Calm The Bleep Down Meditation & Mindfulness

Meditation imitates life in so many ways. When we face set backs, road blocks, or failures in our path, so often the only thing left to do is begin again. Just as in meditation when we find our mind wandering, we have to be mindful of it, acknowledge it and return to our breath. Begin again. This meditation aims to remind us that no matter what, there is no such thing as failure, so long as we keep going.

We get stuck in moments of being upset, let down, depression, anxiety and in those moments we start to think of our current situation as just how we are or "this is just who I am" and we get used to seeing ourselves that way and forget that may be true now but doesn't have to be true in the future. Visualizing our future can be a powerful way to see another version of ourselves that may be true now but can be true tomorrow. How do you see your future self? What are they telling you about yourself? What is the secret that future version of you holds that you have yet to learn? This meditation hopes to help you get closer to that future self, one breath at a time.

Often times we place so much pressure on ourselves to achieve the goal, whatever it may be, that we for get that one step forward is better than no steps forward. There is no such thing as failure, unless you quit. Everything in life is practice. Athletes practice to compete and then consider the competition practice for the next competition. Thinking this way can actually bleed over into life as well. Everything we do is just practice for life. Persistence, dedication, discipline, learning to deal with setbacks. Meditation is the same way. We are practicing for life. Mindfully. One breath at a time.

We spend most of our lives afraid. We spend most of our lives worrying about what has been or what could be. We spend our life thinking about all the bad things that are possible. But we very often forget the other side of possibility. All the good things that could happen. Good or bad, neither are true, unless we say so. This meditation hopes to help remind us that we have the universe inside of us and to ask the question how much better could things get? One breath at a time.

When we are feeling low, our vibrations are low. Those feelings of fear, sadness, depression, anxiety, boredom are all sucking our energy and keeping us vibrating at a lower level. All while disconnecting us from the present moment. Connecting to the present, raises our vibration. We start to feel joy, gratitude, inspired, optimistic, and enthusiastic for what is to come. The present moment is there, always singing in a perfect pitch, waiting for us to tune in to it. This meditation hopes to help the meditator practice that connection with the present moment so we can be more in unison with our life. One breath at a time.
