Here’s a guided anti-addiction consciousness meditation based on the theme: “Notice What You Are Noticing.”
This meditation will help bring awareness to cravings, impulses, and unconscious patterns while creating space for clarity, self-compassion, and healing.
Guided Meditation: “Notice What You Are Noticing”
Duration: 15-20 minutes
Step 1: Setting the Space (2 min)
- Find a quiet and comfortable space where you won’t be disturbed.
- Sit or lie down in a relaxed position, with your hands resting gently on your lap or by your sides.
- Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths in through your nose, exhaling softly through your mouth.
- Allow yourself to settle into the present moment, free of judgment.
Step 2: Grounding Into the Body (3 min)
- Bring your awareness to your body.
- Feel the connection of your body to the surface beneath you.
- Notice the sensation of your breath—where do you feel it the most? In your chest? Your belly? Your nostrils?
- Scan your body gently, noticing any areas of tension or restlessness, and allow them to soften.
Step 3: Noticing Thoughts and Impulses (5 min)
- Shift your awareness to your mind, observing thoughts as they arise without getting caught in them.
- Instead of resisting or engaging, simply “notice what you are noticing.”
- If a craving, impulse, or urge appears, welcome it as an observer:
- “I notice a thought about checking my phone.”
- “I notice a craving for coffee.”
- “I notice a feeling of restlessness.”
- Label the sensations with curiosity rather than judgment.
Step 4: Investigating the Urge (3 min)
- If a craving or habit-related thought arises, ask yourself:
- Where do I feel this craving in my body?
- What emotions come with it? (Anxiety, boredom, excitement?)
- What do I truly need in this moment? (Connection, rest, nourishment?)
- Breathe into any discomfort and imagine creating space around it, allowing it to soften.
Step 5: Returning to Awareness (5 min)
- Bring attention back to your breath. Feel the gentle rise and fall.
- With each inhale, imagine drawing in clarity and strength.
- With each exhale, release old habits and unconscious patterns.
- Rest in stillness, fully present, fully aware.
- When you’re ready, gently open your eyes and return to your day with mindfulness.
