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.
