Welcome to this guided meditation on Wake Me Up.
This is your time to slow down.
to pause, to let go of all of the pressure, to succeed, to accomplish goals, or to live in any
particular way at all. This time is for you to simply be and experience your own presence in the
current moment. So find a comfortable position, close your eyes, and take a nice, slow, deep breath in.
and as you exhale, let your body soften down,
or of any of the weight or burdens you're holding onto.
They don't matter right now.
This time is just for you.
There's nothing you need to do.
Aware for you to go.
Notice existence.
Feel your breath as it is in this moment,
rising and falling.
Currents of energy within you.
pulse in your hands, the rhythm in your chest.
Every exhale, release just a bit more tension and thought.
Slowly allowing yourself to settle deeper and deeper within.
And you don't need to try to stop thinking a futile goal.
Just notice that you are separate from your thoughts.
You are the observer of the things.
observer of them, the awareness behind them, the space that they appear in, and just feel that
simple truth that before any story you're telling yourself, before any label is applied,
there is simply an existence. We invite you to settle deeper, deeper, into nothing but this.
existence for just a moment here. Simply being present, simply being. Perhaps your mind will
wander off distracting you from this moment of presence. And that's okay. There's no need to be
frustrated by that. That's what your mind is designed to do. To think. And when that happens,
just remember you are separate from your mind. You are separate from your mind. You are.
are not your thoughts. You are the observer. And sometimes we get a little lost as the observer of our
minds because we allow ourselves to follow the path that the mind is wandering along. This leads us
to lose our presence in the moment. As we get tangled up in a web of thoughts, you can take back
control, simply by remembering your role as the observer of the thoughts and guiding the mind
to re-center it on something like the breath or the sensations in your body.
Anything else that defines your experience in the present moment.
Awareness to the space around you.
Feel the air on your skin.
listen to the sounds you can hear.
Really notice these things as intimately as you can.
Take another deep breath in, filling all the way up into your chest and expanding down into your belly.
And then exhale, just let the air fall back out.
No need to force anything here.
When you're ready, you can begin to bring some gentle movement.
back to your body, opening your eyes when you're prepared to do so.
And when you do, open your mind to the idea of seeing the world with a fresh perspective,
one without commentary, without rushing, trying to force things.
Because all we really have is the present moment.
This moment is enough.
It has to be.
It's all that exists right now.
And in the same way, you are enough.
Everything you need is already here with you in this present moment.
And on that note, thanks for joining me here today
and choosing to share this existence called life with me for just a few minutes.
I hope to see you back here soon on Wake Me Up.
And until next time,
Go out and have an absolutely fantastic...
