No goal here. Nothing to achieve. Not even relaxing, because that would be doing something. Easier said than done, and I know it.

About 13 minutes with Steven Webb's calm voice.

We have built a world where even sitting down to relax is a task on the list. So this one asks for nothing at all. The breath comes and goes, sounds come and go, and the thought that says this is a waste of time comes and goes too. You let all of it. What is left is a moment with no pressure in it anywhere.

Welcome to the Do Nothing Meditation. It's a journey to the heart of the present moment.

And as we embark on this meditation, remember that there is no goal to this meditation.

There's nothing to accomplish.

You're just going to simply be, just observe and allow yourself and the experience and the beauty of this moment

to be just as it is.

So there isn't even the intention to relax or the intention to do anything at all.

Easier said than done. I totally understand.

While you're finding a comfortable position,

You can choose to gently close your eyes or

just soften your gaze a few feet in front of you

And just notice your breath.

Notice how it breathes in and out.

Notice that it just happens whether you're aware of it or not.

Notice that you don't have to do anything with it.

You may notice how this moment just becomes quieter by itself.

Just by doing nothing with this moment.

You may notice the way your body just moves back and forward very slightly.

You may notice sounds around you.

Whether it's your awareness of your breath or awareness of the sounds, awareness

of my words.

Be okay with whatever that awareness is.

And remembering you don't have to do anything with It

We spend most of our lives thinking we've got to do something with everything.

Even when we sit down to relax, we've got to sit down and relax.

Created a world where everybody is busy and everybody's doing something.

And when we sit down to do nothing,

We almost always find something to do.

And if you find your mind wandering, just do nothing with it.

Just be totally aware with whatever's coming up.

Just observing the sensation of breathing.

Observing your thoughts.

You may notice as feelings are rising

There may be desires to do something with this moment.

There may be feelings of this may be a waste of time.

And all these things are okay. Allow

them to be and do nothing with them.

Just like as if you're watching an object on the side

And you don't have to do anything with it.

What a beautiful feeling to have.

What a beautiful conscious awareness moment to have.

As your breath comes and goes,

The sounds of my voice comes and goes

the Thoughts come and go

The Sounds come and go.

The uncomfortableness of sitting comes and goes.

And you notice that every single thing that you become aware of is not really permanent.

It can almost go just as quick as it arrived.

And doing nothing is like having an equal balance between the world around us and the world within us.

There's no pressure.

There's no feeling of expansion. There's no feeling of... Pushing in either.

It's just accepting this present moment for all the beauty it is.

And even accepting the present moment is almost doing something.

If you've been mindful and thinking of this moment as a

beautiful moment, that's doing something.

Even if it's really subtle.

And now we are going to do something for a moment.

I'm going to go through three affirmations.

Knowing you don't have to do anything with this moment I'm recognising the beauty in this moment.

And let these words really sink into your heart, resonating with every part of your body.

And the first one is,

I'm present.

I am present.

Just as I am.

Just as I am.

I embrace the beauty of this moment.

I embrace the beauty of this moment

As this meditation comes to a close, and

aware of how calm you already are,

aware of how ready you are for the rest of the day,

Be aware that just doing nothing with the present moment is also doing something.

But what a gift it is to not have to have the pressure or intention of doing something.

You are totally free in this moment.

So take a moment to notice how you feel.

Remember The peace and stillness you may experience in this meditation.

It's always with you.

It's accessible at any time. You can just...

Bring your awareness to your breath and just recognise for the next few minutes you don't have to do anything.

And as you move through your day, carry this essence with you. The Do Nothing Meditation. Let it remind you

of your power in the present moment. The beauty of any present moment and the wisdom that arises from simply

just being.

That simply being in this moment is so powerful.

There's so much joy and compassion and Peacefulness in any given moment if we just

allow ourselves to see it for the beauty it is.

As you gently open your eyes, shake out your arms and just look around the room and recognise how much

of your day that you think you've got to do something and you really don't have to

just takes a lot of the pressure away.
