So Let’s Begin…

WHEN YOU’RE OVERSTIMULATED MEDITATION SCRIPT

Invite yourself to settle, 

And sink into your breath. 

Ease into its slow, gentle rhythm.

In and out, 

Nice and easy. 

Your chest expanding and contracting,

As it relaxes you,

And calms you. 

PAUSE

Feel your body melt,

As all those little pieces of tension, noise or heaviness,

Float away with your breath. 

And allow yourself to sink further into peace.

LONG PAUSE

Notice the space in your mind.

Alive and moving with details, 

Invisible tasks, 

Plans and worries. 

PAUSE

Just observe them all buzzing around, 

Lit up with energy,

Wanting to move,

Creating energy and heat as they buzz. 

Just watch them all,

Without judgment,

Without needing to make sense of it,

Just observe. 

PAUSE

Now take a deep breath…

And as you do, 

Imagine all these little buzzing thoughts in your head,

Slowing down,

And softening,

Melting into your buttery breath,

And leaving your body on your exhale,

Their buzz, their energy completely gone. 

PAUSE

Breathe in deep again, 

Melting even more buzzing thoughts,

Into the rivers of air moving through you,

Extracting them from your body on your long breath out. 

Breathe…

Over and over again for a few more deep breaths,

Using your breath to gather your thoughts, 

And release them from you. 

LONG PAUSE

Now see if you can feel,

The layers of thickness on your skin. 

The noise, 

The demands,

The responsibilities, 

The touches.

They’re all piled upon you,

Making you feel crowded,

Stuck, 

And weighed down. 

PAUSE

Feel the heaviness,

Feel the layers,

As they warm and gently vibrate,

Letting you know they are separate from you,

And ready to release. 

PAUSE

Little sips of air aren’t enough to sustain,

Expansive breaths will dissolve the pain. 

PAUSE

So breathe in deep, 

Letting your healing breath, 

Reach into every part of your body.

Hold your breath for just a few moments…

And then exhale,

And as you do, feel those layers let go,

And release,

Disappearing as they drift away in the wind. 

PAUSE

Another deep breath, 

Inviting your breath to fill you once again.

Hold it for just a few seconds…

And then release,

Letting your breath release even more layers.

PAUSE

Now ease into the natural rhythm of your breath once again,

And continue to feel those layers of heaviness peel away and release,

One exhale at a time.

Breathe in and gather, 

Breathe out and release. 

Breathe in and clear,

Breathe out and release. 

Feeling lighter, 

And lighter,

With each circular breath. 

LONG LONG PAUSE

Space around your body,

Stillness in your mind.

Silence rejuvenates,

You are now aligned. 

LONG PAUSE

Space around your body,

Stillness in your mind.

Silence rejuvenates,

You are now aligned. 

Namaste, Beautiful
