Part 5 – GUIDED MEDITATION – Returning to the center
1 – The opening of silence
Find a quiet space.
Let your body settle, as if it’s finally allowed to rest.
The shoulders drop. The face softens.
You don’t need to do anything — just allow.
Silence begins to unfold around you like a soft blanket.
This silence isn’t empty; it’s alive.
Listen — the world is still here,
but for this moment, it’s holding its breath with you.
2 – Watching the mind
Thoughts will come.
They always do.
Let them rise and pass — shapes on the sky of your mind.
No need to chase them or push them away.
Just notice them,
as you would notice the breeze brushing your skin.
The more you watch, the more space you find.
Between thoughts, there is an open sky.
That’s where peace waits.
3 – The body as temple
Bring awareness to your body.
Feel the weight of it, supported by the earth.
The spine stands tall, not from effort, but from trust.
Your body is your home —
the temple that carries you through every moment.
Send it gratitude.
It listens, even when you don’t speak.
Every breath it takes is an act of love.
4 – Returning to the light within
Now imagine a light in your chest —
small at first, but steady.
With every inhale, it grows brighter.
With every exhale, it expands beyond the body.
This light is awareness itself.
It has no beginning, no end —
it has only presence.
Let it fill you completely.
You’re not creating it; you’re remembering it.
5 – Closing: The silence that remains
Stay here for a while.
Feel the calm spreading through your body,
like soft ripples over still water.
There is nothing to fix, nothing to reach.
This moment is whole, just as it is.
When you’re ready, open your eyes slowly —
carry this quiet light with you.
Wherever you go, it goes with you.
Guided Meditation is not about escaping thought —
it’s about remembering the stillness that has always lived beneath it.
