Meditating with a sacred phrase

In this meditation, I invite you to sit with a simple phrase: “Be still and know.”Drawn from scripture, the words are not used as argument or explanation, but as a quiet anchor for awareness. We begin by settling into posture and breath, allowing conscious breathing to steady the mind and body. From there, the phrase is introduced gently, sounded inwardly in rhythm with the breath.The words are not analysed. They are simply allowed to rest in awareness, rising and falling with the breathing. When distraction comes, we return softly to the phrase and to the breath beneath it.This daily guided meditation offers a moment of calm, whether you are pausing during the day or winding down before sleep, helping you cultivate stillness, steadiness and quiet trust in the present moment.Chapters 00:00 – Introduction 00:15 – The phrase from scripture 00:25 – The bell 00:35 – Ritual gesture 01:18 – Conscious breathing 01:35 – Breathing in and out 03:23 – Resting in the present moment 03:35 – Sounding the phrase 05:10 – Resting in the breath 06:35 – Repeating the phrase inwardly 10:55 – Closing bell Hosted on Acast.
