Evening Reset Meditation with Gary Dean | Relax, Breathe & Recenter · Eye Opener Society

• 0:00
  Hello, everyone, and welcome back to another guided meditation series.
• 0:07
  My name is Gary Dean, and this is Eye Opener Society.
• 0:11
  I want to thank you all for joining me for this.
• 0:14
  As you know, when it comes to meditation, this is my thing.
• 0:20
  And I love sharing it, I love giving people an opportunity to dive into meditation in
• 0:26
  some way, shape, or form, or even just to talk about it, because it really helps in
• 0:32
  so many ways.
• 0:35
  Now, as of this recording right now, I just got in from work.
• 0:41
  I've had a long day, I've been trapped indoors, you know, typical cubicle stuff, lousy HVAC,
• 0:50
  and it's time to just sit down, unwind, because really, that's what we do with meditation.
• 0:57
  We unwind ourselves, relax the body, relax the mind, and then dive into something that
• 1:06
  the meditation actually brings us.
• 1:09
  And that's what people always miss.
• 1:11
  The more we do these meditations, the more our mind starts to give us these little trips
• 1:18
  away from reality for a while.
• 1:21
  And we don't have to think so hard, but it only comes through practice only if you've
• 1:26
  been doing it, like I said, at least 10 minutes a day, right?
• 1:29
  Very simple, but I don't know how many people are actually doing that, but I'm hoping everybody
• 1:34
  is doing something along their part, because you're not going to achieve every single thing
• 1:41
  that you really would be getting out of these meditations, you know, unless you're practicing
• 1:47
  every single day.
• 1:48
  So what I like to do now with these series, and like I said, I was going to back off on
• 1:52
  the series a little bit, and I was only going to do that because, you know, time constraints
• 1:57
  and all, but I'm finding that my platform is probably better than any other platform
• 2:02
  right now, especially when it comes to social media.
• 2:05
  So I have a little bit more time, and I'm giving you as much as I can with these.
• 2:10
  So let's take a moment.
• 2:14
  Right there.
• 2:15
  All I did was exhale.
• 2:16
  Didn't even inhale, and I'm already in a state of mind right now where I'm just hyper-focused
• 2:24
  on the moment.
• 2:28
  There's nothing.
• 2:29
  There's only quietness right now that's going on.
• 2:32
  I have nothing to think about.
• 2:34
  I'm removing all of the, you know, day, basically, from my mind, and that's all it took me, and
• 2:41
  this comes from practice.
• 2:43
  Just one simple exhale, and I'm in this meditative state.
• 2:49
  That instantly, that quick.
• 2:51
  It may not appear so because I am talking.
• 2:54
  I do have to focus on a conversation, but if I was here without you guys with me, it
• 3:01
  would just be silence, but I'm going to talk out loud with everything that I'm bringing
• 3:07
  into my mind, bringing into my body, bringing into my soul, this way you get an idea of
• 3:15
  just what goes on, and that's how I would like to guide you from here on in.
• 3:21
  So some breathing, and I'm just doing gentle breathing in and out, and I'm just focusing
• 3:32
  on it.
• 3:33
  That's it.
• 3:34
  Nothing more.
• 3:36
  I will focus on my breathing, and it brings me into a deeper state of relaxing.
• 3:46
  My body starts to slowly quiet itself, because not only do you got to worry so much about
• 3:53
  your mind, but your body is reactive to all of the environmental stimulants, so you got
• 4:01
  to let your body relax, too, as well, along with your mind, and that's what the breathing
• 4:06
  does.
• 4:07
  You focus on it, and just allow it to be, and you can feel your body becoming much more
• 4:13
  comfortable, much more quiet, very simply relaxed.
• 4:20
  So where would we like to go today?
• 4:27
  Right now, my mind is really focusing on, it's really, I'm only going to tell you what's
• 4:35
  on.
• 4:36
  I'm seeing like a plate, like a dinner plate, but it's black against black, but I'm focused
• 4:42
  on it.
• 4:43
  I'm hyper-focused on it.
• 4:46
  There's really no contrast.
• 4:47
  It's black on black, and it's just a plate.
• 4:51
  It's empty.
• 4:52
  There's nothing on it.
• 4:53
  That's all I see, but it's helping me relax.
• 4:58
  My mind is becoming calmer as I'm seeing it.
• 5:04
  I'm seeing a tree now, and that tree is against that disc, whatever it is.
• 5:11
  It's just circular.
• 5:12
  It almost looks like a dinner plate to me, but again, it's a black plate against a black
• 5:16
  background.
• 5:17
  There's no contrast, and I'm seeing a tree.
• 5:21
  It's a dark green, and it's just outlined kind of like a cookie cutter.
• 5:26
  It's not like an actual tree or a painting.
• 5:29
  It's like a cookie cutter kind of tree.
• 5:32
  I'm trying to figure it out.
• 5:36
  So I guess the blackness, the emptiness on my plate, so the emptiness on my plate, that's
• 5:43
  right now.
• 5:44
  It's empty.
• 5:45
  Everything is empty.
• 5:46
  I can introduce that tree into that.
• 5:50
  It's the first thing I could put on my plate, and I could start bringing in the sounds of
• 5:55
  nature, start drawing in a sky, a beautiful non-chemtrailed sky.
• 6:05
  Imagine that.
• 6:06
  It's very serene, very relaxing, just to have all the blackness, and then just have a blue
• 6:14
  clear sky, free of clouds, free of chemtrails, just in the background.
• 6:22
  I'm trying to picture this tree now looking more like a regular tree, and there it is.
• 6:30
  And there's wind blowing.
• 6:31
  There's wind blowing through this tree, and it's a good wind.
• 6:35
  It's not a strong, violent wind.
• 6:36
  It's just enough to get the branches moving, and as I'm seeing that, I'm seeing that tree
• 6:43
  now.
• 6:44
  It's coming to life, and it seems like everything now, I had nothing on my plate, but now I'm
• 6:49
  bringing life into everything, and it's relaxing, and I can actually feel the wind now.
• 6:58
  I'm feeling that wind on me, and it's really calming me.
• 7:05
  It's a calm, restful state of mind, and it's just a single tree against this clear, clear
• 7:15
  sky, gentle breezes and winds blowing, and I can't feel any temperature.
• 7:23
  I cannot feel that, but I'm just seeing, I missed this black plate that's empty, nothing
• 7:31
  on my plate, but there is now a beautiful sky everywhere.
• 7:37
  It's drowning out that plate, and the sky is blue.
• 7:42
  There is a bright, bright sun, probably from another direction because I don't see the
• 7:47
  sun in this, but I'm lost.
• 7:53
  I'm lost in between that tree and the sky, and that's kind of where my soul is right
• 7:59
  now.
• 8:00
  That's what I'm seeing.
• 8:02
  It's a very odd image, just seeing my soul in between these, just like, it's like a paper
• 8:11
  cutout almost of the sky, but I can still feel the realism in it, but the tree is very
• 8:19
  much alive.
• 8:20
  It's very much realistic looking, and I can see all the movement and all, and I'm just
• 8:26
  floating kind of in between.
• 8:28
  That's what's coming to mind, and people, this is what happens during a meditation.
• 8:33
  There's a lot of symbolism that can come through, and what all this means, I don't know, but
• 8:38
  right now I'm picking up that black plate as an empty plate, there should be nothing
• 8:41
  on my plate, and there's nothing, so that means it's cleaned my mind out.
• 8:46
  I don't need anything, I just need myself right now, my soul, myself, right here in
• 8:53
  this moment, and it's very serene, and it's very calming just to see myself in that middle,
• 9:01
  so picture yourself in that middle too.
• 9:03
  Picture yourself wherever your mind is taking you.
• 9:05
  Like I said, this is just my little journey in my head at this moment.
• 9:12
  It's nothing intense, I didn't really get myself ready for this meditation, like I said,
• 9:19
  I can just go right into this meditative state instantly, and whatever it brings, it brings.
• 9:26
  Now if I wanted something deeper, I'd prepare for that, I'd have a lot more going on, I
• 9:31
  might have binaural beats, I might have, you know, something more to add to it, but right
• 9:36
  now, this is stillness, this is the moment that I want, the end of my workday, to calm
• 9:44
  myself, this is what's happening, this is a glimpse inside of my mind.
• 9:48
  My words are just giving you that, you can use them if you like, but I would like for
• 9:54
  you to feel whatever is in your mind, whatever crosses your mind, whatever you see, take
• 10:00
  note of it, focus and concentrate on it, it might mean something to you, or it just might
• 10:06
  be something that's telling you, this is where you need to be right now, and let's just sit
• 10:13
  and focus on that, that's all, sit and focus, focus on your mind, focus on the beauty that
• 10:22
  is you.
• 10:23
  People don't realize that, we don't see that enough, the beauty that is I, it's a great
• 10:28
  affirmation right now, that's what just came to me, the beauty that is I.
• 10:33
  It's non-egotistical, it's just saying, I am beautiful as I am, and that's what you
• 10:38
  should repeat to yourself, I am beautiful as I am, and I'm feeling light, I'm feeling
• 10:49
  very light, wow, so right now as I said then, I'm just feeling like a cloud, I'm feeling
• 11:01
  like a cloud, that's what I feel like, if you knew what a cloud was to feel like, well,
• 11:07
  this is what I feel like, I have this strange resemblance to a cloud as I'm picturing myself,
• 11:13
  but I'm not white, I'm not that pure cloud white, I'm kind of like a grayish, and not
• 11:19
  like a storm cloud, but I'm just, there's a lot of darkness, but it's a good darkness,
• 11:24
  it's nothing to fear, it's nothing depressing, it feels light, it feels happy, it feels freeing,
• 11:35
  and I'm just trying to give you everything I'm seeing, but that's all I'm seeing is myself
• 11:39
  right now as some sort of a cloud, like some sort of gray on gray contrast, but I'm getting
• 11:44
  this cloud imagery of myself, and I'm seeing everything from a different, kind of like
• 11:53
  colorblind I guess, but I'm seeing everything, so I guess I don't have to look at details,
• 12:02
  I'm only enjoying the moment, I'm only freeing myself so I am calmly moving about. It's a very
• 12:14
  interesting feel. I would love for someone to reach out to me, anybody, and tell me the things
• 12:21
  that you see and the things you are visualizing while you're doing this guided meditation,
• 12:26
  churchofeos at gmail.com, that's where you can reach me. I would love to hear some feedback,
• 12:36
  just I would love to hear what everybody else feels when they're doing this, churchofeos at
• 12:41
  gmail.com, when you get a chance, write me, tell me what you see, but this is nice,
• 12:48
  and I'm feeling really calm, and I'm feeling stuff as I'm moving my hands, and if you notice too,
• 12:55
  if you are watching this on video, I move around, I get motion, motion is beautiful,
• 13:01
  keep your body in motion, it helps to stir up the energy, and it helps you to gather in everything
• 13:07
  that you need for your soul. You can remain still if you feel you need to remain still, do so,
• 13:13
  but a lot of times meditation doesn't need to be still, there could be motion, and as I move,
• 13:18
  and as I move my hands, I'm feeling softness, nice rose, like pillowy again, I'm getting
• 13:27
  cloud imagery, but I'm feeling that, it's calm, it's comforting,
• 13:33
  it's almost like great for my senses right now,
• 13:39
  and I'm starting to feel a little bit of coolness, which is good because it's really hot out today,
• 13:43
  so I'm starting to feel a little bit of coolness, probably from those breezes that I was envisioning
• 13:47
  with that tree, I'm starting to feel it as I move, it's a wonderful good little feeling,
• 14:02
  and now I'm just silent.
• 14:10
  Right now a lot of it is just sensory, I'm just feeling a lot of
• 14:14
  softness, that's all, nothing else is really going through my mind,
• 14:20
  it's a very serene, comforting state right now, I'm pretty happy about it.
• 14:28
  So I'm hoping you're envisioning something really cool as well, something really unique,
• 14:33
  sometimes it's hard to get it out because sometimes, like it is, it's just sensory,
• 14:39
  and it's sometimes hard to describe that, it might be hard to describe what you're seeing
• 14:44
  or feeling too, but anything, again, I really want you to reach out to me when you can,
• 14:50
  let me know, let me know how these meditations, if they help you or not, these are just very
• 14:55
  generalized, random meditations, but again, it gives you an idea just how easy it is to do it,
• 15:02
  you see how quickly I got into my meditative state.
• 15:09
  I'm just focusing now on my center, grounding myself,
• 15:16
  trying to see what else is going on in my mind, and
• 15:20
  my mind, my brain almost feels like it's just floating, it's there, it's aware, it's happy,
• 15:30
  but it's just quiet.
• 15:35
  All right, I'm gonna bring myself right back, bring yourself back,
• 15:42
  this is something you could continue on too, you don't need to stop when I stop,
• 15:45
  if you want to remain in your state of calm and relaxing, please do so, that's so, so important,
• 15:52
  you do this the way you feel you need to do it, like I said, I'm just a guide.
• 16:00
  Now, as I come back and I'm back into awareness and I see the room around me and all,
• 16:07
  I still feel so relaxed and calm and very aware, that's the other thing, very, very aware of
• 16:13
  everything, but it's a wonderful feeling, I hope everybody else had a nice, quiet little moment
• 16:21
  that you could take for yourself, and you could do it again later today, you could do it 10 times
• 16:27
  today, 5 times, 100 times today, whatever you want, and that's the great thing with meditation,
• 16:33
  you could do it any time that you like. I just want to thank you again for tuning in,
