Think of the most beautiful mountain you can imagine.
Notice its shape and the solid rock from which it is made.
Observe its vastness and tranquility.
See how it firmly connects to the earth.
Immerse yourself in the essence of this mountain.
Let its unwavering calmness wash over you.
As winter arrives,
Winds blow over the mountain,
Their whispers echoing through the rocky terrain.
Rain falls and hailstones shatter on the rocks.
A veil of fog glides over the mountain.
Covering and concealing it.
Yet the mountain remains steadfastly present.
It emanates calmness and silence.
Now,
Direct your attention inward.
The weather on the mountain reflects experiences in your life.
Passing thoughts.
Absorbed impressions.
Memories rising.
Sometimes,
Like the fog on the mountain,
They cover you.
And the mountain is your deep presence.
More than your thoughts.
More than your feelings.
It is you.
The one who experiences.
The one who is aware.
The one who believes.
Who draws on the power of reason.
You carry calm and confidence within you.
They depend on nothing.
Take a few moments and allow yourself to discover this state of being.
To experience your inner calm and confidence.
Thank you for watching.
