The Physical Act of Meditation

In this meditation, I invite you to explore the physical act of meditation — what it means to sit, to notice, and to arrive fully in the body.We begin by taking our seat with intention, allowing the body to settle into a posture that is both grounded and at ease. As we sit, attention gently opens to the senses, the five simple gates through which awareness meets the present moment.Without strain or effort, the body is invited to release unnecessary tension and to feel supported by the ground beneath it. Through quiet noticing and relaxed awareness, we allow ourselves to be here, just as we are, held by breath and presence.This daily guided meditation offers a moment of calm, whether you are pausing during the day or winding down before sleep, helping you rest in stillness, simplicity and embodied awareness.Chapters00:00 – Introduction00:30 – Sitting with awareness01:30 – Setting intention01:45 – Ritual gesture02:00 – The bell04:00 – Sitting with attention04:40 – Releasing stressful tension04:50 – Strength and grounding in the body05:10 – Feeling the feet sink into the ground07:35 – Choosing relaxed awareness10:15 – You, the moment and the breath11:10 – Closing bell Hosted on Acast.
