Carrying Too Much - A Guided Meditation (by Pathlight Meditations)

A Guided Meditation
We really are like pack rats. We accumulate so much baggage. This is like a weight that pulls us down or holds us back. We lose our flexibility and our adaptability. With rapidly changing and unpredictable events we can easily lose direction. When we come to our mindfulness/meditation there are some tools we can use to detach ourselves from the thoughts that appear in our mind. Gently focusing on the breath is almost universally accepted as stand-ard. Posture brings about a positive attitude. We suggest considering a mantra as a mind tool to help keep the mind focused on the breathing and to put down the weights we are carrying The mantra we suggest is the sound 'So Hum'. It is Sanskrit for 'l am that’, the actual spelling is "So 'ham". To use it we think the sound 'so' on the in breath, and the sound 'hum' on the out breath. It may be a useful tool to bring the breathing into the present moment - moving to-wards an inner stillness (Meditation by David Prescott, art work by Jan Prescott).

About Pathlight Meditations:
These recording are made by Pathlight Meditations, which began to teach meditation-mindfulness in the 1980s after many years exploring whole person development. At that stage, there were few culturally neutral forms of meditation openly available, so they created something practical to fulfill this need in their local community in Perth, Western Australia. They included traditional elements of Intention, Posture, Breathing and Mantra based on experience in India and with different Eastern practices, adapted to be more compatible with diverse personal belief systems.
