Go on, it’s OK …
Just sit there a while longer.
Do nothing.
It’ll be fine, just sit and do nothing.
Besides, what else are you doing right here? What else are you doing right now? Reading a blog? So, you might as well do something positive. Do something productive.
Do something that does you good.
So, Do Nothing.
Just try it.
Here, like this…
Sit balanced – upright and supported – in your chair.
Gaze softly – at a point in space – just beyond the tip of your nose.
Breathe slowly – comfortably and regularly.
Feel your breath, flowing in … flowing out …. flowing in … flowing out …
Hear your breath … the whisper and sigh … in your nose and throat.
Thoughts will arise … thoughts will dissolve …
This is natural – let them.
Don’t think … don’t not think …
Gently refocus your mind if it wanders too far.
Feel the flow of your breath …
Hear the whisper and sigh …
Just sit …
Slowly settle …
Settle into the stillness.
In the stillness are those subtle sensations of your inner self.
Watch them…listen to them…feel them.
Come back when you are ready.
Just sit, quietly, a little longer.
Rejoin your day.
Feel better?
I hope so.
Doing Nothing is good for you.
The ‘Doing’ is focused awareness …
The ‘Nothing’ is your breath …
So, doing Nothing is doing Something.
And that is meditation … you were meditating!
Who knew, eh?
Go well.
