Thank you for meditating with me today!

Meditation Script:

As you rest, comfortably aware of your physical, mental, and

emotional space, bring to mind one of your skills or talents. Perhaps you are

skilled at your field of work or are a talented singer. Whatever your skill or

talent, imagine engaging in an activity where you can use that skill. Physically,

what movements are involved? What muscles do you use? How does your body move?

Mentally, is there any mental preparation that goes into engaging in your skill

or talent? Imagine you are mentally preparing to share your talent. What do you

tell yourself? What mental notes do you take? Notice the role of memory as you

bring to mind any processes necessary for sharing your talent. Emotionally, how

do you prepare to share your skill? What are the emotions that exist when you

perform your skill or talent. How do those emotions show up in your body?

Spiritually, if you have any spiritual or religious inclination or affiliation,

bring to mind how your faith or spirituality plays into your skill or talent.

Is there a higher power or self or way of being you call upon to guide you

through the skill or talent, whether in practice or when you perform the task?

Finding a deep breath in, deep breath out, say

to yourself, “I am thankful for my talent. I am thankful for my skill. I am

thankful for the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual attributes that

allow me to share my skill or talent.” Find another deep breath in, deep breath

out. Move into your day, confidently aware of your talents. Thank you for meditating

with me. Peace.

About the Podcast

The Meditation Well
Mini Guided Meditations for All
Each of us is a container for sensation, thought, emotion, and whole-body experience. Through guided meditation we can gain access to a deeper sense of peace and calm that exists deep within each of us. The more we meditate, the more we draw upon the well of calm within, increasing our ability to manage stress, regulate emotion, and focus.

Jess guides each 2-10 minute journey, drawing on her yoga + mindfulness meditation background to help empower all meditators from beginners to long-time practitioners to invite into their week a moment of deep observation, calm, and rest.

Join Jess 3 times per week in The Meditation Well.
