Meditation is not about judging your experience, but gently noticing it. Through the simple practice of checking in, I guide you to become aware of your body, your breath and the present moment, exactly as they are.</p><p>Meditation is not a struggle for improvement or escape. It is a compassionate return to what is already here. Whatever you notice, tension, restlessness, ease or resistance, all of it belongs.</p><p>This episode offers a moment of calm, whether you are pausing during the day or winding down before sleep, supporting recovery, presence and deeper awareness through daily guided meditation.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>00:00</strong> — Introduction</p><p><strong>00:40</strong> — Recap from the previous episode</p><p><strong>01:49</strong> — Events without wisdom</p><p><strong>01:50</strong> — The third state: relaxed awareness</p><p><strong>02:40</strong> — A moment of awareness</p><p><strong>03:10</strong> — Leaving the moment</p><p><strong>03:20</strong> — No judgement</p><p><strong>03:40</strong> — A lesson on false spirituality</p><p><strong>04:00</strong> — Transformation</p><p><strong>04:20</strong> — The bell</p><p><strong>05:00</strong> — Taking the seat</p><p><strong>06:00</strong> — Hands and palms</p><p><strong>06:10</strong> — Eyes open or closed</p><p><strong>07:10</strong> — Checking in</p><p><strong>07:55</strong> — How are you?</p><p><strong>08:05</strong> — Noticing without judgement</p><p><strong>08:22</strong> — Wanting to be elsewhere</p><p><strong>08:40</strong> — The feet</p><p><strong>09:20</strong> — The legs</p><p><strong>09:27</strong> — Sensitivity and imbalance</p><p><strong>09:55</strong> — Left and right sensations</p><p><strong>10:05</strong> — The pelvis</p><p><strong>10:45</strong> — Points of contact with the chair</p><p><strong>11:05</strong> — The natural curve of the body</p><p><strong>11:15</strong> — Back pain and adjustment</p><p><strong>11:55</strong> — The urge to reset</p><p><strong>12:10</strong> — No struggle with the body</p><p><strong>12:23</strong> — Shoulders and upper spine</p><p><strong>12:49</strong> — Tension in the shoulders</p><p><strong>13:25</strong> — Clenched tightness</p><p><strong>14:10</strong> — Base of the head</p><p><strong>14:40</strong> — Sensation in the hair</p><p><strong>15:10</strong> — The whole face</p><p><strong>15:30</strong> — Softening the face</p><p><strong>16:00</strong> — The face as the entrance for breath</p><p><strong>16:20</strong> — Noticing the breath</p><p><strong>16:50</strong> — The chest</p><p><strong>17:00</strong> — Hidden tension in the chest</p><p><strong>17:30</strong> — The rhythm of breathing</p><p><strong>17:45</strong> — Expansion of the breath</p><p><strong>18:38</strong> — The solar plexus</p><p><strong>18:56</strong> — The whole body again</p><p><strong>19:15</strong> — However you are, you are</p><p><strong>19:30</strong> — Closing Bell</p>","author_name":"Cutdown Studios"}
