This is Marisa.
Welcome to Meditate with Marisa.
Today, we are meditating for inner peace,
something so important to you.
And please remember these are nicer meditations.
Nicer means new, it means innovative,
it means I'm going to ask you, at some stage,
to touch with your finger, the area
between your eyebrows, to impress upon yourself
what it is you want to install.
To instruct your mind.
To code in, and call in, reacting to stress
in a more peaceful way.
You're going to erase old behaviors.
You're going to rewire,
and you're going to repeat.
So make yourself comfortable,
and remember, when you're meditating,
there is nothing to do, nowhere to go.
All you have to do is breathe.
The first thing you did when you were born
was take a breath,
without giving it a second thought.
It was an innate part of you to breathe.
So right now, breathe in.
Just really breathe in.
And breathe out.
The most natural thing in the world.
Again, breathe in.
Breathe out.
And as you breathe in, and as you breathe out,
this is a guided meditation.
It's wonderful.
It's safe.
It's calm.
It's a calm, meditative, restoring,
rejuvenating state of mind.
So just keep breathing, and just let go.
And while you breathe in,
and while you breathe out,
and while you let go, I want you to know
that "let go", they are the most important words
in the world.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
I want you to breathe in,
and take a breath.
Just take a breath.
Take.
And now breathe out and give.
Give that breath away.
So you now have balance of giving and receiving,
receiving and giving.
You give a breath, you take one back.
You take a breath, you give one away.
And there is balance.
So breathe in.
The most important words are to let go.
Let go of thinking.
Let go of controlling.
And when you want to have inner peace,
here's something important to consider.
You don't go to inner peace.
You don't even find inner peace.
It finds you.
There is nowhere to go, nothing to do.
You allow inner peace to come to you
by focusing on your breathing.
Breathing in, breathing out,
giving, receiving, receiving, giving,
letting go of thinking.
And recognizing that there is no inner peace
to go to, there is no termination,
no destination that you will ever arrive at
called "inner peace."
'Cause inner peace is in you.
And as you think about inner peace,
you know that it's something you choose,
you are choosing to feel peace,
or choosing to feel calm, choosing,
that no matter what is going on around you,
you are in a state of peace.
You're attracting it, it's attracting you.
As you move towards inner peace,
it is moving towards you, and into you.
And at any time, you can turn your eyes
inwards, and you can install into yourself
this habit of inner peace, right now.
Go ahead and just press the area
in between your eyebrows
with your first two fingers.
As you press, I want you to say these words,
and think these thoughts.
You are installing into yourself
a habit of inner peace.
Inner peace is yours to manifest,
to activate, to accelerate.
Go ahead and impress on yourself
that you have the power, the ability,
the way with all to call inner peace
in at any time.
One more time, press gently that part of you.
And install, impress, and instruct your body.
To send you inside of yourself
to find inner peace.
You are coding in, calling in,
the ability to find peace.
You see when you were a tiny baby,
you fell asleep in a sandbox.
You fell asleep in a noisy place.
You fell asleep on a train.
In a car.
Sitting upright.
Because peace came to you.
You didn't go to it.
It came to you.
Now you can be on a train,
you can be a passenger in a car,
you can be anywhere.
You can even experience inner peace
sitting in your desk, at work.
You see, inner peace is a choice.
And here's a magic phrase for you,
"I'm choosing inner peace."
I'm choosing to feel it, to be in it.
So just take a few minutes of complete silence
and choose inner peace.
Install in inner peace.
Call in, code in inner peace.
Do that now.
And just allow the silence to feel so peaceful.
There is strength in silence,
peace in silence.
Allow the gaps of silence to take
you deeper, into that network of intelligence.
(soft piano music)
So just go deeper.
And remember, strength is in stillness.
Strength is in silence.
Silence is so peaceful for your mind.
And in these gaps of silence,
you are rejuvenating, and regenerating,
and rewiring you.
So enjoy the silence.
Enjoy the gaps.
Go deeper.
(soft piano music)
And as you go deeper, I want you
to just sway from side to side,
just the way you might move at a music concert,
from left to right.
And as you just sway from side to side,
you are erasing, eradicating,
and eliminating tension.
In the same way when you see a deer.
It will shake itself to relax.
So will many animals.
When they feel stress, they just shake
off that tension.
And babies rock to soothe themselves.
So just move your shoulders
from side to side, very gently.
And as you move from side to side,
remember, you are erasing stress,
eradicating stress, eliminating stress.
And as you erase, eradicate,
and eliminate stress, you're installing,
instructing, coding in, and calling in
a habit of peace.
And remember, there's nowhere to go.
If you have to go somewhere,
that's not so relaxing.
If you have to find something,
that's contra relaxing.
But if you just install something
within yourself, and it's always there,
and you tune into it, the mind likes it.
And in the same way that you can't go to sleep,
you certainly can't fall asleep,
you just allow sleep to come to you.
And so it is with inner peace,
you allow it to descend upon you.
To descend upon you like a mist,
to cover you like the most comfortable,
warm, weighted blanket.
To wrap you up in itself.
To envelop you in it.
And there you are.
Enjoying inner peace.
That is a part of who you are.
And every time you think about that,
and install in this habit
of inner peace coming to you,
staying with you, being a part of you,
the more you do it, the easier it is.
The easier it is, the more you do it,
and soon, this is not what you do.
This is who you are.
You're someone who
easily, effortlessly, naturally, consistently allows
inner peace to descend upon them.
Because it's there.
It's part of you.
And it is you.
So go deeper.
Enjoy some more silence.
(soft piano music)
And you know the difference
between someone who has inner peace,
and someone who doesn't.
You see, inner peace is about what you think,
what you believe, and what you practice.
And it all starts with a thought,
everything starts with a thought.
Your thoughts control your feelings,
your feelings control your actions,
your actions control your behavior, and events.
It all starts with a thought,
that inner peace is a part of you.
Just as you are a part of it,
and every day, your lungs breathe
without any effort from you whatsoever.
Every day, your heart beats
without any intervention from you at all.
Your heartbeat, your lungs breathe,
your blood circulates, your hair grows,
your eyes blink.
And so it is with inner peace,
it's in you, it's a part of you,
it's who you are.
You tap into it, drop down into that gap
of inner peace.
Understanding that your body is controlled
by a network of intelligence,
which is influenced by your own mind.
And here you are right now,
dropping right into that network of intelligence.
Sinking into a network of intelligence,
where you are influencing your own mind,
slowing down your breathing,
slowing down your thinking.
Slowing down everything, 'til there is just you,
and this beautiful feeling of peace,
this warm, wonderful, peaceful feeling.
That is covering you, like a blanket.
This warm, wonderful attitude of peace.
That you can bestow on yourself,
at any time, wherever you are,
whatever you're doing.
You always have a minute or two
to let peace come to you.
You don't have to go to it,
you just invite it in, call it in, let it in.
And there it is.
Your breathing is deep and steady
from the diaphragm.
Your heartbeat is so rhythmic, so soothing.
Your thoughts are completely still.
And you are at peace.
Experiencing peace.
You are inner peace.
So just allow this feeling of being inner peace,
and allow it to stay with you.
You can just continue in this state
for as long as you want to,
as long as you need to, as long as you choose to,
or, you can come back, to your full awareness.
