In this meditation, I invite you to return once again to the basic form of relaxation and awareness that allows us to enter deeply into stillness.
Whether you are beginning your meditation practice for the first time or returning to something familiar, recovering the form helps us develop the ability to find peace and presence in a variety of circumstances.
Beginning with a simple ritual gesture, we gently settle the body, become aware of our posture and use the senses to anchor ourselves in the present moment.
Through breathing, visualisation and progressive relaxation, we release tension and gradually move towards the still centre of our being.
As we become aware of our bodies, thoughts and emotions, we recognise that we are more than any one of these experiences, resting instead in the awareness of being created and held in divine love.
