To open up the space for a silent mind,

We first need to release the thoughts that currently take up the space.

So this meditation is a visualization practice to help you let go of the thoughts.

So relax,

And settle into a position that’s comfortable for you.

PAUSE…

Release your jaw,

Soften your belly,

Drop your shoulders,

And relax your back. 

PAUSE…

Breathe…

PAUSE…

See if you can imagine yourself sitting on the bank of a river.

The grass is green and soft under you.

The sun blankets you with a welcoming warmth,

And the wind softly kisses your cheeks. 

PAUSE…

Hear the gentle noises of the river,

As you sit here peacefully,

And quietly.

PAUSE…

Bubbling up out of nowhere,

Begins your thoughts.

Wanting to plan out your day,

Wanting to organize,

Wanting to worry.

PAUSE…

As you feel them arise,

Imagine each of them becoming a leaf,

Hugging the air as they fall gently into the river.

PAUSE…

And then observe those leaves - your thoughts - 

Being carried down the river,

One by one,

As you let them go,

As you remain on the bank of the river.

Calm, 

Peaceful. 

Free.

PAUSE…

Let them go, 

Each of those leaves of thoughts.

Let them fall into the river, 

And float downstream,

Away from you,

As you remain here,

Whole.

Still.

LONG PAUSE…

Now come inside,

And feel the lightness in your heart,

And the open space of your silent mind.

Namaste, Beautiful
