Meditation Script:

Find a comfortable place to be in your body, seated or lying

down. Bring attention to any tension in the body, breathing in, notice.

Breathing out, let go whatever tension you can. Bring attention to your mental

space, busyness of mind, intrusive thoughts, breathe in to notice. Breathe out

to invite calm. Bring attention to your emotional space, notice any heaviness

of emotion. Breathe in to notice. Breathe out to invite ease.

Here, bring to mind a project you’re working on, whether for

work or at home, whether for business or leisure. Imagine that project

complete. What does the end product look like? How do you feel? Embody that

feeling as you work backwards from the finalization of the project to that step

before finalizing. What do you need? What separates the completed project from

the nearly complete project. Keeping the vision of completion in mind and that

feeling of ease in mind and body, continue to work backward, visualizing that

project further and further from completion, observing the parts or people or

knowledge or time or space or whatever is needed removed the further away you

get from the completed vision.

Notice your physical, mental, emotional space. Find a deep

breath in, filling up the belly, feeling that expanse through front and back

ribs. Deep breath out, drawing the belly gently in, drawing the ribs to center.

Notice how you feel. Attaching no value judgment to wherever you’re at in this

moment, bring to mind your project as it is now. Is it started? Is it an idea? Have

you written it down? What step are you at in your timeline? Find a deep breath

in, deep breath out. What is your next step to move the project forward? What is

the initial thing you need to complete that next step? Find a deep breath in, deep

breath out.

Now, imagine completing that next step, a smile on your face

as you build momentum to move your vision forward. Imagine any movements of the

body involved in this next step. Imagine the objects, the person or people, the

time, the space, the action.

Bringing gentle movement to your body, find one more deep breath

in, deep breath out. Now, move into your day with focus, vision, momentum

toward the next step in your project, and holding within your whole body, the

calmness of seeing your project complete. Thank you for meditating with me.

Peace.
