18. Ripples into infinity

Episode 18  Ripples into infinity

We set goals and look for finite milestones in our journey in life.  These milestones direct us through planning and execution to control and measure the progress on our path to success.  They also trap us from being free to realise the infinite possibilities beyond our mindsets.  Imagine the ripples on the pond created by drops of water from the leaf of a tree above. Each droplets strengthen the ripples, creating gentle waves that pushes further and further with one beginning and no ending.

The Monkey Mind is meditation podcast to train the mind to slow down and be Still.  When the mind is Still  clarity arises, and we experience a sense of inner peace and happiness.

This is a production of TheCEOMonk.com the publisher of the book:  “A CEO, an Entrepreneur, a Tourist and the Monk.

Its inner peace time.

Find a quiet corner where you feel safe and would have minimal disturbance.

Sit comfortably on a chair or on a cushion on the floor in a meditation posture.

Slowly and gently take in a few deep breathe.  Feel the air entering your body and releases through your lips 

As you breathe in and out…. Feel all your muscles relaxing. 

Allow your eye lids to close, touching gently without squeezing them too tight. 

Just simply relax and be aware of your breathe… inhale and exhale… inhale and exhale . in and out

Allowing everything to slow down.  And notice the relaxation around your eyebrows… spreading slowly to the muscles around your eyes.  Let your cheeks muscles relax as your jaws slacken and your tongue relaxed inside your mouth. Put a gentle smile on your lips as every muscles on your face is completely relaxed.

Continue relaxing the muscles as we scan the body … relax the muscles on your neck, shoulders, chest, the shoulder blades along the spine down to the lower spine, the hips.  … Relax the muscles on your arms all the way to the tips of your fingers.  Relax the muscles on your Buttocks to your thigh, calves and all the way to the tips of your toes.  Relaxxxx.  Allow this nice feelings to spread throughout the body. Relax… relaxxx.  Whenever any part of your muscles feels strain, just shift your body weight and readjust till you are comfortable.

Let it flow, gently and naturally.  Let it go. Let it be.

Imagine that your body is like an empty vessel… hollow… empty with no bones nor organs. 

Your body is just an outline  against the environment.  Slowly the outline of your body begin to fade … becoming transparent.. blending into the background. 

At the center of you body is a bright source of light. Like a candle in a dark of night.

Illuminating the surrounding with its pure brightness.  You are the source of this brightness, sending ripples of light all around you. Spreading wider and wider. With each breathe the ripples spread wider and further. Illuminating the room… the house.. and the neighbourhood.

Keeping your awareness  in the middle of the source.. feeling very calm, relaxed, and still.

Feel the calmness and peacefulness at the center of the body, where the air that your breathe in fills up inside your abdomen

 

There is no need to do anything.

Just surrender to the feelings of peace, happiness, lightness, brightness

Let these good sensation inside you ripples into infinity like rays of light illuminating the neighbourhood around you.

Let go of any thoughts you may have …. by bringing your focus back to the breathe, following the air into your body and out of your body.

Let them go… just stay with the breathe

The breathe is the only activity that is real right now at this present moment.  Nothing else matters more than this very moment in time.   

Breath naturally. Sensing the relaxation of the entire body. 

Feeling light, soft and peaceful.  Spreading.

Feeling the stillness and lightness spreading 

From the center of your body…. clear, soft and bright … gentle ripples spreading

Just being there. Let it be. Do nothing..

Continue to enjoy this sensation in silence till the end of time.

As gently as you can, take a few deep breathes to bring your consciousness back to the surrounding around you.  Recall this nice feelings that you just experienced.  Knowing that you can always come back to this feeling anytime in the future.  Put a soft nice smile on your lips as you open your eyes.

This is the end of the mediation session.  You may repeat this meditation anytime to help you relax and clear your mind.
