In this meditation, we'll practice savoring the most overlooked moments of our life--neutral moments!--and explore how paying attention to them can greatly enrich our experience of being human.
Let's begin by finding
a comfortable posture.
This could be sitting,
standing or lying down.
If it's okay to do so,
you can close your eyes.
And let's take one deep breath together.
In through the nose.
And slowly out through the mouth.
Let's invite the jaw to soften so
that the teeth aren't clenched.
Allow the shoulders to drop a bit.
And the hands and the
belly can be at ease.
We're giving our bodies permission
to let go, to not have to grip or
try to get anywhere in this moment.
And just feel what it's like to be still.
There may still be a felt
sense of momentum from the day,
the week, the last 30 years.
Just feel some of that.
Having the opportunity to be felt, let
it wash through you like a wave moving
into shore and then retreating back.
In this moment, you don't need to fix
anything, you don't need to become anyone.
Any transformation that's happening from
this practice is coming from meeting
your moments deeply with presence,
compassion, curiosity, and acceptance.
In this meditation, we're going
to be tuning into neutral moments.
Very often we're conditioned to
just experience or pay attention
to the positive or the negative.
BUt what's it like to maybe
appreciate that space in between?
It has less affect and just sort of is.
As you rest in this moment, notice
how your mind might label it.
Is it pleasant?
Unpleasant?
Or neutral?
As a sense of neutrality arises in the
practice, we're just exploring being with
that and actually maybe appreciating it.
For the next 30 seconds.
Just see if you can savor
the simplicity of neutrality.
Let's take one more deep breath together.
In through the nose.
Out through the mouth.
Great job.
When you're ready, you can open your eyes.
And as you go about your day
today, see if you can notice these
neutral moments as they arise.
Instead of passing them by quickly,
try to savor them, appreciate them
and give them as much presence
as you might any other moment.
Notice how it changes and
transforms your experience.
Thank you for your practice.
And until we talk again, 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.

I love how the app gives me pointers to new things to explore.

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.

Kelly Boys is hands down the best. Everytime I click on one of her guided meditations I get excited for the calmness that lies ahead.
