Living The Present Moment Pt. 1 - Meditation

There are moments in life when the mind feels loud, restless, and heavy.
Especially during winter, or in phases of emotional darkness, thoughts may race without pause — circling around fear, sadness, self-doubt, and old wounds.

Inside, there is no silence.

Only movement

Only noise

Meditation is not about fixing yourself.
It is about remembering your inner room of silence.

It is the first gentle step back home.

Empty the Cup

Imagine your mind as a cup that has been overflowing for a very long time — filled with expectations, memories, pain, pressure, and stories that were never truly yours.

Meditation is the act of slowly emptying that cup.

Step by Step. Breath by Breath.

Until there is space again.

Stillness.
Clarity.
Light.

When You Believe You “Can’t Meditate”

Many people say: “I can’t meditate.”

Often, this is not the whole truth — it is a misunderstanding.

Maybe silence feels uncomfortable.
Maybe slowing down feels unsafe.

Maybe it feels uncomfortable to breathe deeply.
Maybe you tried once or twice and expected immediate peace.

Maybe you haven´t found your way to do it yet.

Meditation is not something you do.
It is something you allow.

The Benefits of Meditation

It took me a long time to find a form of meditation that truly opened the door for me.

But devotion changed everything.

Today, I sit with myself once or twice a day — in the morning and/or in the evening — for 30 to 40 minutes.

In these moments, I enter a deep meditative, almost trance-like state.

A space beyond thinking.

A space where the mind softens and the soul begins to speak.

This state allows me to release thoughts completely and to feel — truly feel — what is alive within me.

On a physical level, deep meditation gently can support the nervous system, the immune response, and the natural flow of serotonin and dopamine — the chemistry of balance and inner light.

A Gentle Way In

I begin with the focused Breathing.

Always.

Breath is the bridge between body, mind, and soul.

During my meditation, I use frequency-based sounds, often chakra frequencies, which help the brain slip into deeper states of awareness.

My Way of Breathing:

4 seconds in, deeply into the belly

6 seconds out, slow and soft

If this feels too intense at first, begin smaller.

There is no rush.
Your nervous system learns through kindness.

If deep belly breathing feels unfamiliar, lie down and place a book on your chest.

As you inhale, let the breath expand into your belly while the book remains still.

This alone can be a meditation — a first reconnection with your body.

Devotion Over Discipline

Meditation asks for patience, not perfection.

Think of it like learning to walk again — slowly, intentionally, with trust.

You would never expect yourself to run a marathon on the first day.

Why demand that from your inner world?

Some days, thoughts will swirl.

Let them

Do not fight them

Do not judge them

See them as clouds drifting across the sky of your awareness.

They are not you.

They pass.

My Way of Meditation 

Step 1 Relaxation Through Breathing

In the beginning, I focus only on relaxation through breathing.
I imagine my body growing heavier, sinking gently into the earth — held, supported, safe.

Step 2 Practicing Gratitude

When the mind softens, I move into gratitude.

Even in darkness, there is something to honor.

Gratitude opens the heart and shifts the inner frequency.

It is one of the most powerful emotional states we can experience — alongside Love and Compassion.

Thank you for this moment of rest.

Thank you for this focused breath.

Thank you for the light.

Thank you for my energy today.

Step 2 Practicing Self Love

Then I turn inward and speak words of love to myself:

I love you.

I love you for your strength.

I love you for your softness.

 I love you for your capacity to forgive and to love unconditionally.

I love you for being you.

Step 3 Practicing Compassion

In the final phase, I focus on compassion.

I allow images of suffering — personal or collective — to arise.

I do not analyze them.

I simply send compassion. Quietly. Gently. Without expectation.

Step 4 Awareness to the Energy Centers

To close, I bring awareness to my energy centers — the chakras — allowing energy to flow freely again.

If this calls to you, guided chakra meditations can be a beautiful doorway.

The Afterglow

This practice can easily fill 30–40 minutes.

And when you rise, something has shifted.

You feel

Lighter
Clearer
More alive

Over time, your body remembers how to rest in stillness.
Your nervous system remembers safety.
Your heart remembers joy.

This is not a cure.
It is a companion.

A soft light that walks beside you, even in darker seasons.

What Comes Next

When the mind begins to soften, the body longs to move.

In Part Two, we will explore conscious movement —

how nature, light, and gentle motion

can help anchor the light that meditation begins.

Until then:
Breathe.
Rest.

And remember — you are already enough. 🌙✨
