Calm The Bleep Down Meditation & Mindfulness

Meditation We get attached. We all do. The trick to life though, is to become deeply involved in our life all while being less attached to it. This meditation hopes to help the meditator to deal with attachment through our breath. Breathe in, detach and breathe out. Over and over again.

Life gets hectic and it is often hard to find a way into relaxation. Even when we purposefully take a few minutes to meditate, we are often met with a busy mind that makes it very hard to unplug from the chaos. This meditation aims to help the meditator with a simple tip to hyper-focus the breath into your body, all while doing a complete relaxing body scan. One breath at a time.

Sometimes we allow ourselves to get too busy or overwhelmed to give time for meditation. The thing is that meditation is good for us, even as a one time thing but the real benefits come from a daily routine and practice. This meditation hopes to assist the meditator some space to deepen the practice of daily meditation. One breath at a time.

Years and years of negative thought patterns have programmed our mind to think a certain way and eventually it just becomes our personality, how we see the world. If we want to reprogram our minds to think a different way, first we must notice them and have the presence of mind to stop ourselves when we slip into those patterns and replace them with more productive thoughts. This meditation hopes to help the meditator do just that by focusing, as always, on our breath. One breath at a time.

The chaos of daily life often leads to distraction, worry, anxiety, depression and this chaos makes it so easy to forget that the only time we actually have in life, is the present moment. This mediation aims to help the meditator rejoin the present moment through breath and stillness. One breath at a time.

Very often we feel like we cannot take a break so when we do take a break, we beat ourselves up for it later. This meditation hopes to help the meditator that we can't burn the candle from both ends all the time. We need a break. We need to unplug from time to time just to reset and rebalance ourselves for the next thing that comes our way. Come unplug with us for a few minutes. One breath at a time.

Many times we decide to do something new only to be met with an infinite amount of excuses and hesitation that only convinces us to procrastinate that thing, whatever it may be. This is called resistance and that kind of internal resistance is sent to us by our ego, which is trying to preserve and protect. How many times have we all not done something we wanted to do because we were afraid or failure, embarrassment, rejection, etc.? This meditation .hopes to remind the meditator that our fear is merely a compass pointing us in the direction we need to go to transcend ourselves. The answer is not to go around but to go through. One breath at a time.

When we are overcome with emotion it is very easy to lose sight of the fact that the pain is temporary but if we can learn that our pain and emotions come and go in waves, perhaps we can gain some mindfulness and perspective as we experience those things in the moment. This meditation aims to help the meditator remember to ride the wave of the present moment. One breath at a time.

Negativity can pile up on us through out our life. So much so that it is very easy to start to believe that nothing good will ever happen. People will suggest affirmations and law of attraction and many are skeptical that those things will ever work for them. The trust is that they will work only if we believe they will. They won't work, if we believe they won't. We have to retain ourselves to not feel silly thinking positively. That silly feeling is resistance and cynicism creeping back in. This meditation aims to help the meditator regain some peace and balance while reminding them that good things can happen, if only you just believe they can. One breath at a time.

Sometimes when we get overwhelmed by the things happening in our life, we can very easily get sucked into freezing up, not knowing what to do or where to go next and we begin to stagnate in that feeling of insecurity and if we are not careful, that feeling can become our new normal and the next thing we know, that's just how we feel all the time. This meditation hopes to remind the meditator that the easiest way to snap yourself out of that feeling is to keep moving forward, one breath at a time. One breath at a time.

We hold on to so many things in our life. Childhood trauma, embarassments, failures, disappointments all take up so much space that we leave little room for the successes, gratitude, hope, possibility. This meditation hopes to help the meditator remember that life is a process of letting go. One breath at a time.

Amid the chaos of our every day life, we go through struggles and suffering. Many times the flames of our suffering is being fanned by our ego that is constantly churning and working in the background at all times. Everything we have gone through in our previous life. Childhood traumas, ups and downs, failures, successes, they all add up. Our ego is constantly calculating. This meditation hopes help the meditator put some distance between you and your ego to gain some persepctive and some peace back into your day. One breath at a time.

Times can get tough. Times can get hard. In those moments of despair, we can get stuck in negative thought paterns, only noticing what is wrong, the things we don't have, all that we want that are still out of our grasp, it is also hard to keep in mind that we have abundance all around us and through our breath, we have abundance within us. One breath at a time.

We can get so overwhelmed with stress, chaos, and worry that it is very easy to loose sight of the good in our life, the things that, when we stop to think about it, we are obviously grateful for. This meditation aims to remind the meditator to stop and think about the abundance in our life and to develop the mindfulness to do so when we are stressing out in our day to day life. One breath at a time.

We very often get sucked into a desire for perfection, which is ultimately impossible and because of that, it only leads to disappointment and failure. Instead, seeking excelllence is a life-long journey towards constant improvement and has little built in successes along the way. Even in the pursuit of excellence and failure can actually be a success because we give ourselves permission to constantly improve over time. One breath at a time.

The trick is not to be perfect but to trend towards excelence. The standard is found nowhere else but inside of you. Nothing else, no one else matters. Your trajectory in our own life is where we are truly graded. There is no time stamp. It is a marathon and not a race. One breath at a time.

The busier we get, the older we get, the more distracted we get, the harder it becomes to feel like ourselves. We get pulled in so many directions every single waking minute, that is is ver easy to lose touch with ourselves, the moment, what matters most. This meditation aims to remind the meditator that the present moment is all around us and our perfect conscious awareness is always with us, deep down inside, waiting for us to reconnect with it. One breath at a time.

We are all living busy lives. It is hard not to feel yanked around by the endless distractions we have fighting for our attention. This makes it very difficult to find the stillness we have inside of us. This meditation uses quiet breath to help find some of that stillness and remember that stillness is inside of us at all times, just waiting for us to return to it. One breath at a time.

Our days are full of chaos. We are pulled in a million different directions at all times. If we are not careful, we can very easily find ourselves overworked, exhausted, burned out, and completely over "it" but if we cultivate mindfulness and try to see everything as an opportunity to practice mindfulness, then we can begin to see all the distractions and chaos in a different light. We can begin to see things as challenges, not nuisances. We can see them as ways to improve and be more present not as overwhelming obstacles to our happiness. One breath at a time.

It's impossible to be still and worried at the same time. It's impossible to listen while talking. It's impossible to be calm while everything inside of you is buzzing with worry, doubt, fear, anger, rage, so on and so forth. This meditation aims to help recenter the meditator into the moment by encouraging stillness while listening to the silence. To listen to the silence you need to be still, inside and out. One breath at a time.

It seems like we get so caught up in peace and quiet and calm surroundings that we tend to forget that only makes meditation easier. It's often hard to find perfect peace and quiet so this meditartion hopes to help the meditator remember that there is no such thing as a perfect meditation, there is only the meditation we are currently in. Noises and distractions only serve to help us practice being more present with ourselves. One breath at a time.

When meditating, we often concentrate on our breathing and when we get into that routine, we can sometimes forget that following your breath is really just one way to meditate. There are many other ways and when we change it up, very often we see things differently so much so that when we come back to our old ways of doing things, we can actually see them again, as if it is the first time, with a brand new perspective. This meditation hopes to help the meditator get to that place of seeing things again, for the first time. One breath at a time.

Sometimes it is easy to forget that we get so busy in our lives that we need to take a few moments to quiet down, re-connect to ourselves and the present moment, and heal from the day, week, month that has been happening. This meditation hopes to encourage you to take a few moments today and every day to just heal through the quiet persistent, never-ending present moment of our breath.

As we go through life, very often we can be critical of ourself for the mistakes of the past. We all have something we beat ourselves up over but it is only after we find a way to forgiveness that we can move on and find true happiness in our life. This meditation hopes to help with that process.

We have 60K-90K thoughts a day and half of those thoughts are repeated from the day before and then half of those thoughts are negative thoughts. Over time, these repeated thoughts add up to what we think of as our personality, our truth, our reality. But what happens if we don't like our situation, personality, or reality? What if we desire change in our life? That only happens when we change our perception of reality through our perspective on what is real and what is true. Being mindful of our thoughts is an excellent way to shift into a new reality. This meditation aims to help re-wire the mind one breath at a time.

As we go through our lives, all the stressors, anxieties, bumps in the road, past traumas all add up and begin to sort of paint us into a corner and sometimes it feels like avoiding them will make them easier to deal with. Out of sight, out of mind...but over time we begin to see that there is no avoiding truth because what tends to happen is instead of avoiding that thing we are pretending doesn't exist, we end of fixating on it. Instead of avoiding the thing, it begins to run our lives in so many unproductive ways. This meditation aims to help gain perspective on this and reminds us that recognizing and acknowledging, much like acknowledging thoughts while in meditation, makes moving on with our lives so much easier.

We can get so bogged down and heavy with stress and worry about things that have and have not happened in our life that we lose sight of that never ending path to joy. Gratitude. It's so easy to forget that there is so much in our life to be grateful for. Gratitude leads to abundance. Abundance leads to joy. Joy leads to loving your life. This meditation hopes to help the meditator get back to that place. One breath at a time.

Meditation imitates life in so many ways. When we face set backs, road blocks, or failures in our path, so often the only thing left to do is begin again. Just as in meditation when we find our mind wandering, we have to be mindful of it, acknowledge it and return to our breath. Begin again. This meditation aims to remind us that no matter what, there is no such thing as failure, so long as we keep going.

We get stuck in moments of being upset, let down, depression, anxiety and in those moments we start to think of our current situation as just how we are or "this is just who I am" and we get used to seeing ourselves that way and forget that may be true now but doesn't have to be true in the future. Visualizing our future can be a powerful way to see another version of ourselves that may be true now but can be true tomorrow. How do you see your future self? What are they telling you about yourself? What is the secret that future version of you holds that you have yet to learn? This meditation hopes to help you get closer to that future self, one breath at a time.

Often times we place so much pressure on ourselves to achieve the goal, whatever it may be, that we for get that one step forward is better than no steps forward. There is no such thing as failure, unless you quit. Everything in life is practice. Athletes practice to compete and then consider the competition practice for the next competition. Thinking this way can actually bleed over into life as well. Everything we do is just practice for life. Persistence, dedication, discipline, learning to deal with setbacks. Meditation is the same way. We are practicing for life. Mindfully. One breath at a time.

We spend most of our lives afraid. We spend most of our lives worrying about what has been or what could be. We spend our life thinking about all the bad things that are possible. But we very often forget the other side of possibility. All the good things that could happen. Good or bad, neither are true, unless we say so. This meditation hopes to help remind us that we have the universe inside of us and to ask the question how much better could things get? One breath at a time.

When we are feeling low, our vibrations are low. Those feelings of fear, sadness, depression, anxiety, boredom are all sucking our energy and keeping us vibrating at a lower level. All while disconnecting us from the present moment. Connecting to the present, raises our vibration. We start to feel joy, gratitude, inspired, optimistic, and enthusiastic for what is to come. The present moment is there, always singing in a perfect pitch, waiting for us to tune in to it. This meditation hopes to help the meditator practice that connection with the present moment so we can be more in unison with our life. One breath at a time.

Life doesn't always go to plan. In fact, life rarely seems to go to plan. We can't let those little bumps in the road, or even huge obstacles keep us from moving forward in our life. We need to be able to shift into another gear, change lanes, or take another route. This meditation hopes to help remind us that there is always another way. There is always plan B. One breath at a time.

Self discipline is the only way to form new habits and achieve new goals. Keeping your word with yourself is the first step towards being able to keep your word with others. Many times we can get swept away by the daily struggle and days, weeks, months can go by in between steps towards progress. Meditation can help form new patterns of behavior, to break free of unproductive thoughts and habits. One breath at a time.

When we are overcome with emotion it is very easy to lose sight of the fact that the pain is temporary but if we can learn that our pain and emotions come and go in waves, perhaps we can gain some mindfulness and perspective as we experience those things in the moment. This meditation aims to help the meditator remember to ride the wave of the present moment. One breath at a time.

Negativity can pile up on us through out our life. So much so that it is very easy to start to believe that nothing good will ever happen. People will suggest affirmations and law of attraction and many are skeptical that those things will ever work for them. The trust is that they will work only if we believe they will. They won't work, if we believe they won't. We have to retain ourselves to not feel silly thinking positively. That silly feeling is resistance and cynicism creeping back in. This meditation aims to help the meditator regain some peace and balance while reminding them that good things can happen, if only you just believe they can. One breath at a time.

Sometimes when we get overwhelmed by the things happening in our life, we can very easily get sucked into freezing up, not knowing what to do or where to go next and we begin to stagnate in that feeling of insecurity and if we are not careful, that feeling can become our new normal and the next thing we know, that's just how we feel all the time. This meditation hopes to remind the meditator that the easiest way to snap yourself out of that feeling is to keep moving forward, one breath at a time. One breath at a time.

Holding on to expectations is one of the fastest way to ensure our suffering and one of the fastest ways to ensure our peace of mind is to let go of those expectations. It is easier said than done but it is possible through practice of meditation. This meditation hopes to help with the letting go by following our breath. One breath at a time.

Our life can carry us away when we aren't looking. The mindfulness we get from practicing meditation can very easily point us back in the direction of the present moment that we can loose sight of so easily. The breath is our compass. In and out. In and out. One breath at a time.

In the day to day grind of our life, it is very easy to loose sight of things we are grateful for. The truth is that no matter how bad things are, no matter the struggle, there is still room for gratitude. Through gratitude comes joy and joy is the path to being in love with our life. One breath at a time.

When we sit down to meditate, we are trying to get to a place of stillness, calm, and silence to easier place ourselves in the present moment. In the present moment, we gain clarity and balance and one way into that place of calm is silence. This meditation hopes to assist the meditator to get to that place. Listen to the silence. One breath at a time.

So often, in our lives, we get bogged down in the negative thinking so much that we can convince ourselves that nothing good will ever happen, the the only thing possible is disappointment. This is because over time we have convinced ourselves to only believe in the negative. But there is another side of possibility and in there lies all the hope and good we can see in our live. The only thing that changes is what we choose to believe in. This meditation hopes to help the meditator shift their focus into the possibility of good.

In between stimulus and response, there is a space. There is a space to be found in between our thoughts. There is a space between inhale and exhale. We call this place The Gap. The gap is where we feel present and aware. Not thinking, not worrying, just absorbing and observing, just living in that space of pure conscious awareness. This meditation aims to help the meditator find their way into that space through practice of breath.

So many times we find ourselves getting stuck in negative and unproductive thought patterns. If we aren't careful or mindful of this, we could easily sink further and further into despair. Meditation can help us reset our minds and recalibrate our day just by taking a few moments to ourselves to watch our breath. One breath at a time.

As we go through our daily life we have things happen to us and it can be hard to remember that the things that happen to us do not have to define us. What matters most is not what happens to us but how we respond to what happens to us. This meditation aims to help the meditator return to balance. One breath at a time.

When we meditate, over time, we learn to observe our thoughts and not to get swept away by them. This meditation hopes to help the meditator re-center, re-balance into the present moment through breath.

When we talk about meditation, very often we say things like "awareness" or "consciousness" and we can very easily brush past what any of those things mean or feel like. This meditation hopes to help the meditator become more familiar with our true self, the part of us deep down inside that is just witnessing and observing our thoughts and feelings through out our day through active listening.

The saying goes "Expectation leads to disappointment, which leads to suffering". Yes but how do we deal with those feelings? How do we push past those complicated emotions because it is hard to go through life without becoming attached to the things we care about most? Breath, my friend. It is through the breath. One breath at a time.

When we find time to relax, we also find a deeper way into the present moment. This meditation hopes to help you get to a relaxed state where there is not time, place, or thing, just pure consciousness and pure awareness observing through breath. One breath at a time.

Stress, anxiety, worry, frustration, rage are all lower energy vibrations bringing us down all the time. If we are not careful, we can easily get swept away by those things, all while struggling to rise above them. Through meditation and mindfulness, we can remind ourselves not to dwell on those unproductive thoughts, feelings, and emotions to raise our vibrations with things like gratitude, joy, abundance. One breath at a time.

Sometimes life gets so hectic and we are pulled in so many directions at all times that it is easy to becaome detached from the reality, the purity of the present moment. It's easy to feel uprooted. This meditation hopes to help ground while repeated the mantra "I AM" to remind us that we are real. We are here and we are now. One breath at a time.

Each day is so full of putting fires out and dealing with problems that arise that it is very hard to remember to take some time to relax and clear our minds so we can go through the rest of the day with some balance, perspective, and clarity. Meditation can help us with one of the most important things we could do for ourselves, remember to take a rest between two deep breaths. One breath at a time.

Every single day, every single moment, our minds are spinning. We may not notice it all the time because we're busy being distracted by the every day chaos of life. But as soon as we sit down to meditate, to find some quiet stillness, there it is; our mind buzzing with thoughts. This may make us feel like we cannot meditate but the trick is to begin to find the space between the thought. It's called the gap and it, like our thoughts, is always there as well. Meditation can help us to recognize this gap and slip into it and over time we can learn to expand this gap. One breath at a time.

We hold on to so many things in our life. Childhood trauma, embarassments, failures, disappointments all take up so much space that we leave little room for the successes, gratitude, hope, possibility. This meditation hopes to help the meditator remember that life is a process of letting go. One breath at a time.

When we were born, we we born perfect. As we grow older and life begins to happen to us, we can very easily lose sight of our perfect true self. But the truth is that authentic, true version of ourselves never really leave us, it stays within. Our true self, our consciousness, our awareness is always there observing. This meditation aims to help us reconnect with our true self through our breath.

When we lose sight of what to be thankful for, we start to lose our ability to enjoy our life. When gratitude evades us, joy escapes us and we can slip into cynicism and scarcity. There is no happiness found in scarcity. This meditation hopes to help the listener return to the present moment to find themselves grateful for this breath, this time, this moment, this life.

Any time we decide to do something that will make us healthier, happier, more authentic, so often, we are met with resistance. That resistance manifests in many different ways. Fear, anxiety, insecurity but no matter how that resistance shows up in our lives, it is blocking us from becoming our true self. This meditation, inspired by a quote by Steven Pressfield, the author of The War of Art, aims to help us be more mindful of the resistance that is getting in our way so we can push past it and transcend our former selves.

Scarcity is when we are focused on the things we do not have. Abundance is when we are focused on the things we already have. This meditation hopes to help the meditator re-focus on the abundance we already have in our life. One breath at a time.

Those feelings over worry, fear, anxiety, stress, depression we all have canbe so overwhelming. We can forget they are temporary. They ebb and flow. But we can also forget that those feelings, while being real and true...they are not us. They do not define us. They are not who we are. We are the one who notices those feelings and emotions and reminding ourselves that can be a way to help move through them. This meditation hopes to help the meditator move through those complicated feelings to the other side. One breath at a time.

The present moment is always there. It is always waiting for us to return to the calm and stillness that is always there. Perpetually transmitting on the same frequency. It is only waiting for us to tune back in to it. This meditation hopes to give the meditator a few minutes of quiet and stillness and help to get back to that feeling of presence. The feeling of here and now. One breath at a time.

We get so focused on the big goal that it is very easy to lose sight of all the little achievements we accomplish on the way. Really, each little decision we make, each step, each hurdle we make it over should be celebrated just as much because it is they that truly get us there. This meditation hopes to help the meditator remember that a goal is full of little goals along the way just as a day is gull of minutes, hours, seconds which is why we practice taking things one breath at a time.

The day is full. Times are tough. It is very easy to remember that the thing we seek, is inside of us...it's just burried beneath alll the heavier parts, drowned out by all the noiser parts of our life. But if you pause and listen to your body, it is there. That never-ending, always present stillness is no further away than right inside of us. It waits for uspatiently to return to it. One breath at a time.

We pile so much on ourselves throughout our life and run so many filters at every moment of the day that it is very easy to lose sight of the truth, our true selves. This meditation is a variation on the Flow Writing ecersize, where you sit down to write, uninterrupted for a set time. The pen doesn't stop moving, no matter what. The variation is that we will do this as a pure though exersize. Using the prompt "what are you pretending not to know?" and just see where your mind takes you. One breath at a time.

They say the hardest part is showing up. It may not seem like it because many times what we have to show up for is hard or unpleasant or stressful but the discipline required to show up for difficult things is huge. It does require epic discipline to show up to do the things that hard hard. Once you decide to do it, the rest is worth it. But discipline takes mindfulness. It requires us to be able to take a step back and understand that this may be hard but I will feel so much better after I've accomplished it. This meditation hopes to help the meditator achieve that new level of discipline. One breath at a time.

When we lose sight of what to be thankful for, we start to lose our ability to enjoy our life. When gratitude evades us, joy escapes us and we can slip into cynicism and scarcity. There is no happiness found in scarcity. This meditation hopes to help the listener return to the present moment to find themselves grateful for this breath, this time, this moment, this life.

Any time we decide to do something that will make us healthier, happier, more authentic, so often, we are met with resistance. That resistance manifests in many different ways. Fear, anxiety, insecurity but no matter how that resistance shows up in our lives, it is blocking us from becoming our true self. This meditation, inspired by a quote by Steven Pressfield, the author of The War of Art, aims to help us be more mindful of the resistance that is getting in our way so we can push past it and transcend our former selves.

The way the world is going these days, it is very easy to forget where we are and that we are right here and right now. This meditation uses the mantra So Hum (I AM) to remind us that we are real, we are here, and we are now.

In this relaxing meditation, we slow things way down with a full body scan. We will use our breath to focus our energy and attention on specific areas of the body, tuning in to them one by one, relaxing each area as we move our way through the body. As we follow our breath in and out, we find a way in to the only true moment, the present. This meditation is intended to help you unwind at the end of a busy day or even just to take a few moments to invite some peace and stillness into your day.

We spend most of our lives afraid. We spend most of our lives worrying about what has been or what could be. We spend our life thinking about all the bad things that are possible. But we very often forget the other side of possibility. All the good things that could happen. Good or bad, neither are true, unless we say so. This meditation hopes to help remind us that we have the universe inside of us and to ask the question how much better could things get? One breath at a time.

When we are feeling low, our vibrations are low. Those feelings of fear, sadness, depression, anxiety, boredom are all sucking our energy and keeping us vibrating at a lower level. All while disconnecting us from the present moment. Connecting to the present, raises our vibration. We start to feel joy, gratitude, inspired, optimistic, and enthusiastic for what is to come. The present moment is there, always singing in a perfect pitch, waiting for us to tune in to it. This meditation hopes to help the meditator practice that connection with the present moment so we can be more in unison with our life. One breath at a time.

Life doesn't always go to plan. In fact, life rarely seems to go to plan. We can't let those little bumps in the road, or even huge obstacles keep us from moving forward in our life. We need to be able to shift into another gear, change lanes, or take another route. This meditation hopes to help remind us that there is always another way. There is always plan B. One breath at a time.

Self discipline is the only way to form new habits and achieve new goals. Keeping your word with yourself is the first step towards being able to keep your word with others. Many times we can get swept away by the daily struggle and days, weeks, months can go by in between steps towards progress. Meditation can help form new patterns of behavior, to break free of unproductive thoughts and habits. One breath at a time.

When we are overcome with emotion it is very easy to lose sight of the fact that the pain is temporary but if we can learn that our pain and emotions come and go in waves, perhaps we can gain some mindfulness and perspective as we experience those things in the moment. This meditation aims to help the meditator remember to ride the wave of the present moment.

Negativity can pile up on us through out our life. So much so that it is very easy to start to believe that nothing good will ever happen. People will suggest affirmations and law of attraction and many are skeptical that those things will ever work for them. The trust is that they will work only if we believe they will. They won't work, if we believe they won't. We have to retain ourselves to not feel silly thinking positively. That silly feeling is resistance and cynicism creeping back in. This meditation aims to help the meditator regain some peace and balance while reminding them that good things can happen, if only you just believe they can.

Sometimes when we get overwhelmed by the things happening in our life, we can very easily get sucked into freezing up, not knowing what to do or where to go next and we begin to stagnate in that feeling of insecurity and if we are not careful, that feeling can become our new normal and the next thing we know, that's just how we feel all the time. This meditation hopes to remind the meditator that the easiest way to snap yourself out of that feeling is to keep moving forward, one breath at a time.

Holding on to expectations is one of the fastest way to ensure our suffering and one of the fastest ways to ensure our peace of mind is to let go of those expectations. It is easier said than done but it is possible through practice of meditation. This meditation hopes to help with the letting go by following our breath.

Our life can carry us away when we aren't looking. The mindfulness we get from practicing meditation can very easily point us back in the direction of the present moment that we can loose sight of so easily. The breath is our compass. In and out. In and out.

In the day to day grind of our life, it is very easy to loose sight of things we are grateful for. The truth is that no matter how bad things are, no matter the struggle, there is still room for gratitude. Through gratitude comes joy and joy is the path to being in love with our life.

When we sit down to meditate, we are trying to get to a place of stillness, calm, and silence to easier place ourselves in the present moment. In the present moment, we gain clarity and balance and one way into that place of calm is silence. This meditation hopes to assist the meditator to get to that place. Listen to the silence.

So often, in our lives, we get bogged down in the negative thinking so much that we can convince ourselves that nothing good will ever happen, the the only thing possible is disappointment. This is because over time we have convinced ourselves to only believe in the negative. But there is another side of possibility and in there lies all the hope and good we can see in our live. The only thing that changes is what we choose to believe in. This meditation hopes to help the meditator shift their focus into the possibility of good.

In between stimulus and response, there is a space. There is a space to be found in between our thoughts. There is a space between inhale and exhale. We call this place The Gap. The gap is where we feel present and aware. Not thinking, not worrying, just absorbing and observing, just living in that space of pure conscious awareness. This meditation aims to help the meditator find their way into that space through practice of breath.

So many times we find ourselves getting stuck in negative and unproductive thought patterns. If we aren't careful or mindful of this, we could easily sink further and further into despair. Mediation can help us reset our minds and recalibrate our day just by taking a few moments to ourselves to watch our breath.

As we go through our daily life we have things happen to us and it can be hard to remember that the things that happen to us do not have to define us. What matters most is not what happens to us but how we respond to what happens to us. This meditation aims to help the meditator return to balance.
