A contemplative ‘prose’ meditation guides you with descriptive cues and inspired thought ideas that allow you to be investigative, then to return to your breathing for a time, then to be investigative, and to again return to your breathing.
A contemplative = ‘prose’ meditation also encourages self-reflection, asking some form of the question, ‘Who Am I?’
Each time you experience this meditation, notice its effects.
Notice your ability to delve deeper; to witness your consciousness, and to experience precisely what you need in the present moment. Namaste!
“in the stillness of my mind i am peaceful – i am calm
i curate stillness as i become still in my body; as i find a comfortable place to be – to feel the presence of what i am – i am here for a time – simply following the movement of my inhalation and my exhalation; in the beautiful presence of stillness and yet soft movement; breath flowing into and out from my body.
as i hold my attention onto my breath for a time, i feel freedom – freedom from my thoughts, freedom from any and all worries – freedom to be unto myself – freedom to be in the presence and pureness of this moment.
as i breathe each breath in stillness, in the stillness of my mind – i am one with each inhalation, i am present with each exhalation.
my body is still, my mind softly follows my breath; my mind is able to focus on the freedom of breath – always present – always with me – always in gentle harmony with my being.
in the stillness of my body, i feel a return to calm; to this moment; to my inner presence – i simply allow my breath to guide me;
‘breathe for a time feeling the gentle rhythm of your breath’
as you are following the movement of breath flowing into and out from you, you witness a quieting – a softening – a stillness of your mind; let your mind be at one with your breath – and to return to your breath whenever you move away from the feeling of stillness, of quiet – of calm.
let it be your practice to simply notice where your attention is; let it be your choice to hold attention onto your breathing – to the one experience that you are having in stillness.
let this be how you witness both stillness and calm, motion and flow; joy and peace.”
