We will begin this meditation with a reflective self-inquiry that will help you connect to yourself at a deeper level.
We will start by settling into silence and becoming present and then I will guide you into the four soul questions.
As you ask yourself these questions,
Before meditating on a regular basis,
You will gain clarity and insight into who you really are,
What you really want,
And what you are here to do.
To begin to sit comfortably and close your eyes,
Let's take a few deep breaths,
Simply following the inhale and exhale of your breath coming into the present moment.
With each inhalation and exhalation,
Allow yourself to become more relaxed,
More comfortable,
And more at peace.
We are going to ask ourselves a few questions.
Gently repeat each one silently and then just listen to whatever answers come without judgment or evaluation.
Please bring your awareness into your heart center,
The area of your chest.
Now ask yourself the first question,
Who am I?
Who am I?
Simply ask yourself this question and notice the responses that come to you without forcing anything.
You may experience thoughts,
Feelings,
Images,
Or sensations,
Or nothing at all.
Whatever happens is perfect.
Simply ask the question and rest in being.
Just be.
Who am I?
The next question is,
What is my purpose?
What is my purpose?
Ask the question and allow any thoughts,
Feelings,
Images,
Or sensations to come without forcing anything.
Just be open.
What is my purpose?
Now ask yourself the final soul question,
What am I grateful for?
Ask yourself the question and allow the responses to come to you.
What am I grateful for?
Please let go of all of these questions and answers.
Bring your awareness back to your breath,
Simply observing the inflow and outflow without trying to control it in any way.
Let's just continue easily observing our breath,
And if you notice your attention drifting away to thoughts or noises,
Gently come back to observing your breath.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Leaving your eyes gently closed,
We will now begin repeating the sound,
So hum.
So hum.
So hum.
Silently repeat the word so as you breathe in and hum as you breathe out.
So with the inhalation,
Hum on the exhalation.
There's no need to focus or concentrate,
Just have simple awareness of the sound.
So as you inhale,
Hum as you exhale.
Your breath may get faster or slower,
Deeper or shallower.
However it changes,
Just observe it innocently and silently repeating,
So hum.
Whenever your attention drifts to thoughts in your mind,
Sounds in your environment,
Or sensations in your body,
Gently return to your breath without judgment,
Silently repeating,
So hum.
Don't look for any experience or wait for something to happen.
Simply and innocently go with the flow.
I'll watch the time,
And I will tell you when it's time to stop.
I'll watch the time,
And I will tell you when it's time to stop.
I'll watch the time,
And I will tell you when it's time to stop.
You you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you
