You are doing enough by being the canvas for all the intricate and unique designs love draws within the heart by sampling all the flavours of light.

Go ahead and take a break.

You've been invited to an orb of mystery and joy.

Whoever says you can't bask in that was just trying to use you to make him more money.
