This is the second in a series of meditations which is a co-creation between me and fellow Insight Timer guide Violet 108. It’s a meditation in English, followed by its translation in Spanish. We hope you enjoy them if you are bilingual or that they help you brush up on your Spanish or encourage you to learn the language. Note that they work especially well for learning in the meditative and half-sleep state.

By and large,

The way that we start our day sets the tone for the rest of the day.

So this short visualisation is a great way to set up the most fantastic day ahead.

All you have to do is sit or lie down comfortably,

And allow your mind to wander and to wonder So let all the tension flow from your body.

Take a deep in-breath and a full out-breath.

En general,

La forma en que comenzamos nuestro dia establece el tono para el resto del dia.

Así que esta breve visualización es una excelente manera de preparar el día más fantástico que tenemos por delante.

Todo lo que tienes que hacer es sentarte o acostarte cómodamente y dejar que tu mente divague y se maraville.

Así que deja que toda la tensión fluya de tu cuerpo,

Respira profundamente y exhala por completo.

Just for today,

Just be mindful of your breath.

Notice the in-breath,

Notice the out-breath.

And most importantly,

Pay attention to the still point between the in and the out,

And the out and the in.

Solo por hoy,

Solo se consiente de tu respiración,

Observa la inhalación,

Observa la exhalación.

Y lo más importante,

Presta atención al punto de quietud entre la inhalación y la exhalación,

Y la inhalación.

Just for today,

Just be aware of your thoughts.

As each thought comes in,

Ask it,

Who sent it,

For what purpose?

And ask yourself,

What accent is it speaking in?

And who is doing the talking?

And who is doing the listening?

Solo por hoy,

Solo se consiente de tus pensamientos,

A medida que cada pensamiento entra,

Pregúntale quién lo envió y con qué propósito,

Y pregúntale con qué acento está hablando,

Y quién está hablando,

Y quién está escuchando.

Just for today,

Remember that holding anger is like holding a hot coal and not throwing it.

So if you have thoughts of revenge,

Or being wronged,

Just imagine you're standing at the top of a cliff,

Looking out to sea,

And throw that anger as far away as you can,

Let it sail into the air,

And drop into the sea.

Solo por hoy,

Recuerda que guardar ira es como sostener un carbón caliente y no tirarlo,

Así que si tienes pensamientos de venganza o de haber sido agraviado,

Imagina que estás parado en la cima de un acantilado mirando hacia el mar,

Y lanza esa ira lo más lejos que puedas,

Deja que navigue por el aire y caiga al mar.

Just for today,

Perform a random act of kindness,

And with random acts of kindness,

The first thing is that they must be random,

And also the person you bestow your kindness on may not be the person that returns the kindness to you.

So smile at a stranger,

Let somebody out in traffic,

Open a door for somebody,

And notice how your random acts of kindness are nicely infectious.

In performing them,

Other people will copy you and pass them on.

Solo por hoy,

Realicia un acto de bondad al azar,

Con actos de bondad al azar,

Lo primero es que deben ser aleatorios,

Y también la persona a la que le ortegas tu bondad puede que no sea la persona que te devuelva la bondad,

Así que sonríele a un extraño,

Deja salir a alguien en el tráfico,

Abre la puerta a alguien,

Y observa como tus actos de bondad al azar son agradablemente contagiosos,

Al realizarlos otras personas te copiarán y lo transmitirán.

Just for today,

Be thankful.

Be thankful to Mother Earth for keeping the air that you breathe around you,

And providing the gravity that sticks you to the planet.

Be thankful for all the gifts and serendipities that come your way.

And be thankful for the amazing experience of being alive and self-aware on planet Earth.

Solo por hoy,

Sé agradecido.

Agradece a la Madre Tierra por mantener el aire que respiras a tu alrededor,

Y proporcional la gravedad que te adgire a la planeta.

Agradece todos los regalos y las serendipias que se te presentan,

Y agradece la increíble esperanza de estar vivo y consciente de ti mismo en la planeta Tierra.

Just for today,

Increase your knowledge.

Learn the meaning of a new word.

Learn a new fact.

Pick up a new skill.

And with what you learn,

Take that newness out into the world,

And notice how in return that opens new doors and brings new opportunities your way.

Solo por hoy,

Aumenta tu conocimiento.

Aprende el significado de una nueva palabra.

Aprende un nuevo hecho.

Adquiere una nueva habilidad.

Y con lo que aprendas,

Lleva esa novedad al mundo,

Y observa cómo a cambio eso te abre nuevas puertas y te trae nuevas oportunidades.

Just for today,

Make a change.

Be aware that the only constant is change.

So do something new.

Go somewhere new.

Meet somebody new.

Think something new.

And allow your world to change as a result.

Solo por hoy,

Haz un cambio.

Sé consciente de que la única constante es el cambio.

Así que haz algo nuevo.

Ve a algún lugar nuevo.

Conoce a alguien nuevo.

Piensa algo nuevo.

Y permite que tu mundo cambie como resultado.

Just for today,

Be open to new possibilities.

As you go about your day,

Be mindful of your thoughts.

Keep a quiet mind and notice the signs and serendipities,

And remember to say thank you when they come along.

If any adversity comes your way,

Say thank you too,

For bringing you a lesson and the opportunity to grow.

Just for today,

Remember to shine your light.

Leave your mark on the world.

And leave a breadcrumb trail for others to follow.

Solo por hoy,

Recuerda hacer brillar tu luz.

Deja tu huella en el mundo y deja un rastro de migras de pan para que otros lo sigan.

And now open your eyes slowly.

And be mindful,

Timeful,

And kindful as you go about your day.

Ahora abre los ojos lentamente y se consiente amable y bondadoso mientras transcurre tu día.

Meet your Teacher

I was apprehensive at trying this version of my go- to morning meditation, but being a native New Mexican , from in the American Southwest also intrigued! Happily this spanish translation intergration is lovely, more than just the usual carbon copy in spanish - for me, it adds a collaborative and comforting dimension! Thank you!
