So Let’s Begin…
MINDFUL OF TIME MEDITATION SCRIPT
Slowly breathe in
a deep, opening breath.
Let the breath
radiate throughout
your body,
opening areas of stress.
PAUSE
Now, see that breath
opening and relaxing
your mind,
creating pathways
of connections
while you’re calm and peaceful.
PAUSE
Take a minute,
And, imagine, if you can,
A clock on the wall.
A clock with
hour, second, and minute hands
PAUSE
Keep watching the clock,
observing as each
second and minute advance.
If a stray thought
creeps into your mind,
gently dust it away
and re-focus on the clock.
PAUSE
Now, observe
your level of focus.
Are you able to
dust away extraneous thoughts?
Or, do they keep interrupting you?
Avoid judging yourself or
stressing over your thoughts.
Just observe, breathe, and focus.
PAUSE
Take a deep breath,
and shift your focus
away from the clock.
Observe how your body feels.
Are you less stressed?
Continue reflecting
on how focused you were
watching the clock.
PAUSE
Breathe deeply again.
And, this time,
visualize how productive
you would be
with this level
of focus throughout your day.
PAUSE
Now, allow yourself to think about
how much less stressed
you would be
if you practiced this daily.
What do you think?
PAUSE
Now, imagine having
a secret toolbox
in your mind,
A toolbox you can
open at will.
And, inside, the toolbox
is your mindfulness practice–
your clock to focus on.
Look closely at the toolbox
and observe how you open it.
PAUSE
Take a deep breath now,
and acknowledge
the power of
your mindfulness toolbox.
Give thanks for its ability
to enhance your focus,
lessen your stress,
and to help you manage time
every day.
NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL
