Welcome to a quick five minute reset. The meditation for non-meditators and those
Steven Webb:
00:00:09
that cannot shut off their mind.
Steven Webb:
00:00:14
So first of all, let's just relax into this moment.
Steven Webb:
00:00:20
Just allow your shoulders to relax. Allow your arms to relax.
Steven Webb:
00:00:28
Allow your face to relax.
Steven Webb:
00:00:31
And bring your focus to your breath.
Steven Webb:
00:00:41
Notice that you're breathing in
Steven Webb:
00:00:45
And notice you're breathing out.
Steven Webb:
00:00:51
And remember you don't have to force your body to relax. Just allow your muscles to relax and they know
Steven Webb:
00:00:57
what to do.
Steven Webb:
00:01:08
And as you feel your body relaxing on each out breath, just imagine breathing in calm and breathing out relax.
Steven Webb:
00:01:19
And relax.
Steven Webb:
00:01:28
Allow your face to relax.
Steven Webb:
00:01:36
And even the muscles around your eyes and your jaw and your neck.
Steven Webb:
00:01:49
Notice how everything becomes slightly quieter.
Steven Webb:
00:02:06
Notice you don't have to do anything to quieten your mind. You just have to allow your body to relax
Steven Webb:
00:02:12
and bring your attention to your breath. And your mind automatically goes quiet by itself.
Steven Webb:
00:02:24
And if your mind does wander, just smile. And thank you for the thought. Really appreciate it. And just bring
Steven Webb:
00:02:31
it back to your breath.
Steven Webb:
00:02:36
Your mind's got a job. Your mind's job is to think.
Steven Webb:
00:02:47
We shouldn't ever get frustrated with the mind thinking. We just give it something to do and just invite it
Steven Webb:
00:02:54
to sit with us while we just focus on our breath,
Steven Webb:
00:03:01
breathing in calm, breathing out relaxed.
Steven Webb:
00:03:34
And if something does grab your attention like a sound coming in, a taste or maybe an itch, just appreciate
Steven Webb:
00:03:41
the fact that it was there, that you were able to notice it and smile and bring it back to
Steven Webb:
00:03:47
your breath. I'm breathing in and
Steven Webb:
00:03:52
I'm breathing out.
Steven Webb:
00:03:55
You don't have to do anything with your breath.
Steven Webb:
00:04:01
Your body knows how to breathe.
Steven Webb:
00:04:13
And in a moment, we're just going to come back and look around and be part of the environment again.
Steven Webb:
00:04:18
And there you go. We've just meditated. We've just had that quiet moment. And notice how your mind quietens
Steven Webb:
00:04:26
down all by itself. When we sit down to try and quieten the mind, the mind thinks that's like a
Steven Webb:
00:04:33
party. But if we sit down and quiet in the body, the mind just goes okay I can do this.
Steven Webb:
00:04:39
It's
Steven Webb:
00:04:41
a nice little trick to have. Whenever you need a little time out, just go and relax. Breathe in calm.
Steven Webb:
00:04:48
Breathe out, relax. And there you go. I'm Steven Webb, the host of Stillness in the Storms podcast. Podcast
