In this 24-minute guided meditation we'll DRAW compassion for yourself and others. I know it's a long one, but it's juicy! Inspired and read from the REFUGE RECOVERY (book) and appendix. With additional "drawing" metaphors added throughout the meditation by Yours Bluely.

I wrote this song and it's traveled with me for decades. At 13 I started this composition in the mountains of Salt Lake City, Utah, and finished it at age 16 in sunny Southern California. I remained 'Untitled' until recently when I officially named it BECOMING BLUE.

Winter's Edge 07 The Practice of Music, Become the Song of Your Heart by Alexander Smith | Mindfulness Teacher

Inspired by the words of John O'Donohue, we'll relax into the body, and imagine a light all around you (the soul light) and with your breath draw that light (love, energy, i.e.) into your body. "The soul is not within the body as a little light or white spirit somewhere but the body is actually in the soul."

Practice is essential to my path, and I always start with movement of body. "Your body is a community of organs, all living with consciousness, that work together to house you in this story (Joy Harjo, 'Poet Warrior')." Move your body. Offer loving attention to your body today. It sounds simple and yet we struggle. You're not alone. I'll share some of my body struggle and how I'm moving gently on Winter's Edge.

I typed this in a note on my phone:
Ditch perfection, be gentle with progress, indulge in practice and demand playfulness.
The episode I wanted to call: A Mouthful of P's.
We're talking progress, perfection, practice, playfulness, politics, pedestals, pretending and pretension.

Short phrases that invite you into this moment. With background water sounds from a small creek in Bryce Canyon. I like to call them Viral Mindfulness Invitations or VMI's. Drop into your own being or presence. Even into silence or stillness. You’re welcome to sit, or to make this a moving meditation. Carry me with you as you gently walk.
