The Lake Of Stillness Within You

Beneath the movement of thoughts and emotions, there is a quiet, steady place within you — like a still lake untouched by the wind.
In this meditation, you are gently guided to settle into that space, allowing the surface of the mind to soften and clear.
As you rest in awareness, a natural sense of calm and balance begins to emerge.
This is not something you create, but something you return to — again and again, with ease.

Keep your eyes closed. Start to just observe the breath. Observe each in-breath. Observe each out-breath. And just allow the mind to come towards a stillness. To come towards a silence. Feel the breath entering. Leaving. Feel the ribcage expanding. Feel the ribcage contracting. Just keep bringing the awareness to the breathing. Enjoying the feeling of silence. That comes into the mind. As you observe the breath. Feel the mind. It's activity. Becoming very slow. And then in your mind's eye. You see yourself. Sat in front of a beautiful lake. You feel stillness. Silence. You hear the sound of the water. You see rose petals on the surface of the water. And you feel how the water is bringing you stillness. Bringing you peace. You enjoy this feeling of peace. In your mind's eye. You observe yourself resting. Now just on the surface of the lake. Feeling the rose petals supporting you. And you feel yourself taking on. The stillness of the lake. The molecules of water. Within the lake. Are the same as the molecules of water. Within your body. Within the blood. The fluids. The cells within your body. You become aware of how you are at one with nature. But not just nature. How you are at one with the stillness of the lake. As you become aware of this. You hear the sound of gentle ripples. On the surface of the lake. And the sound of these ripples. Brings stillness to your mind. You feel yourself completely at peace. Stillness filling you completely. You feel a cooling effect.
