Welcome. Find a comfortable position now. You can be seated or lying down, whatever feels most restful for you.
Allow your body to settle. Gently close your eyes, or soften your gaze if that feels better.
Bring your awareness to your breath. No need to change it, just notice the gentle rhythm of your inhales and exhales.
Feel the air entering your nostrils, perhaps cool. And feel it leaving your nostrils, perhaps warm.
Notice the subtle rise and fall of your chest or abdomen with each breath.
As you continue to breathe, allow your shoulders to relax. Let go of any tension you might be holding there.
Soften your jaw. Release any clenching.
Let your forehead smooth out.
Now, we're going to bring our focus to a single point of stillness within. Imagine a soft, gentle light at the center of your mind.
This light is a beacon of pure clarity. As you inhale, imagine this light growing a little brighter.
As you exhale, imagine this light becoming a little more steady and unwavering.
If your mind begins to wander, and it will, that is perfectly natural. Simply notice the thought without judgment.
And then, gently guide your attention back to the light of clarity.
It's like a gentle shepherd guiding a flock back to the pasture.
This light represents your innate capacity for focus and understanding. It is always there, beneath the surface of everyday thoughts and distractions.
With each breath, you are nurturing this inner light. You are strengthening your ability to see things as they are, without the interference of cluttered thinking.
Feel the quietness that begins to emerge. A sense of spaciousness within your mind.
There is no need to strive or force anything. Simply allow yourself to be present with this feeling of growing stillness.
Let the breath continue its natural flow, supporting this sense of inner peace and clear awareness.
Notice the subtle energy that circulates within you, a calm and focused energy.
You are building a reservoir of mental clarity that you can draw upon throughout your day.
As we prepare to conclude this meditation, take a moment to appreciate this feeling of focus and calm.
Know that you can return to this inner sanctuary anytime you wish, simply by bringing your awareness back to your breath and this inner light.
Gently begin to deepen your breath.
Wiggle your fingers and toes.
And when you feel ready, slowly open your eyes, bringing this sense of focus and clarity back into your waking awareness.
