Transcript

Welcome to this moment.

Here we are,

Right now.

Let's just take a very brief moment to allow the breath to bring us back to right now.

In the most simple way,

We're just being together.

There's nothing to do.

There's nowhere to go.

We are just resting in a beautiful permission to just be.

Can we notice,

In the most compassionate and self-forgiving sort of way,

Just how much we make life difficult when it doesn't have to be.

We can recognize all of our clinging,

Trying to hold on to that which cannot be held on to,

Trying to control that which cannot be controlled,

And we simply become exhausted.

So right now,

Let's just take a break.

Let's come back to life,

In this moment,

And see that we don't need to hold on to anything.

Nothing needs to be controlled.

Nothing can be released.

You see,

My friend,

There's so much that the mind thinks is happening.

It imagines so many things to be afraid of,

But right here,

Right now,

There's nothing to fear.

Sure,

You can go looking in your mind.

You can create imaginary monsters,

But those monsters are not here right now.

In fact,

They're never here right now.

They will forever and always only be in the mind.

And so let's come back to reality.

Breathe into this moment.

Yes,

We get lost.

That's okay.

We get confused.

That too is okay.

We can always come home to right now and allow ourselves to just rest.

And it's in this stillness,

Beyond all the mind's noise,

That we can recognize everything is okay,

But only here and now.

Thank you for meditating with me today.

Everything about this meditation made it so easy to rest here with you for those 8 minutes. It was just what I needed, thank you 🙏🏻

Wonderful mediation that reminded me of letting go of some control in my life today.

Among the most healing meditations I’ve listened to on Insight Timer.

Exactly what I needed during my break. Gentle voice and guidance. Thank you!

This was very good. A gentle reminder for me that I can just let things be without expectations or the need to control outcomes. Thank you for this, Tiger. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

one of the best guided meditations I’ve participated in on this app. the conversational guidance enables an ease while focusing on the breath. each word melts into the awareness cultivated via vipassana in such an interesting way; it’s almost as if the guidance comes from within.

I recommend this practice for anyone attempting to discover the subtlety of non-dualism through sound.

very grateful for this practice 🙏🏾.

So easy to become immersed. Thank you for your teachings and your lovely voice.

A great relief from this crazy world listening to your calming voice and beautiful music. Thank you.

Excellent session, very relaxing and effective, thank you for sharing.
