Just Four Today

The title of this meditation is somewhat of a phonological ambiguity. Just for today, muse on the nature of the number four - geddit? This is another concatenation of my daily illustrated "Just for Todays" which I post on social media with ambient background inspired the number four too.

Transcript

Just for today,

See all four sides of a problem.

Appreciate its enormity.

Thank it for the opportunity.

Imagine life without it.

Allow its dissolution to arrive in your dreams.

On your dog walk or in meditation.

Just for today,

Spot the missing fourth element.

Imagine you are on a stage and an audience is looking at you through the fourth wall.

What can they see acting out that you are blind to?

Just for today,

Who do you want in your gang of four?

The four superheroes who can take on the world with you.

The characters can be real co-creators or four aspects of your good self.

Just for today,

Connect four things.

See the fifth element that now emerges.

Sometimes it is within,

Sometimes it is without.

Just for today,

Notice the number four.

How it is made from only three lines,

But has six corners.

What else do you see that you take for granted?

Just for today,

Look in all four corners of your globe.

What's been hiding in plain sight?

What is it time to make an appearance?

Why have you been waiting?

Just for today,

Go spiral.

Spiral up,

Spiral into the earth.

Spiral out in time and spiral back to the past.

Just for today,

Really look at yourself.

Do this from all angles.

Look at the outward and reflect on the inward.

Just for today,

Cross the circle.

See yourself from the other side.

Move left or right to get a different view.

Do you now see what you see?

Just for today,

Find shamanic significance.

What is the first bird song that calls you?

What is the first scent that is sent your way?

Give every sign a second glance.

Just for today,

Find four things.

Make the first one of your favourites.

The second should be something you've been avoiding.

The third is then what unites the first two,

No matter how random.

The fourth thing is then the thing you were looking for.

The fifth thing is then the thing you were looking for.

The sixth thing is then the thing you were looking for.

The seventh thing is then the thing you were looking for.

another beauty from my favorite dude on insight timer 😎

Interesting. I would love to read the transcript to better understand. 🙏🙈

Nice background music and interesting concept. I would have liked an example of the 4 sides of a problem.

Felt amazing listening to this meditation.thank you so much Tom.
the combination of your voice ,words and back ground music was just perfect.
NAMASTE🙏❤🕉🕊

Superb. Mindful morning navigation and creating ❤️

Lovely. Tom’s Just for Today meditation is one of the first I enjoyed when I first began using IT.

Very Tom Evans-ish!! Love this along with your chosen music… makes me feel more akin to my out-of-the box thinking! 🤔🍁Thank you once again!

Loved it. Thinking dimensionally is a good practice. Would love a one page set of notes.

This helped me uncover valuable insight . Thank you🙏🏽🕉

Tom, you really made me reflect...Thank you!!🧘‍♀️🙏❤

Perfect timing ahh the self knows. I will return to this

I really enjoyed that, Tom. It had me riveted and focused and at the same time relaxed. Something is different in this one. Perhaps the type of music during the contemplation pauses?

Love it. 🤩Thank you 🙏🏻

Really enjoy your Just four today meditations. Thank you 🙏

Brilliant.... I was crying and smiling at the same time. Many 🙏❤️Tom.

This was mind opening and groovy. Loved it. Tom Evans has an otherworldly kind of wisdom and perspective that sparks wonder.

Brilliant! I’d listened to and enjoyed many of Tom Evans’s earlier guided meditations over the years, but this one struck me as especially good—the writing and delivery are as provocative and eye-opening as ever, but the focus on this particular theme strikes me as particularly effective. The wordplay goes well beyond mere punning into a realm of eye-and-mind-opening exploration, part zen and part surrealism. Highly recommended.

Probably not the best starting place for someone new to either meditation or Tom’s work in particular, but only because it plays off the listener’s familiarity with that earlier work. A treat, and one to return to anytime—Especially if you have a specific problem you have been addressing for a while and need a fresh perspective on.

Thanks Tom
I’m really enjoying the play on words and significance if the different numbers 😊

Always enjoy these new perspectives as well as the music. Thanks yet again, Tom 🙏🏻🌺

Fore! Thanks for the heads up 🏌️‍♀️
