Speaker 1: Welcome. Thank you for taking this time to sit with
yourself to day, find a comfortable possession, and let your
eyes close. There is nowhere else to be, nothing else
to do, just this moment and your own steady presents.
Take a breath in and feel your body settling. Another
breath and feel yourself sinking a little deeper into calm.
You don't have to create calm, You simply have to
stop disturbing it, and so with each breath you are
letting go of the need to do anything at all.
Close your eyes and notice what it feels like to
sit with calm, not to chase it or manufacture it,
but to simply with it, to allow it to be here,
the way you would allow a beloved friend to sit
quietly beside you. Calm is always here. It is your
default state, your natural resting place, but we often cover
it over with noise, with activity, with a constant hum
of doing. And so this meditation is a practice of uncovering,
of gently brushing away the noise to reveal the calm
that has been waiting beneath. I am learning to sit
with calm. I am discovering that calm is not something
I need to travel to It is right here in
my own body, in this breath, in this moment, I
only need to pass, I only need to sit, and
calm is here, ready to welcome me home. Bring your
attention to the feeling of calm in your body. Perhaps
it is in your chest, a soft warmth. Perhaps it
is in your belly, a gentle heaviness. Perhaps it is
simply a feeling of quiet, a softening around the edges
of your thoughts. Where does calm live in you right now?
Notice it, Sit with it, Let it be here, without
needing to name it or understand it. You don't need
to do anything with this calm. You only need to
be with it, to let it be here, and to
let yourself be here with it. I am learning to
sit with calm. To day, when the world gets noisy,
I can return to this place. I can sit with calm,
just for a moment and remember who I am. Beneath
the noise, I breathe in. Calm is here, I sit,
and I am home. Take one final breath, feeling calm
settling into your body, and as you open your eyes,
let this feeling remain. You are learning to sit with calm,
and it is learning to live in you,
