Hello,
My name is Jacqueline and I'd like to thank you for choosing to spend this moment in time with me.
I mostly meditate to guided meditations and it's only recently,
In the last week or so,
That I discovered how beneficial it is to meditate in silence.
Now I've learnt a few techniques and I'd like to share them with you,
In case you,
Like I did,
Struggle with meditating in silence,
With that mind chatter,
With the thoughts that come to mind that you just try to push away and they won't go.
But let me start with this first way of meditating in silence.
So if you are ready,
Make yourself comfortable,
Either laying down or sitting in a chair.
We'll start off by taking a nice deep breath in.
And as we release that breath we allow ourselves to relax.
Another deep breath in.
And exhale any tension.
If you haven't already,
Gently close your eyes.
I feel this does help with silent meditation.
You avoid the distraction of what's around you.
Allow your breath to become nice and steady.
Now we're going to focus on our breath.
We're going to breathe in and out.
Just a nice steady rhythm.
No forced rhythm.
Just nice and steady.
So we breathe in and out.
On the in breath we say in.
And on the out breath we say out.
Just in our mind,
Not out or distracting ourselves.
Just follow the breath in and out.
In and out.
I'll say it with you a few times and then I'm going to leave you for two minutes to meditate in silence.
So keeping your breath in nice and steady.
In,
Out.
In,
Out.
In,
Out.
In,
Out.
In,
Out.
In,
Out.
In,
Out.
In,
Out.
Just allow yourself to enjoy the silence for a moment longer.
Now take a nice deep breath in and allow yourself to be aware of the noises in your room as you start to feel yourself coming back.
Take a nice breath in and release that air.
Meditating in silence has an unusual effect on us and when we concentrate on the breath in and the breath out we can go deeper into meditation.
Come back for part two where I share a second technique with you.
Thank you for spending this time with me.
