The Spaces In Between

Most of us live in the noise, the constant stream of thoughts, tasks, and notifications. But what lives in the silence between? This meditation invites you to discover the subtle, restorative spaces that exist between your breaths, between sounds, and between thoughts. No forcing. No striving. Just noticing. Perfect for beginners who are ready to move beyond "doing" meditation and into simply being.

Hello and welcome. My name is Tina and I want to thank you for joining me for this meditation. In this meditation we'll practice noticing the spaces between things. Find a comfortable seat. You could be sitting or laying down. Just let your body settle into the surface that's supporting you. And when you're ready close your eyes if that feels right. Let's take a deep breath in through the nose. Hold at the top and as you exhale just let go of all the need to control things. Now bring your attention to your breath. Just noticing. Notice an inhale and then the little pause before the exhale. Notice the exhale and then the pause before the next inhale. Those little spaces, The stillness between, Just notice them. Don't try to change it or control it. If your mind wanders that's okay. Just gently keep coming back to the breath and the spaces in between. Now bring that same awareness to sounds. Just notice a sound and then notice the silence after. And then another sound and the quiet that follows. You don't have to make anything happen. Just notice the rhythm of the sound and then the silence. Let's stay here for another minute. Breathing, Listening, And resting in the spaces in between. Now bring your attention back to your breath. I'm gonna take a deep breath in through the nose, Filling the belly, Expanding the chest. Hold at the top and then exhale through the mouth. And when you're ready gently open your eyes. Namaste.
