So Let’s Begin…
COME OUT OF THE DARK: A MEDITATION TO SHIFT YOUR MOOD MEDITATION SCRIPT
Let your eyes close,
And sink into the Earth,
Let it hold you with care.
Feel your breath slow,
As it softens your heart,
Cleansing you with cool, fresh air.
PAUSE
Now sit for a bit,
As you steady your mind,
Just notice the bursts of thoughts.
Observe the weight,
Of frustration or fear,
Whatever dark you come across.
PAUSE
It’s likely these thoughts,
Have spread their energy,
Feel the weight of their pull.
But as you observe,
With a little space,
You can now see some good.
LONG PAUSE
So open your eyes,
And let your gaze find,
Something that wants to be seen.
Leaves in the wind,
A cloud floating by,
Or something that’s usually routine.
PAUSE
Now breathe in a breath,
That brings you right here,
Appreciation begins to rise.
For what your eyes see,
The way the light moves,
The feeling of sweet surprise.
PAUSE
Can you feel it move?
The darkness of your mood?
You’re just a breath away,
From more joy in your day.
LONG PAUSE
Now I wonder if you might,
Imagine what’s gone right,
As you think about the past few days.
Or maybe you can smile,
As you think about your child,
Or a friend who’s given you some praise.
PAUSE
Let your focus expand,
From everything that’s wrong,
So it now includes sparks of light.
What other blessings,
Can you observe in your life?
The small ones as well as the bright.
LONG PAUSE
Notice the cool spread,
As it lightens your head.
Feel waves of good,
As they shift your mood.
LONG PAUSE
If you sit long enough,
You’ll eventually find,
The stillness that exists inside.
It’s always right here,
For you to remember,
Everything’s okay, and you will be fine.
PAUSE
Now bring yourself back,
To the rhythm of your breath,
And feel the lightness in your bones.
Choose one thing to take,
As you walk through your day,
Knowing that love is your home.
LONG PAUSE
Namaste, Beautiful
