So Let’s Begin…

SOUNDS MEDITATION SCRIPT

Come to your center,
Gathering your thoughts,
Opening your mind,
And allowing peace
To fill you.

PAUSE

Focus on the peace
Within you.
And, as you do,
Open yourself
To listening.

PAUSE

Begin by listening
To your body.
Do you hear
The gentle rumble
Of waves in your stomach,
Or the soft whistle of your breath,
Or the beating of your heart?

Just pause and listen.

PAUSE

And now,
Turn your attention outward.

What sounds are you aware of
In your room?

Is the air conditioner humming?

Is rain pitter pattering against the window?

Is water whooshing into a sink?

Maybe you hear a car passing by,
Or the chatter of neighbors.

Just take it all in.

PAUSE

Now, breathe,
And imagine, if you can,
Going outside your house
In the morning?

What sounds of morning are there?

Perhaps, the cicadas are singing?

Maybe a squirrel scurries by,
Rustling the grass.

Maybe you hear a neighbor
Hammering on their house.

Or, a dog barks when it spies
A cat.

Just take it all in.
Let yourself be bathed
In these beautiful sounds
Of morning.

PAUSE

Now, breathe,
And shift.
Allow yourself
To open your eyes
And see
All the beauty
You’ve been listening to.

And, take a moment
To be grateful
Before going about your day.

NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
