Closing And Encouragement
SPEAKER_00Welcome to Meditation Drip, your daily dose of mindfulness. This is Julie, and we are on day 20 of our 30-day one-minute meditation challenge. I wanted to celebrate being 20 days into this challenge with sharing a mindful and healing practice of finding awe. So there are more and more studies being done on the effects that being in awe has on us. And I don't think we need the science to prove it, but the studies do show that being in awe helps us feel more interconnected. It soothes our nervous system, it helps us with critical thinking, it sparks creativity. And this is just to name a few of the positive benefits. But if we take a step back for a moment and just think about how it feels when you are in awe. If you've ever been in nature or standing in front of a giant tree or in the middle of a forest, and if you pause and take in the beauty, you are filled with awe. Sometimes we listen to music or hear someone sing and it brings tears to our eyes. And what also comes to mind is when we witness someone overcoming an obstacle or setting a big dream and achieving it, when we get those goosebumps of being happy for someone else, that too is awe. So let's feel this wonderful feeling together in meditation and let's go in. For this practice, we will be keeping our eyes open, but if you'd like to close your eyes and imagine a scene of awe, that will work as well. Begin to look around your space. If you're outside, maybe find a tree or look at the sky. If you're inside, find a plant or look out your window or find something around you that just sparks some curiosity. Let's take a nice deep breath together. And whatever you choose to focus on, allow your gaze to rest upon it. Take long, slow, smooth breaths, and allow your focused lens to reveal more details to you. See the colors, the shapes, the textures. Notice any unique qualities or characteristics that are starting to stand out to you. For the next minute, let yourself get lost in the awe and wonderment of whatever you are looking at. I hope this meditation inspires you to find many moments of awe. Thank you for meditating with me, and I will see you tomorrow.
