Recovering the Full Basic Form

from The Daily Meditation with Brother Richard

In this meditation, I invite you to return to the full basic form, the foundation that quietly supports all of our practice.These returning meditations are here to help us come back to what is essential. If you are new, you are very welcome to join the practice as it is today. And if you wish to go deeper, the earlier meditations in the archive lay out this practice from the beginning, step by step.As we settle, the body is allowed to soften and relax, gradually and without effort. Simple affirmations remind us that we are more than body, more than thoughts and feelings, and that a deeper centre of awareness remains steady beneath it all.This daily guided meditation offers a moment of calm, whether you are pausing during the day or winding down before sleep, helping you rest again in stillness and carry that intention gently into the hours ahead.Chapters 00:00 – Welcome back 00:15 – Returning to the archive and foundations 00:56 – The bell 03:15 – The body softening and relaxing 05:45 – Relaxation moving through the body 07:15 – I have a body, but I am more than my body 08:14 – Noticing judgement without curiosity 08:28 – I have feelings, but I am more than my thoughts 09:45 – I am I 10:10 – Resting in the centre of the breath 11:15 – Carrying the intention into the day 11:40 – Closing bell Hosted on Acast.
