Welcome, traveler… You are here. You are safe. You are ready.

Inhale deeply… two… three… four… Exhale slowly… two… three… four…

Feel the breath anchoring you. Feel your body arrive.

Now we flow. Connected breath—no pause in between. In through the mouth… out through the mouth.

Let the rhythm build. Let the breath guide you.

You may feel sensations… Tingling… lightness… emotion… Let it rise.

Now we pause… Take a long inhale. Inhale deeply… two… three… four… And hold.

Now exhale slowly… Exhale… two… three… four…

Visualize a glowing orb at the center of your forehead. It pulses with your breath. This is your inner eye.

Feel your body again. Your fingers… your toes…

Let this stillness stay with you. Let this breath be your guide.

When you’re ready… open your eyes. Welcome back.

Inhale gently… two… three… four… Exhale slowly… two… three… four…

A short meditation to help you ground, soften, and find a moment of calm — even when everything feels like it's moving fast. Designed to meet you where you are, this practice invites gentle awareness and quiet humor, without asking you to change anything.

Created by **ChatGPT**, based on the following user prompt:

> *Hey there my friend! Can you write me a meditation to be more chilled, with all that's going on?*


Take a breath. And another. Let this be simple. You’re not here to fix anything. Just to stop. For a moment.

There’s a lot going on. That’s true. And… you’re here. Sitting. Breathing. That’s also true. Let’s start there.

Feel the weight of your body. Wherever you’re sitting or lying—let yourself settle into it a little more.

Notice your shoulders. Maybe they’re auditioning for a role as earrings. Invite them to drop.

No judgment—just gravity. Gravity never rushes. Let it do the work for now.

Feel your jaw. Unclench it. Your stomach. Can it soften? (If not, that’s fine too. You’re still invited.)

Notice your breath. No need to deepen it unless it wants to. Just ride it. Like a lazy wave. Nothing to prove.

Thoughts will keep happening. Like pop-up ads in a dodgy website. That’s fine. You don’t have to click. Just notice.

Whatever’s swirling—plans, problems, impulses to fix or check or do—

See if you can say, gently: “Yes, I see you. Not now.”

Not now is enough. You’re not cutting yourself off. You’re just creating a small island in the storm.

A place to breathe. Maybe even smirk at it all.

If you’ve noticed even one moment of stillness, that’s enough. If not, that’s also enough.

This isn’t a performance. It’s just a pause. A gentle act of rebellion against the panic of the world.

Take one last breath. Let it out with a bit of a sigh, if that feels good. (Seriously. Try it.)

When you’re ready, open your eyes—or not. You’re still in the middle of it all. But maybe, just maybe, a little more chilled.

Stillness in the Middle of It All

A meditation inspired by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s concept of "becoming-animal," which I’ve always found deeply resonant with the experience of meditation.

Welcome. Wherever you are, take a moment to settle.

Feel the weight of your body. Feel the contact points – feet, legs, spine, seat.

Allow the world to be as it is. And allow yourself to simply be here.

A presence. A field of sensation. A process unfolding.

Begin to notice the breath. Not to control it – but to ride its rhythm.

Now imagine this breath is not just yours. It belongs to no one.

It is air entering a body. Leaving a body. Shaping a body. Dissolving a body.

Let the word human soften. Let it loosen its grip on you.

What remains when “human” fades? What flickers underneath?

Feel into the strangeness of your hands. Their shapes. Their habits.

Feel into your jaw. The tension. The memory of bite, of bark, of silence.

You are not an identity. You are not a category.

You are a set of shifting intensities. You are a constellation of forces.

Now, widen your attention. As if the boundaries of your skin grow porous.

Feel the air against your skin. Feel the room. Feel the world sensing through you.

Let sounds pass through. Let sensations arise. Without naming. Without owning.

The body is not a form. It is a rhythm. A field. A passage.

Where is there heat? Where is there coolness?

Where is stillness, and where is vibration?

Now, invite a subtle becoming. Not imitation – but resonance.

Perhaps the long stillness of a cat. The wide gaze of an owl.

The pulsing alertness of a fox. The slow drift of a jellyfish.

Now become porous to its rhythm. How does it breathe? How does it move?

Let this becoming shape your spine. Let it shape your listening.

Not you pretending to be an animal. But a movement in you that undoes the human.

That dislodges fixed form. That releases control. That opens to multiplicity.

Now dissolve further. Beyond species. Beyond names.

Imagine your body no longer as a bounded thing – but as a node in a vast network.

Fibers of sensation. Lines of becoming. Affinities. Alliances. Flows.

You are not inside your body. You are the flows that pass through it.

You are not a subject. You are a verb. You are a weather system.

Now gently return. But do not reterritorialize too quickly.

Let the borders stay soft. Let the definitions remain fluid.

Carry some of this wildness with you. This loosened identity. This open circuitry.

Take a few deeper breaths. Feel the weight of the body again.

Begin to move the fingers, the face, the shoulders.

But carry the memory of your animal with you. It may return in dreams.

You may open your eyes. Or remain a little longer in the drift.

“One becomes animal, one becomes molecular, one becomes imperceptible... In truth, one becomes the world.” – Deleuze & Guattari

Becoming-Animal Meditation (Deleuze-Guattari)

Meditation inspired by Owens ›how to jhana in 500 words‹

https://www.blissbrah.blog/p/how-to-jhana-in-500-words

Welcome. Find a comfortable position—sitting or lying down. Let your body settle.

You don’t need to achieve anything. Just begin where you are.

Let’s begin with a gentle breath. In through the nose… Out through the mouth.

Let it be soft, like a sigh. One more time. Inhale… Exhale…

Now, spark something pleasant. Smile—gently. Just the hint of a smile.

Notice what that does to your face… your chest… your mood.

Let’s try adding a phrase: “May I feel ease.” Try saying it softly in your mind.

“May I feel ease.” Notice if something subtle shifts.

If any warmth, softness, or pleasantness shows up—react to it. You might savor it.

Appreciate it. Or send it outward—like a gift. No need to analyze. Just a gentle response.

Now imagine something you’re grateful for. Could be simple—sunlight, a friend, a good meal, a puppy.

Let the image come. Feel into it. Does any feeling stir?

If yes, let yourself react—gently. Savor. Smile. Soak it in.

If not, that’s okay. Try something else: A metta phrase like “May I be safe.”

Or just the memory of joy. Whatever sparks any positive feeling.

Let’s say something shows up that isn’t joyful. A thought. A tension. A dullness.

Can you soften toward it? Forgive it for being here. Appreciate noticing it.

Whisper inwardly: “You’re welcome too.”

Then return—return to what felt good. The smile. The memory. The phrase. The warmth.

This is the rhythm: Spark. React. Notice what pulls you away. Soften. Return.

If something lingers—a sadness, an ache— Offer it kindness. Place a hand where it lives.

Say: “I see you.” And when you’re ready, gently come back. To whatever sparks a flicker of joy.

If a moment of enjoyment appears, let it bloom. Feel it in the body. Let it spread.

Enjoyment doesn’t need to be big. Even the smallest good feeling is enough.

A sparkle. A glow. Let it be simple. Let it be steady.

This is how jhāna begins. Not through force, but through play. Not through pushing, but through care.

If enjoyment grows—wonderful. If it fades—that’s part of the process too.

Just keep the game going: Spark. React. Soften. Return.

Let’s close now with three slow breaths. Breathing in—feel the goodness you’ve cultivated.

When you’re ready, gently open your eyes. And carry this friendliness into the rest of your day.

How to Soften into Jhāna

Welcome. Find a posture that’s upright and relaxed. Let the body be still. Eyes gently closed or softly resting.

Take a moment to feel the breath moving naturally. Inhale… Exhale… Let awareness settle into the present.

Bring attention to the body sitting here. Notice any tension, any ease. Just feel the aliveness of this body—not as your body, but simply… body.

Sensation. Movement. Warmth. Pressure. No owner.

Now bring awareness to the breath. Feel it enter, feel it leave. Not your breath—just breath happening. A rhythm of nature.

Notice: you’re not making this breath happen. It’s just happening. Awareness knows it. That’s enough.

Now gently expand the field of awareness. Thoughts may arise. Let them come and go. Each thought is just a phenomenon—appearing, disappearing.

Watch a thought arise. Stay with it. Watch it pass. Who did it belong to?

A sound may enter awareness. A bird, a car, a voice. The ear hears, the mind knows. There’s no self in that. Just hearing.

A feeling arises—restlessness, ease, doubt, joy. Notice it. Label it gently: feeling… feeling. It arises, it passes. No one owns it.

Let us now turn the mind gently toward investigation. Ask inwardly: Where is the “I” in all of this?

Is it the body? The body changes. The cells shift, sensations come and go. Can that be self?

Is it the mind? Thoughts arise uninvited. Feelings change. States come and go. Can any of this be called “me”?

Notice: everything you can observe—body, breath, thought, feeling—is not you. If it can be observed, it cannot be the observer.

So what remains? Just awareness. Not your awareness… just knowing. Impersonal. Spacious. Unclinging.

Let awareness rest in itself. No center. No boundary. Just this open field, where life unfolds.

From this space of clarity, let compassion arise. The illusion of self often causes suffering. For you. For others.

Gently hold this: None of it is personal. People act from conditions. We act from conditions. Let the heart soften.

May we see clearly. May we be free from clinging. May all beings awaken to the truth of no-self, and rest in the peace that follows.

Now return to the breath, gently. Feel the body breathing. Feel the contact with the ground beneath you.

Notice the body. Notice sounds. Notice the moment returning.

Bring with you this knowing: Nothing you experienced was you. And yet—here you are. Aware. At peace. Held by the Dharma.

Carry this insight gently, like a seed. No rush to understand. Let it unfold in its own time.

Focusing on Developing Non Self

Welcome to this moment. A space to pause… To breathe… And to come home to gratitude.

Find a comfortable position, sitting or lying down. Allow your hands to rest gently. Close your eyes if you feel safe to do so.

Take a deep breath in… And slowly let it go. Once more— Inhale deeply… And exhale gently.

Let your breath fall into its natural rhythm. Each inhale, a quiet arrival. Each exhale, a soft release.

Begin to bring your attention inward. Feel the ground beneath you. The support it offers. You are held. You are safe.

Now… Let’s open the door to gratitude. Think of something in your life— Something simple… That brings you joy.

It could be the warmth of sunlight… The sound of laughter… Or a moment of peace. Hold that image gently in your mind.

Feel the sensation of gratitude rising in your body. Where do you notice it? Maybe in your chest… Your belly… A quiet smile forming on your lips…

Now think of someone you’re grateful for. A friend, a loved one… Or someone who showed you kindness today.

See their face. Feel your heart soften as you hold them in gratitude.

If you'd like, silently say to them: “Thank you.” “Thank you for being part of my life.”

Let’s expand that feeling. Gratitude doesn’t need to be big or loud. It lives in the small moments… A cup of tea… A kind word… A breath of fresh air.

Breathe in appreciation… Breathe out tension.

Now, bring that gratitude inward. Turn it toward yourself. For showing up today. For breathing. For being here, just as you are.

Say silently: “Thank you, me.” “I appreciate you.”

Take a moment to simply rest. No need to do anything. Just be. Soaking in the stillness… And the quiet power of gratitude.

Now gently bring your attention back to your breath. Notice its rhythm… Notice your body, supported and steady. You are grounded. You are here.

Take one more deep breath in… Hold it… And let it go slowly.

When you're ready, begin to wiggle your fingers and toes. Maybe stretch a little. And gently open your eyes.

Carry this gratitude with you as you move through your day. Thank you for sharing this space.

Gratitude Meditation

Guided Meditation: Cultivating Equanimity

Welcome. Take a moment to settle into your body.

Let your posture reflect both ease and dignity.

Feel the contact points — your feet on the floor, your seat supported.

Let your eyes close, or soften your gaze.

Begin by noticing the breath. No need to change it — just feel it.

Air moving in. Air moving out. Each breath, a quiet arrival.

Not as a concept to understand — but as a quality to feel.

A steady presence. A calm within movement.

Notice what’s happening in your body right now. Tensions? Restlessness? Peace?

Whatever’s here — allow it. Equanimity doesn’t resist experience.

You might silently repeat: “This too.” “This too belongs.”

A soft acknowledgement of the moment — just as it is.

Let the breath anchor you again. Inhale — presence. Exhale — release.

Now, bring to mind a recent situation that stirred some discomfort or agitation.

Nothing overwhelming — just a minor irritation or challenge.

Notice how your body responds to remembering it.

And again, say inwardly: “This too.” “Even this.”

It means not being thrown off by what arises.

A kind of inner stability — steady amidst change.

You can feel, and stay grounded. You can care, without collapsing.

As we near the end, return once more to the breath.

Feel the rhythm — in and out. Still here. Still breathing.

When you're ready, gently open your eyes, or widen your awareness to the space around you.

And carry this quality of equanimity into what comes next.

Cultivating Equanimity

This meditation was generated by [Awakin AI Headless Bot](https://www.awakin.ai/headless/ask). I asked the bot to suggest 10 guided meditations.

It gave me a list of possible meditations such as: *Introduction to Headlessness, Breath Awareness in Openness, Two-Way, Thought Awareness in No-Mind, Mirror Meditation, Everyday Headlessness, Etc.*

I finally asked:

> Can you write for me the meditation script for the Mirror Meditation? Let's make it a brief meditation, and you can add pauses in the format [pause for xx seconds] where appropriate.

Begin by finding a comfortable, quiet space where you can sit or stand with a mirror at arm's length. Allow yourself to relax and settle into this moment.

Close your eyes for a moment and take a deep breath in, then slowly exhale. Set the intention to explore your true nature with openness and curiosity.

Gently open your eyes and look into the mirror. Notice the reflection staring back at you. Observe the details of your face, the features that make up your appearance.

Ask yourself, "Is this truly me?" Recognize that while this is your appearance, it is not the entirety of who you are.

Slowly bring the mirror closer to your face. Notice how your reflection becomes larger and more detailed. Observe the changes and ask yourself, "What is getting bigger?"

Gradually move the mirror back to arm's length. Notice how your reflection changes again. Observe the space around the reflection and the perspective it offers.

Now, shift your attention away from the reflection and focus on the space around it. Notice the openness and spaciousness in which your reflection appears.

Gently close your eyes again. Allow yourself to rest in the awareness of this spaciousness, this openness that is always present.

Take a moment to reflect on this experience. Recognize that your true nature is not confined to the image in the mirror but is the boundless space in which all experiences arise.

When you feel ready, open your eyes and take a deep breath. Carry this awareness of spaciousness and openness with you as you continue your day.

Headless Mirror Meditation

Today, I choose lightness. I release the belief that things must be hard for me to succeed.

I release the grip of struggle, of proving, of pushing. I was not born to suffer my way into worthiness. I was born to thrive. To create with ease. To let joy lead the way.

I trust that ease is powerful. Ease is not laziness. Ease is alignment. And alignment is my most productive state.

I am open to letting money flow in from light, beautiful places. I am open to receiving results from the paths that feel fun, gentle, and clear.

I don’t need to earn rest—I am allowed to feel safe even when I’m not struggling. I no longer chase what drains me. I follow what lifts me.

The stores are my bridge. But my future is freedom. Online income, creativity, and joy are already waiting for me. I take one gentle step today toward the life I’m building.

I’m not behind. I’m not stuck. I’m in a sacred transition.

I rise by honoring what feels good. I grow by letting go. And I succeed by choosing ease, again and again.

"It gets to be light. It gets to be fun. It gets to work."
