Center of the body You are listening to “The Monkey Mind” - a meditation podcast where we learn meditation techniques and practice with guided sessions to slow down our mind to  attain a state of stillness.  Meditation could reset our beliefs, attitudes and mindset  creating balance between success and happiness in our lives.  This is a production of TheCEOMonk.com. publisher of the book:  “A CEO, an Entrepreneur, a Tourist and the Monk. Its Inner Peace time. Sit in comfortable place. Either on a chair or on the floor. Keeping your back straight and neck erect. If you are sitting on the floor, you may cross your legs by placing your right foot over bent left knee. Place your left palm open and facing up, resting it comfortably on your lap. Place your right palm over the left palm, allowing your right index finger to touch the tip of the left thumb. Continue to adjust your body by stretching and relaxing until you are comfortable. Gently Close your eyes allowing your eye lids to touch very slightly without squeezing them shut. Now, take a few deep breathes and Relax. Breathe in and breathe out. In and out. Put a slight smile on your lips. Relax. Notice with each breath, fresh air enters your nostril. Allow your mind to follow the air as it enters your body, filling every cell in your body. Bringing smiles and happiness to every single cell. Breathe in, and out. In and out. Relax. Each time you inhale, allow your mind to follow the breathe as it enters the body. Feeling the air presses against the lungs. Flowing into the middle of your abdomen Feeling the fresh cool air as it reaches the abdomen. Where  air turns around as you exhale, bringing along all of your worries and cares. This is the center of the body, which is the seat of the mind. Maintain your mind here, gently, softly. Just be here. Let it be. Observing without involving. Breathing in and out.  Feeling completely relax just being here. Imagine a small sphere of bright soft light at this center. About the size of the egg yoke. Maintain your soft attention at the center of this sphere. Just know it's here, as you observe it, and breathing slowly. Check the muscles around your eyes so that its is not squinting to look. Relax the body. Clear the mind. Just stay at the center of the body. Allowing the mind to sit here, rest here, and be home till the end of time.
