Dedication to a Higher Purpose

A calming and grounding meditation infused with a sense of meaning and dedicated to a higher purpose.

Settling into your meditation posture. And when you're ready, allowing your eyes to gently close, if that feels okay for you. And bringing all of your attention to the breath. Just focusing on the feeling of the breath moving in the body. And letting everything else drop away.

So that all that's left is just this moment. And just the feeling of this breath. That's it. I'm just going to take a moment here to invite you to bring to mind all the other people in the world, all the other living beings in the world, all of whom you're living your life alongside. And if you care to, just taking a moment here to dedicate today's meditation practice to a higher purpose.

And repeating these words mentally after me, if they feel right for you. I dedicate this practice to the benefit of all beings. May all beings find freedom from suffering. May all beings have peace in their hearts. May we all awaken together and live in harmony and connection.

And just taking a moment here to really let that feeling of goodwill and loving kindness towards all beings Fill your body, mind, and heart. And then gently landing your focus back on the feeling of the breath gently moving in your body. Just following the breath. And if the mind gets lost at any stage, just bringing it gently back to the breath. And as the practice now comes towards the end, just notice how your mind and body feel after taking this time out for meditation.

And beginning to move the fingers and toes a little. And when you're ready, opening the eyes. Wishing you a great day and thank you for your practice today.
