What could be better than meditating and learning a language at the same time? This guidance comes from me and the very talented Norwegian teacher Sïrï Opli. Even if you don't know any Norwegian, it is amazing how deep it takes you in meditation. The ambient tracks is by Sïrï too and called Music From The Trees.

By and large,

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

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.

By and large,

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

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.

Just for today,

Just be mindful of your breath.

Notice the in-breath.

Notice the out-breath.

Most importantly,

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

And the out and the in.

Just for today,

Just be mindful of your breath.

Notice the in-breath.

Notice the out-breath.

Most importantly,

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

And the out-breath and in-breath.

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?

Just for today,

Be aware of your thoughts.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Think something new.

And allow your world to change as a result.

A while back I listened to someone else doing this on insight timer. I loved it and thought it should be done more often - and here you are!! Ha en fin dag 🤍ॐ 🙏🏼

LOVED listening to the cadence and flow of the Norwegian, so beautiful. The linguist in me, however, immediately tried to guess the meaning of the sounds, which of course is not the intention of the meditation. Nevertheless, it made me smile from head to toe, and brought wonderful innocent lightness into my being: that’s great energy to start my day. Thank you, Tom🙏🏻🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🙏🏻

I love the balance between the two narrators. It felt like I was on vacation sitting in a Norwegian cafe sipping a strong hot coffee and taking in the aromas and flavours of the foreign language. I will definitelyy leave a bread crumb trail of kindness for others to follow today.
