Meditation Script:
Today, take a moment to find a piece of music you enjoy and
play that during this guided meditation. Or, keep in mind some piece of music
you enjoy and imagine it playing in the background of this guided meditation. As
you settle into a position that is both relaxing and supportive, find a few
deep breaths in and out through your nose. Filling up the belly, feel the front
and back ribs expand as you breathe in. Feel the belly draw gently in, ribs
pulling back to center as you fully breathe out.
Keeping in mind the music playing, whether through some
speaker in the space you’re in or in your mind, isolate one instrument. Notice
the tone, the rhythm, the speed, the pitch. Is this the only instrument or are
other instruments also present in the piece of music? If there are multiple
instruments, pick out another instrument. Notice the tone, the rhythm, the
speed, the pitch. Notice how much you are able to maintain focus on one instrument.
Notice any thoughts that arrive distracting you from focus. Notice the thought,
attaching no value judgement, then let the thought pass as you redirect your
focus back to the instrument.
Notice any physical movement the music inspires in your
body. Lean into that movement. Give yourself permission to move, perhaps
opening your eyes if they’re closed to look around your space as you move your
body. Let yourself move to your music. Notice your movement without attaching
any value judgment to how you’re moving. How does your body feel as you move.
Notice areas of tension or stiffness. Notice areas of ease, where you feel
relaxed in your body as you move.
Continue to move freely, perhaps with more and more freedom,
the more you move, say to yourself, “May I hear the music. May I feel the music.
May I move to the music.” Find a deep breath in, deep breath out. Now bringing
to mind loved ones, imagine saying to them, “May you hear the music. May you
feel the music. May you move to the music.” And once more, now observing your
connection to all life, speaking to yourself and all life, “May we hear the
music. May we feel the music. May we move to the music.”
Find a deep breath in, deep breath out. May the music of
life move in and through you throughout your day. Thank you for meditating with
me. Peace.
