An Ocean Meditation by Dean Solon

bringing attention, lightly, to feeling the sensations of your breathing...letting your breath be natural...feeling the sensations of each breath, relaxing into each breath...feeling it through you...the soft sensations of breath coming and going, without effort.

just like watching the great ocean upon the shore, coming and going.
feeling the breath washing over you, and then withdrawing.
feeling the whole of the breath, each breath becoming the next.
the great tide of your breath inside you---feel it in the body, filling the body, bringing life and energy into the body...the body you are renting in this lifetime.

breathing in, breathing all of it, all of this, in
breathing out, breathing all of it, all of this, out

by the ocean, with the water, with the expanse of water, with the waves, with the gulls, the sounds, the smells, the sand at your feet.
sitting quietly, allowing the peace and the stillness to be moving through you, and filling you with the fullness of the Silence.

here, at the ocean, with the ocean, with the richness of this...and the emptiness of this...
with all of this, with awareness...with awareness...

with the great expanse of waters offering a clarity of who you are in this moment.
with the great expanse of waters offering a clarity of who you are in this lifetime.

breathing in, breathing all of it, all of this, in
breathing out, breathing all of it, all of this, out
