You are not your thoughts.

This guided meditation will help you calm racing thoughts, release physical tension, regulate your nervous system, and recognize the awareness beneath the constant movement of the mind.

Many people believe they cannot meditate because they think too much.

But meditation is not the process of stopping thoughts.

Meditation is the process of recognizing what remains when you stop following them.

In this practice, thoughts are approached in the same way as sounds, sensations, and other experiences.

A sound appears and disappears.

A sensation appears and disappears.

A thought appears and disappears.

Awareness remains.

This meditation combines:

• A philosophical introduction to the nature of thought

• Slow breathing and physical relaxation

• A grounding body scan

• Observation of sounds and thoughts

• White-light visualization

• Extended silence

• Gentle integration and closing

THIS MEDITATION IS INTENTIONALLY SIMPLE

Unlike some of my other meditations, this practice was not recorded in a formal ceremonial setting.

That is intentional.

You do not need a temple, ceremonial room, meditation cushion, or perfect posture to meditate.

You can practice from a comfortable chair, at your desk, in your office, on an airplane, in a hotel room, or inside a safely parked car.

You do not have to sit on the floor.

You do not need to force your body into an uncomfortable position.

All that is needed is a relaxed posture, a few uninterrupted minutes, and a sincere desire to feel better, calm down, release, and regulate your system.

Headphones are recommended for a more immersive experience, but they are not required.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE

Do not practice this meditation while driving, operating machinery, or doing anything that requires your full attention.

Choose a safe place where you can close your eyes and relax.

THIS MEDITATION MAY SUPPORT YOU IF YOU:

• Experience racing or repetitive thoughts

• Struggle with anxiety or overthinking

• Feel mentally overstimulated

• Have difficulty relaxing after work

• Believe you are “bad at meditation”

• Find traditional meditation postures uncomfortable

• Want to regulate your nervous system

• Want to observe thoughts without becoming consumed by them

• Are beginning meditation for the first time
