Recently a kind listener gave me a lovely review for one of my 'Just for Today' themed guided meditations. They did however ask if I could do a longer one. Accordingly, this is 30 minutes long and contains 30 memes spaced out at minute intervals with some gentle piano and guitar to give time for contemplation. If you like it, let me know and I will create more.

Just for today,

Stretch your mind.

Open the door to a new way of being.

Take off the brakes and remove any binds.

Say hello to a new world.

Just for today,

Think a new thought.

There is no need to force it.

Just tune into the gaps between the in and the out breaths and allow it to arrive.

Just for today,

Learn a new word.

Subscribe to Word of the Day with dictionary.

Com.

Read all senses of that word.

And use it at least three times in context,

Over the course of the day.

Just for today,

Connect with one new soul.

Or reconnect with an old soul.

Rather finding out what they do,

Discover what you can do for each other.

Just for today,

Forge a new connection.

It might be between two unconnected people,

Two random things or two desperate ideas.

Allow a third meme to emerge.

And when it does,

Work with that.

Just for today,

Be even more grounded.

Remember you are a soul bonded to the earth plane.

All other life forms are similarly bonded too.

Together you form a conscious symbiotic biosphere.

Just for today,

Look after your needs first.

Then be minded of the needs and wants of others.

Be mindful too of the interconnected nature of the biosphere.

And your role as one of its self-aware aspects?

Just for today,

Go forward in trust.

Trust that your path is already preordained.

Yet you have the free will to alter it.

And in acceptance of this paradox,

Lies true freedom.

Just for today,

Love a little more.

Start with loving who and what you have become.

Then send love to your future self.

And radiate love out to the other actors in your play.

Just for today,

Speak only the truth.

Speak it softly,

Yet with fervour and passion.

Be mindful that our words are vocalisations of our thought forms.

Be both timeful and kindful in their utterance.

Just for today,

Know your mind.

Know that it is a percolation of your unconscious murmurs.

And a distillation of the collective consciousness.

And that most thoughts are not necessarily what we think of as our own.

Just for today,

Be open to all.

Let the world come to you.

And go out to meet it with open arms.

Accept all that comes your way with a warm heart.

Just for today,

Join the below to the above.

Unite the alpha and omega.

Join the end with the beginning.

And note that all beginnings lead to a new end point.

Just for today,

Be still.

Just notice.

Just listen.

Just be.

Just for today,

Be the life and soul.

Bring all to your party.

Be the hostess with the mostess,

Or the host with the most.

Have your guests wanting to come back for more.

Just for today,

Stretch your capabilities.

Learn something new.

Gain a new skill.

Remember that in its practice lies perfection.

Just for today,

Go only with the flow.

Stop paddling upstream.

Let the currents take you.

And be content with where you end up.

Just for today,

Dream only of the impossible.

Just achieving what's possible is too easy.

Go an extra mile.

And go about it with a smile.

Just for today,

Forget rhyme or reason.

Just be mindful of the season.

Tune in to the phase of the moon.

And how what you need next is coming real soon.

Just for today,

Make and extend promises.

Promise someone you will do something.

Increase your personal promise.

This way you increase your net worth.

Just for today,

Build new bridges.

Connect one side with another.

Span the chasm beneath.

Take others from an old place to somewhere new.

Just for today,

Scale new heights.

Enjoy a higher perspective.

Of both what's out in front of you.

And where you have come from.

Just for today,

Be mindful of what's below.

And our place in the food chain.

Our role as a sentient aspect of Mother Earth.

And her desire to become truly self-aware.

Just for today,

Be a guiding light.

Hold a torch to illuminate the path for others.

And so that you can see out much further.

Be sure to shine your light into the shadows.

Just for today,

Be the life breath.

On the in breath,

Allow inspirations to arrive.

On the out breath,

Communicate your aspirations.

On the gaps between the in and out,

Tap into your infinite aspects.

Just for today,

Draw a line in the sand.

Behind it,

What is past is in the past.

In front of it,

Only a bright future exists.

Start taking baby steps away from that line,

Both onwards and upwards.

Just for today,

Take the high road.

The path may be undulating.

It may be a little treacherous.

But the views and excitement will make it more worthwhile.

Just for today,

Remember all souls are enmeshed.

We are all actors and directors in the plays of others.

Be mindful that each of our splashes in the collective pond send ripples out that influence others.

And just for today,

Notice these ripples.

Pay attention to thoughts that come in at random.

Make a note of the messages in your dreams.

Give thanks to whoever sent them.

And just for today,

Go around the loop.

Read a book again.

Watch a repeat on TV.

Or listen to this once more.

As you cover old ground,

Spot what you may have missed last time.

A novel practice. With new year approaching I appreciated the invitation to consider to engage in things 'just for today', knowing that's where all things naturally originate, and feeling less onerous that way.

Every single and collective thing you publish is so elegant, eloquent, and thought provoking in ways that open beautiful, previously un-thought-of perspectives for me. And, I’ve no doubt, many others. Thank you Tom Evans. 😊
