Calming Meditation

I haven't shared a calming meditation with you in quite a while, so this Sunday morning let's turn to a Chinese proverb...
Outside noisy, inside empty.
For the next seven days (or more if you like), focus on the difference between the noise in the world and the empty quiet place behind your mind.

To become aware of your quiet place, take a long, slow, deep breath, focus on the pause between breaths, and feel your consciousness shift.

Repeat this conscious breathing exercise three to six times and slow yourself way down.

There, there it is.

The inside empty that is the real you, the real you have not noticed most of the time because of the outside noisy.

Stay with your inside empty as long as you can.

There's peace there.

And it's never more than a few breaths away.

Until next time,

Chet
