04:36 - Guided Meditation: “Coming Home To Your Now”

Find a comfortable space in your space

Take time to adjust your body, whether sitting or lying down

Adjust your body to feel comfortable, to feel safe, supported

Allow your eyes to gently close, and breathe

Allowing yourself to be in your space with awareness, with attention,

A welcoming of attunement

Allow your hands your arms to rest comfortably

Whether that is on your lap or by your side

Palms up or palms down

Or place one hand on your belly and one on your heart

Honoring your space, time, your energy here today

Whether you are here at the beginning of your day, or the end of your day

Or somewhere in between

Give yourself a smile for taking this time to focus on you

To focus on your energy, your mind, your body, your spirit

As your eyes are closed, take time to notice what comes into your awareness

Where does it come from?

Is it coming from your mind? Thoughts? Ideas? 

That pop in for a short time or stick around with energy and meaning

Notice with curiosity

What else are you tuning into today?

Welcome the energy from your senses,

Whether that be sensory information from within your experience

Inside your body, inside your mind, inside your heart

Notice when your attention goes to the sensory information outside

In your external experience, in your space

A noise, an energy flow, a smell, a shift in the light

Even when your eyes are closed, you can notice the shift in the light and the dark of your space

And your breath, remember that you have it with you wherever you go

To help you, to recenter you, to reset the cycle

To pause and honor your space, honor your presence, 

honor your being here and now in this moment in time

Where you can choose to let the other pieces of your day, of your week, of your month

Slip away to be attended to at another time

As you tune into your now, using your breath, your senses, your attention to this moment in time

What is here for you?

Welcome, welcome to your time

Welcome to your presence, to your now

Your mind will wander, your mind will pull you away

Notice where it goes, where it wants to take you

Notice with curiosity the content, the images, the ideas, the thoughts

That come into your awareness when you are still, when you are quiet

When you are inviting of the calm, of the energy of this moment, of this now

With divinity, with warmth, with energy and 

With your breath

Come back to your breath

Allow it to be your cycle

Allow it to be your anchor

Invite it to be your gift of attention, attunement, 

Recentering, resetting

When the world distracts you, when the noise carries you away,

Sometimes we welcome that distraction, 

Sometimes we welcome the noise,

And often we can allow ourselves to be stuck far far away from our soul, from our spirit, from our hearts, from our bodies

Bring yourself to you, to your now, to your peace, to your presence

Using your breath to bring you back

To bring you back into harmony and balance

Appreciating the time away, and 

welcoming the coming home

The reconnection, the peace, and the calm

Namaste
