Meditation and Yoga Remixes

Glacier cracks, shattered, sound waves spin outward through the elements and inter-beings; whales, wind, rainsticks, birds, the keepers of time, storytellers, one voice, heart beating, blues of the oceans, resilient, our Earth speaks.

A sound meditation mix of alchemy, awareness, strength and hope. The stillness within sound and motion, it’s happening while you read this.

“We postulate that climate change is changing Earth’s natural acoustic fabric,” write researchers in the journal Trends in Ecology & Evolution. These are shifts “that all sound-sensitive organisms, marine and terrestrial, may experience.”

In the field of soundscape ecology, they use a term “biophony,”, the suite of sounds in interconnected habitats. Researchers propose that climate change is “transforming two components of global soundscapes”—the biophony and also the geophony, the latter a term for all those noises that, like wind and moving water, have non-biological origins but literally set the stage for life’s concert.” - Anthropocene, Brandon Keim

Dharmakaya

a mindfulness meditation © daniel lauter 2015,  breathe at your own pace, for seeing that which is unseen, deep relaxation, enjoy being in this moment

Aware of the emptiness of shells I breathe in 
Aware of those who have walked before me I breathe out 

Aware of each and every grain of sand I breathe in 
Aware of aspiring to see all that is unseen I breathe out 

Aware of the infinite ocean I breathe in 
Aware of the past, present and future waves I breathe out 

Aware of the gentleness of my footprint in the sand I breathe in 
Aware of its temporary nature as the tide erases it I breathe out 

Aware of abandoned feathers I breathe in 
Aware of faces on the rocks that know their stories I breathe out 

Aware of the pounding of the waves I breathe in 
Aware of the gentle pounding of your heart I breathe out 

Aware of calm seas and rough seas I breathe in 
Aware that we experience both of these within ourselves I breathe out

Aware of the rising moon on the horizon I breathe in 
Aware of the comfort in knowing the tides never stop I breathe out 

Aware of the depths of the water I breathe in 
Aware of what is beneath the surface in each of us I breathe out 

Aware of the sound of waves I breathe in 
Aware of the harmonious call of the wind I breathe out 

Aware of the sandcastles I breathe in 
Aware of the dreams of those who build I breathe out 

Aware of birds hovering in currents of air I breathe in 
Aware that I can pause in stillness I breathe out 

Aware of each blade of dune grass I breathe in 
Aware of the fragility and balance of the land I breathe out 

Aware of appreciation for the rising and setting sun I breathe in 
Aware of the enjoyment of each moment in the impermanence of our lives I breathe out

Inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh, In The Moment is a series of mindfulness meditations that use our in and out breath to de-stress and generate calming of mind. Through mindful observation of location and our relationship to it, we use spoken phrases, poetry and breath to see and listen deeply and to enable seeing that which may have previously been unseen. This generates clarity and focus on your relationship to the space around you.  These meditations gently transport us to the ocean dunes, forest, lake, blue sky, mountain, waterfront, city and the clear blue of the sky.

Dunes

a mindfulness meditation © daniel lauter 2015,  breathe at your own pace, for seeing that which is unseen, deep relaxation, enjoy being in this moment

Aware of the flow of fresh streams I breathe in
Aware of my currents of thought I breathe out

Aware of the edge of the shore I breathe in
Aware of my next steps in life I breathe out

Aware of the rushing waterfall I breathe in
Aware of finding silence in the midst of activity I breathe out

Aware of the memories of rising mist I breathe in
Aware of the gentle transitions we face I breathe out

Aware as I enter the lake I breathe in
Aware of the calm as I enter my mind I breathe out

Aware of the mud and the murk I breathe in
Aware of unconditional love I breathe out

Aware of the ripples of waves I breathe in
Aware as each passing thought drifts away I breathe out

Aware of the lilly pads floating I breathe in
Aware of the balance of energy I breathe out

Aware of my now softened eyes I breathe in
Aware of tranquility and peace I breathe out  

Aware of the rain that once fell I breathe in
Aware of each droplet suspended in air I breathe out

Aware of the depth of the lake I breathe in
Aware of the things i can't see I breathe out

Aware of bugs skimming the surface I breathe in
Aware of the depths of my mind I breathe out

Aware of the shimmering sun I breathe in
Aware it reflects my smile I breathe out

Aware where the sky meets the lake I breathe in
Aware that we mirror each other I breathe out
