00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,559
Speaker 1: Welcome. Thank you for taking this time to sit with

2
00:00:04,719 --> 00:00:09,800
yourself to day, find a comfortable possession, and let your

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:15,400
eyes close. There is nowhere else to be, nothing else

4
00:00:15,519 --> 00:00:22,079
to do, just this moment and your own steady presents.

5
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:28,760
Take a breath in and feel your body settling. Another

6
00:00:28,879 --> 00:00:33,799
breath and feel yourself sinking a little deeper into calm.

7
00:00:34,759 --> 00:00:38,439
You don't have to create calm, You simply have to

8
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:44,560
stop disturbing it, and so with each breath you are

9
00:00:44,679 --> 00:00:48,759
letting go of the need to do anything at all.

10
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,840
Close your eyes and notice what it feels like to

11
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:58,439
sit with calm, not to chase it or manufacture it,

12
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,359
but to simply with it, to allow it to be here,

13
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,239
the way you would allow a beloved friend to sit

14
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:13,920
quietly beside you. Calm is always here. It is your

15
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:19,159
default state, your natural resting place, but we often cover

16
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:24,319
it over with noise, with activity, with a constant hum

17
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:30,840
of doing. And so this meditation is a practice of uncovering,

18
00:01:31,079 --> 00:01:36,239
of gently brushing away the noise to reveal the calm

19
00:01:36,719 --> 00:01:41,159
that has been waiting beneath. I am learning to sit

20
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:46,000
with calm. I am discovering that calm is not something

21
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:49,799
I need to travel to It is right here in

22
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,719
my own body, in this breath, in this moment, I

23
00:01:54,799 --> 00:02:00,560
only need to pass, I only need to sit, and

24
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:06,239
calm is here, ready to welcome me home. Bring your

25
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,520
attention to the feeling of calm in your body. Perhaps

26
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:15,000
it is in your chest, a soft warmth. Perhaps it

27
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:20,560
is in your belly, a gentle heaviness. Perhaps it is

28
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:26,000
simply a feeling of quiet, a softening around the edges

29
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:31,319
of your thoughts. Where does calm live in you right now?

30
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:38,039
Notice it, Sit with it, Let it be here, without

31
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,520
needing to name it or understand it. You don't need

32
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,360
to do anything with this calm. You only need to

33
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,240
be with it, to let it be here, and to

34
00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:54,400
let yourself be here with it. I am learning to

35
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:59,400
sit with calm. To day, when the world gets noisy,

36
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:04,439
I can return to this place. I can sit with calm,

37
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,120
just for a moment and remember who I am. Beneath

38
00:03:09,199 --> 00:03:14,840
the noise, I breathe in. Calm is here, I sit,

39
00:03:15,439 --> 00:03:21,280
and I am home. Take one final breath, feeling calm

40
00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:27,039
settling into your body, and as you open your eyes,

41
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:33,520
let this feeling remain. You are learning to sit with calm,

42
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,159
and it is learning to live in you,
