Be Here Now Meditation, with Christine Soza

5 Minutes of Peace

Christine Soza is the founder of True North Awakening. She offers a more holistic approach to anyone at any stage of life, allowing space for self-discovery and ease to those facing a terminal diagnosis.

Christine has been a caregiver since an early age and found her life calling as an End-of-Life Doula and Medical Reiki Practitioner. Her passion is helping people at any stage of life. Softening the edges as we navigate our life experiences and allowing for a softer landing at the end of life, is her wish for you.

The name "True North Awakening" has deep meaning to Christine as she has been able to find her own personal True North as she experienced many personal losses and found direction in her own healing journey.

It is when we deeply connect with those who are facing their own mortality, or at a personal crossroads in their healing journey, do we learn about truly living and finding deeper meaning in our lives.

Here is a transcript of her Be Here Now meditation:

I have found that meditation can be a very useful tool in assisting people to move into a space of calm and peace.

This is one of the meditations that I use in my practice to help soften the edges and helps to create a sense of ease and comfort, even in a very challenging time in your life.

This meditation is called “Be here now” and will be a waking meditation where we will practice keeping our eyes open and stay alert but allowing our body and mind to relax just enough so we can find a sense of peace right here right now, at this moment. The thought of being here now remind us that all is well right at this moment.

I’d like to invite you to just land right where you are…

Notice the air flowing in and out of your nostrils or mouth and just notice that your breath is beginning to slow. We are grateful for that breath of life.

Invoke all of the senses around you, perhaps become the observer of your environment.

What do you see?

What do you hear?

What do you taste?

What do you feel?

If you notice any areas of tension in your body, just allow your body to soften and relax, you may need to adjust a bit.

Imagine that it is a beautiful sunny day, and you are outside. It could be anywhere that feels right to you: by the ocean or in the mountains or in your back yard where the flowers and grass are growing with the help of the sunshine.

Be here now-take a seat wherever it feels comfortable to you and begin to feel the sunshine down on you. The temperature is perfect outside and you begin to feel relaxed already. All is well and perfect at this moment.

Begin to imagine that the beautiful sun is shining down just for you, allowing a space for deep healing and peace. With each breath you are feeling more and more relaxed and centered. Imagine as if the sun is pouring its contents in through the crown of your head, and it feels like warm honey filling very cell in your body giving you exactly what you need at this moment.

Beginning at the top of your head, imagine the sun now pouring in you down the back of your head,

Your brows

Your cheeks

Your chin,

Your neck

Your shoulders, feeling your shoulders relax

Warm sunlight energy feels so good

Down your arms down to your fingers

Your strong back, all the weight you have been carrying, just let it go for now,

Your chest feeling more relaxed,

Your belly begins to soften

Your hips, relaxed

Your legs

Your thighs

Your calves

Your feet and toes

Allow yourself to feel what it is like to fully relax and to be present

Notice your breath

Be Here Now

When you are ready begin to come back by wiggling your fingers and toes and feeling the seat beneath you, feeling refreshed and relaxed knowing that all is well, right at this moment.

Allowing yourself to be fully present is the greatest gift to give to yourself and I would encourage you to practice this as many times as you wish to be able to find peace even in the center of the storm. Because it is possible and available to everyone.
