Week 6
Eight Steps to Meditating: Your Personal Meditation Guide
These steps, simple yet profound, are doorways to our inner sanctuary.
Step 1 - Posture: Embrace the earth beneath and the sky above. Sit with your spine upright, allowing energy to flow, and tuck your chin in ever so slightly, like a secret nod to the universe.
Step 2 - Breath & Presence: Whisper to your soul by observing your breath. Let it be the bridge between your body and spirit. Remember, regardless of our life's circumstances, the present moment is the canvas on which we paint our experiences.
Step 3 - Silence: Oh, the melody of silence! It is in the quietude that we truly hear our heartbeats, and it's where our inner wisdom patiently waits for us.
Step 4 - Length: Your journey doesn't demand hours; it craves consistency. Begin with tender moments and let them blossom over time.
Step 5 - Place: Like a special space, choose a spot that feels like a whispered lullaby, where stillness embraces you in its gentle arms.
Step 6 - Focus: In a world of endless symphonies, let your breath be your song. And if your mind dances away, gently invite it back to the rhythm of your breathing.
Step 7 - Release Expectations: With open arms, welcome every sensation, every thought. Remember, in this sacred space, everything is a guest and everything belongs.
Step 8 - Gratitude: As your session winds down, let your heart brim with gratitude. A silent 'thank you' is a powerful echo that resonates within and around us.
May this guide be the lantern that lights up your path in moments of darkness and the gentle breeze that reminds you of your inner strength. Dive deep, for within you lies an ocean of peace.
