Just Float Today

This is another in my Just For Today-themed meditative explorations with a twist. The background music is from the amazingly talented composer James Anthony Walker. It's called Floating and is one of the most listened-to ambient tracks on the app, with millions of plays. It's a go-to track for those awake in the small hours. It is an honor to be able to add some words to it.

Transcript

Just for today, Float downstream. Only use your paddles so you don't get stuck on the bank. Let the current take you where it will, Knowing you will end up somewhere completely different. Just for today, Enjoy the view. Pick up new aromas on the wind. Hear the ripples upon the water. Notice what you have not noticed. Just for today, Watch out for your power animal. It will be the first one you see or hear. Lock him in as your companion and notice how and when it reappears as you float downstream. And just for today, Do stop for a rest. Tie up your boat and sit on the bank for a while. Notice the flows and eddies in the water and be okay with picking up a passenger. Just for today, Notice the flow. Is it speeding up or slowing down? Or are you having to use your paddles? Just for today, Travel along uncharted waters. Find a tributary and go and explore. Be okay if you have to backtrack. Just for today, Remember where you started and celebrate how far you have come with little effort too as you have been floating along with the current. And just at the end of the day before you float off to sleep, Give thanks to the day just gone. Allow wondrous dreams to float your way back to seeds for the day yet to come.

This was very relaxing and definitely a beautiful message of how to go with the flow. It also brought me back to my river experiences and the memories were wonderful. Thank you.

Hello Tom, what an amazing find! This was a joy and honour to find you today. With much gratitude and love, thank you ❤️

I intend to revisit this regularly. Just wonderful. Thank you.

I enjoyed that little paddle, thank you. The “just for today” phrase really helps my anxiety brain stop from jumping forward and panicking about the what ifs and the enormity of the long term and just focus on one day at a time. Grateful for that 🙏🏻🤗

Many Blessings to you, Tom, for all the gifts you share. Thank you 🙏🏽
