Guided Meditation: Breathing Colorful Attention

A 13-minute guided meditation based on breathing colorful attention

I’ve been focusing again recently on building daily a habit of meditation. I mostly use the Vedic or “flow” method—basically, a simple mantra meditation, or even just counting, or focusing on the breath. Once in a while I find a guided meditation to be helpful, and I was asked to lead a guided session the other day, so I recorded this short guided session based on a phrase that came to me last year when a friend asked me for a definition of love.

Breathing Colorful Attention—that feels like love to me—and so, what better basis for a meditation?

This meditation is about 13 minutes long. Find a comfortable place to sit—and let’s begin.

This is part of a series of guided meditations where we take time to digest and integrate the fact that the shapes and patterns of nature are the same shapes and patterns that make up our physical bodies. Those same shapes and patterns are the basis of our neurological processes, and therefore also our feelings, emotions, thoughts, and beliefs. Even at its most abstract levels, the very structure of our consciousness remains grounded in the morphology and geography of the natural world.

Questions for you

1. Is there a phrase that you might use to describe the energy of love?

2. Do you have a meditation practice? If so, what method(s) do you use?

3. How does meditation affect your daily life?

4. Is there anything about how you are currently living that you would like to change?
