• 0:02
  Hello, everyone. Welcome back to Eye Opener Society and welcome back to another
• 0:07
  guided meditation series.
• 0:09
  My name is Gary Dean. I want to thank you for joining me here in this space
• 0:13
  that's for you to relax and enjoy.
• 0:19
  Let us all focus in on ourselves.
• 0:23
  This is something we don't always do. And this is a very important lesson that I must teach to you.
• 0:30
  We as individuals all need our own time and our own space.
• 0:35
  We need to actually be able to experience ourselves.
• 0:43
  We do this through meditation. And whenever we start, whenever we're getting
• 0:48
  ready for a session, whenever I tell you, you know, find your comfortable spot,
• 0:52
  this is what we're doing. We're seeking ourselves.
• 0:57
  If we're able to reach inside of us, find our soul, find our center,
• 1:03
  ground ourselves, this is the space that we really want to be in.
• 1:08
  Our physical environment around us, that's one thing.
• 1:12
  But what we're really doing when we're getting into a meditative state is we're
• 1:17
  actually focusing in amongst ourselves, our deeper selves, our truer selves.
• 1:25
  So whenever you're trying to get comfortable or in that position,
• 1:29
  you know, that makes you feel good and you're ready to go.
• 1:34
  You are now going to concentrate deeper inside of yourself.
• 1:41
  Find that center. Find that place.
• 1:44
  That is where we go when we meditate.
• 1:48
  So, why don't we try doing that? And why don't we do it through a guided meditation session?
• 1:54
  I think that will be the best way to get through something like this.
• 1:57
  And I think it's something important that we learn so that we'll be able to
• 2:02
  do it each and every time when we're getting ready to get into our meditative state. So, focus.
• 2:09
  And we start just by concentrating on our breathing, our own breath.
• 2:16
  Again, we're not taking deep breaths. We're not inhaling deeply.
• 2:20
  We're just focused on our breath.
• 2:25
  The more we do that, the more centered we become.
• 2:31
  When we do this, what we're actually doing is drawing attention to ourself rather
• 2:39
  than just trying to relax or to focus.
• 2:43
  We're drawing attention to ourselves, our physical self. This is where we want to be.
• 2:48
  So we do that by just concentrating on our own breath.
• 2:55
  And we feel that breath.
• 3:00
  We become much more aware of who we are now.
• 3:05
  We start to take notice of ourself in this moment.
• 3:12
  And this is the point where we like to get ourselves grounded.
• 3:16
  We know where we are and we're focused.
• 3:24
  So, by concentrating on our breath, we are focusing in on our center,
• 3:32
  our souls, the deeper, truer self, rather than just our physical body.
• 3:38
  The physical breathing reminds us of our physical body, and it reminds us of
• 3:43
  our center, and it takes us there, and then we go deeper.
• 3:50
  So go deeper with me. Let's go inside now.
• 3:56
  We're shutting out the outside world. We're shutting out the physical environment around us.
• 4:02
  And we're here with our breath.
• 4:06
  And that's the only sound we should be listening to other than my voice,
• 4:10
  which is nothing more than a guide leading you onto a journey.
• 4:17
  Feel your breath. you can physically feel your breathing.
• 4:24
  You can feel your lungs expand, your chest rise and fall, or if you're a belly
• 4:30
  breather, you feel your belly rising and falling, and we're very, very aware of this.
• 4:39
  And as we breathe, our other senses start to take place, much like smelling,
• 4:45
  and we can smell the air around us.
• 4:48
  I have incense burning. And if you have the same or just whatever it is,
• 4:54
  we're concentrating on these things. And we're only concentrating that on them within us.
• 5:01
  Again, outside of the physical properties of wherever it is you are.
• 5:06
  We are finding our center and we're closing in into our breathing system.
• 5:12
  And we're very aware of it.
• 5:16
  Notice how it just works on its own. We don't have to think about it in order for it to work.
• 5:23
  All we're doing is concentrating on it, listening to it, feeling it.
• 5:31
  And as we get deeper, and we become more focused and more grounded to our centers,
• 5:40
  we could go deeper inside.
• 5:43
  There's an emptier space somewhere within us.
• 5:47
  That empty space is not really empty. It's containing our souls.
• 5:52
  It contains our consciousness. this is where our true self is.
• 6:00
  Let's open the door, walk inside, and explore it a little bit.
• 6:07
  As we open up that door, what we're going to notice is that we're stepping into
• 6:13
  a very cosmic world where everything and anything all comes together.
• 6:20
  We're in the center of that wide, vast, cosmic journey,
• 6:27
  so again, it's not really empty space it's a world full of anything and everything
• 6:34
  that you can imagine possible how does it get inside of us?
• 6:40
  What triggers our consciousness?
• 6:44
  These are questions we can ask ourselves while we are here We may come up with
• 6:50
  the answer Or we may be guided to other knowledge.
• 6:56
  But let's float around in here Because time and space does not exist Gravity does not exist,
• 7:04
  Everything and anything that you thought you knew You don't anymore This is
• 7:11
  a world where anything can happen,
• 7:13
  Anything can be created our own inside our own consciousness this vast world of absolute beauty is.
• 7:29
  We are now wondering why and how our body is able to contain all of this.
• 7:38
  It's almost like two separate dimensions, our physical world and the physical properties around us.
• 7:45
  And then our consciousness, our inner soul, is so much larger than anything can ever be imagined.
• 7:54
  And somehow, it is inside of us.
• 7:58
  Let's reflect on that let's think about that,
• 8:06
  let us give thanks to that because in honesty with all of that that is inside
• 8:14
  of us that entire cosmos inside of our bodies,
• 8:20
  it's telling us just how strong and how powerful we are.
• 8:28
  Reflect on that again, and let's do an affirmation.
• 8:35
  I embody the entire cosmos within me.
• 8:42
  Say that over again. I embody the entire cosmos inside of me.
• 8:50
  Reaffirm that. Embrace it.
• 8:56
  Understand it.
• 9:00
  Notice how inside of this world, just how peaceful we are.
• 9:08
  If we wish to have noise, confusion, fun, entertainment, we could draw that
• 9:15
  up instantly right here in our consciousness.
• 9:19
  We don't need much else.
• 9:24
  So whatever it is that you want whatever it is you are trying to achieve now
• 9:32
  is the time to do it envision it picture it,
• 9:40
  it doesn't matter how wild it
• 9:42
  is it doesn't matter how imaginary it is think it and you will become it,
• 9:51
  play with it. It's very fun in here.
• 9:57
  You don't have to worry about any kind of nonsense, any kind of suppression.
• 10:04
  Just be what it is you want to be here.
• 10:13
  Colors are limitless. Here you could create colors that are outside of our own
• 10:20
  spectrum that our eyes see.
• 10:22
  We can create it here.
• 10:26
  Sounds well beyond our frequency range of hearing can be heard here.
• 10:33
  Images so far from the imagination can be drawn up right here.
• 10:43
  And if you notice just how easy it was to get into your center,
• 10:49
  just focusing on your breathing for a few moments, then turning and looking inside of yourself,
• 10:58
  it's always here. You can always come and reflect on it whenever you like.
• 11:06
  This is your body. This is your soul. You are in control of it.
• 11:12
  You control when you would like to be inside of this When you want to be in
• 11:16
  a meditative state Or whenever you want to go outside of this state It's up
• 11:22
  to you You control it You work it.
• 11:29
  Let's play here for a while Keep drawing up your pictures While even though
• 11:36
  this is a guided meditation I'm allowing you to draw up your own visions right now.
• 11:44
  You are inside of your consciousness, not I.
• 11:49
  Again, I am nothing more than a voice walking you through an experience.
• 11:57
  So have fun. Be playful.
• 12:03
  Envision things that are fun, enjoyable, and distract you from the outside world and play in it.
• 12:12
  Enjoy it. Embrace it. It is all yours.
• 12:20
  It's amazing the things you can see. It's amazing the things you can draw up.
• 12:28
  I want you to remember while you're in this space now, this is all yours and it's accessible.
• 12:37
  Just turn your vision inside of yourself.
• 12:43
  Spend a few moments there whenever you want just to remind yourself it's ready.
• 12:50
  It's accessible, and you can enjoy it whenever you like.
• 13:03
  Now, you have experienced just what it is that's inside of you.
• 13:10
  And just as easy as it was to come inside, it's just as easy to leave.
• 13:17
  You're fully grounded. You return yourself to your breathing.
• 13:25
  And you start to remember your body.
• 13:33
  Where it is, where you are right now, and you're relaxed.
• 13:40
  You're comfortable. You're in peace, and you are safe.
• 13:48
  So as you return back, you still feel your consciousness because your consciousness
• 13:56
  is what's keeping you focused on everything. thing.
• 14:02
  If it gets too distracted, just look in again deeper inside of yourself so you
• 14:08
  can pick up what it is you need to focus on.
• 14:13
