My Magic Remote Control Meditation

My Magic Remote Control: Pause, Slow Down & Play (Guided Calm with Ms. Brooke)

Ms. Brooke guides a calming meditation inviting listeners to get comfortable sitting, lying down, or resting with eyes closed or softly open. She asks them to imagine holding a magic remote control that manages their body and feelings, noticing its color and feel. The first button, “Pause,” helps the body become still while taking a slow inhale through the nose and a long exhale through the mouth. The second button, “Slow Down,” encourages softer shoulders, a looser jaw, heavy hands, and slower breathing, with permission to press it again if the mind speeds up. Finally, before pressing “Play,” listeners notice feeling calmer and quieter, then press play to wiggle fingers and toes, open their eyes, and remember the remote is always with them.

Welcome back for another calming meditation with me, Ms. Brooke. Let's all get comfortable in our bodies. You can sit, Lie down, Or rest however your body feels best. Close your eyes if that feels good. Or keep them softly open. Now imagine you're holding something special in your hands. It's a magic remote control made just for you. This remote doesn't control a TV. It controls your body and your feelings. Take a look at your remote. Notice its color. Notice how it feels in your hand. There are three buttons. The first button says pause. Gently press pause. Let your body pause like a statue. Like a sleepy cat. Like the moment right before a yawn. Now take a slow breath in through your nose. And a long breath. Out through your mouth. There's nothing to do. Nowhere to go. We're just pausing. Now, Find the second button. It says, Slow down. Press Slow Down. Feel your shoulders soften. Feel your jaw get loose. Let your hands feel heavy. Breathe in slowly. And breathe out even slower. If your mind starts to move fast, That's okay. Just press slow down again. Inhale. And exhale. Now let's find that last button. It says play, But don't press it yet. First, Notice how your body feels now. Calmer, Quieter, More ready. When you're ready, Gently press play. Wiggle your fingers. Wiggle your toes. Open your eyes. Remember, This remote is always with you.
