Do this 10 minute meditation to connect to your true self! w/ Michael B. Beckwith

Introduction

This tutorial guides you through a 10-minute meditation designed to help you connect with your true self. Led by Michael B. Beckwith, this practice emphasizes the importance of breath and awareness, allowing you to differentiate between your body, mind, and the infinite potential that is your essence.

Step 1: Prepare Your Space

• Find a quiet and comfortable space where you can sit or lie down without interruptions.
• Ensure the environment is calming; consider dimming the lights or lighting a candle if it helps you relax.
• You may want to use a cushion or chair that supports your posture.

Step 2: Set Your Intention

• Take a moment to reflect on your intention for this meditation.
• You can silently state your intention, such as “I seek to connect with my true self” or “I embrace my infinite potential.”
• Keep this intention in mind as you progress through the meditation.

Step 3: Focus on Your Breath

• Close your eyes gently and take a deep breath in through your nose, filling your lungs completely.
• Hold your breath for a moment, then exhale slowly through your mouth.
• Repeat this deep breathing pattern several times, allowing your body to relax more with each exhale.

Step 4: Tune Into Your Body

• As you breathe, bring your awareness to different parts of your body.
• Start from the top of your head and slowly move down to your toes, noticing any sensations or tension.
• Acknowledge that your body is a vessel and not the essence of who you are.

Step 5: Observe Your Thoughts

• Allow your thoughts to come and go without judgment.
• Recognize that your mind is also separate from your true self; it is simply a tool for experiencing life.
• If you find your mind wandering, gently bring your focus back to your breath.

Step 6: Connect with Your Essence

• Visualize a light or energy at your core, representing your true self.
• With each breath, imagine this light expanding, filling your body and the space around you.
• Feel the infinite potential within you, embracing your true identity beyond physical form.

Step 7: Gradually Return to Awareness

• After approximately 10 minutes, begin to bring your awareness back to the present moment.
• Wiggle your fingers and toes, and take a deep breath to re-energize your body.
• When you feel ready, slowly open your eyes.

Conclusion

This meditation serves as a powerful tool to reconnect with your true self and understand the distinction between your physical body, mind, and infinite essence. Regular practice can deepen this connection, leading to greater self-awareness and inner peace.
