Ground yourself in a calm, steady, non-reactive awareness. Feel the peace and stability that comes with the mountain mind.
So just taking a moment to settle
in here for this meditation.
And when you're ready, if you
care to, just closing the eyes.
And bringing your attention
to the flow of your breathing.
Feeling each in breath
and each out breath.
And as you sit here, just
picturing in your mind's eye
as best you can, a mountain.
Maybe one that you've seen
before, or you can imagine one.
Just holding the image and the feeling
of the mountain in your mind's eye.
Noting its qualities, the qualities
of stillness and steadiness.
And seeing if you can get a sense
now of bringing the qualities of the
mountain into your own mind and body.
Having a sense of becoming
one with the mountain.
And becoming aware, as you sit
here, of the fact that as the sun
travels across the sky, the light
and the shadows and the colors are
constantly changing, moment by moment
in the mountain's granite stillness.
Night follows day, day follows night.
The seasons constantly shift and change.
And through it, all the mountain
simply abides in calm, allowing
everything to come and go.
And the mountain just remains at
all times it's essential self.
In the same way, as we sit in
meditation, we can learn to experience
a mountain mind, and we can embody
the same unwavering stillness and
grounded-ness in awareness in the
face of everything that changes.
In our meditation practice and in our
lives, we experience constant change.
We have our own periods of joy, sorrow,
moments of calm and agitation, moments
of ease as well as moments of stress.
Our mind is constantly changing.
Thoughts and emotions coming and going.
But awareness itself never changes.
And as we rest in this unchanging
awareness, we connect with a
stability and a strength within
ourselves, and an ability to meet
the changing constellations of
our moment to moment experience
with equanimity, warmth and grace.
So seeing if you can have a sense now of
resting back in this steady awareness and
allowing the flow of this living moment
to unfold and meeting it all with an
open, accepting, and steady awareness.
And now, bringing this practice to a
close by taking a deep, slow breath in.
And a steady breath out as you begin
to wriggle the fingers and toes.
And then when you're ready,
you can open the eyes.
And perhaps if it feels right for you,
making an intention now to take these
feelings of steadiness and grounded-ness
with you into the rest of the day.
And wishing you a great day.
Thank you for your practice today.
Take care.

Vidyamala’s tips on catching anger as it’s happening or about to happen are great - clear, practical, and doable.

The little talks before the meditations are priceless. It's like I've found my peeps. The topics, the quotes, the goals—it all makes so much sense to me, things I want to be thinking and learning about. Most importantly, the meditations are kindness-centered, which I love. It feels like a new way to approach meditation.

Incredible, easy to navigate app. I would highly recommend this app to anyone who wishes to reduce stress and anxiety or simply as an aid to improve overall mental health.

So calm and soothing. I love the new bundle with Kelly Boys, she’s brilliant!

Better than Headspace. I've had the paid version of both apps, and I must say I enjoy this one better.

I am very new to meditation, and am so happy that my first introduction to it has been through this app
The first session was fantastic. I feel safe. And supported. Almost like having someone helping me through my difficult time. I’m very grateful for this app.
