このコンテンツについて
Take a comfortable seat, wherever you are. Feel the surface beneath you, supporting your body completely. Close your eyes if that feels good, or soften your gaze downward. Take a deep breath in through your nose, filling your lungs, and then a long, slow exhale through your mouth. Let that breath carry away some of the mental clutter.
Today, we're going to explore what I call the "mental weather meditation" - a practice designed specifically for minds that never seem to stop spinning. Imagine your thoughts are like clouds passing through a vast sky. Some clouds are light and wispy, some are dark and heavy, but the sky - your fundamental awareness - remains unchanged and spacious.
Begin by noticing your thoughts without getting tangled in them. When a thought arrives - maybe about a work project, a personal concern, or something on your to-do list - just observe it. Don't judge it. Don't push it away. Simply see it as a cloud drifting across your inner sky. Notice its shape, its texture, and then watch it move on.
Your mind will wander. This is not a failure - this is the practice. Each time you notice you've gotten caught in a thought stream, gently return your attention to the sky of awareness. It's like training a puppy - with patience, with kindness.
Breathe deeply. Let each inhale bring a sense of spaciousness, each exhale a sense of release. Your thoughts are visitors. You are the vast, unchanging awareness that welcomes them and lets them go.
As we prepare to close, take one more deep breath. Set an intention to carry this sense of spacious awareness with you. When your mind starts to race today, remember: you are the sky, not the clouds.
