Coming to Stillness
from The Daily Meditation with Brother Richard
In this episode, I explore stillness in a world shaped by constant movement, reaction and noise.I introduce the idea of relaxed awareness, a third state beyond effort and distraction. Meditation is not about judging your experience, but gently noticing it. Through the simple practice of checking in, I guide you to become aware of your body, your breath and the present moment, exactly as they are.Meditation is not a struggle for improvement or escape. It is a compassionate return to what is already here. Whatever you notice, tension, restlessness, ease or resistance, all of it belongs.This episode offers a moment of calm, whether you are pausing during the day or winding down before sleep, supporting recovery, presence and deeper awareness through daily guided meditation.00:00 — Introduction00:40 — Recap from the previous episode01:49 — Events without wisdom01:50 — The third state: relaxed awareness02:40 — A moment of awareness03:10 — Leaving the moment03:20 — No judgement03:40 — A lesson on false spirituality04:00 — Transformation04:20 — The bell05:00 — Taking the seat06:00 — Hands and palms06:10 — Eyes open or closed07:10 — Checking in07:55 — How are you?08:05 — Noticing without judgement08:22 — Wanting to be elsewhere08:40 — The feet09:20 — The legs09:27 — Sensitivity and imbalance09:55 — Left and right sensations10:05 — The pelvis10:45 — Points of contact with the chair11:05 — The natural curve of the body11:15 — Back pain and adjustment11:55 — The urge to reset12:10 — No struggle with the body12:23 — Shoulders and upper spine12:49 — Tension in the shoulders13:25 — Clenched tightness14:10 — Base of the head14:40 — Sensation in the hair15:10 — The whole face15:30 — Softening the face16:00 — The face as the entrance for breath16:20 — Noticing the breath16:50 — The chest17:00 — Hidden tension in the chest17:30 — The rhythm of breathing17:45 — Expansion of the breath18:38 — The solar plexus18:56 — The whole body again19:15 — However you are, you are19:30 — Closing Bell Hosted on Acast.
