  Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Eye Opener Society's Guided Meditation
• 0:07
  series. We want to welcome everybody back, and I thank you for joining us.
• 0:12
  My name is Gary Dean, and I host Eye Opener Society alongside the wonderful
• 0:17
  Cosmic Fairy Princess, Lizzie.
• 0:20
  This guided meditation is going to be a little bit different,
• 0:22
  and I always like doing something different,
• 0:25
  and experimental, because that's
• 0:29
  what meditation is about, is to find new avenues in the mind that help us,
• 0:35
  guide us, relax us, whatever the case may be.
• 0:39
  The one thing I always found difficult with doing these is the fact that I'm not watching anybody.
• 0:45
  I like to have a class where there's maybe 20 or 30 people around,
• 0:49
  and I could talk to the crowd, and I could feel the energies.
• 0:53
  So what I have to do when I do these is feel my own energies and feel the moment that I'm in.
• 1:00
  And then convert it to hopefully what I feel the audience needs.
• 1:06
  And that's where there's a problem.
• 1:08
  Because this is nothing more than generalized meditations for you.
• 1:14
  Like I said, I could always create a personalized one for you.
• 1:18
  Just reach out to eosmeditation at gmail.com. and I could create a personal
• 1:23
  meditation just for you.
• 1:26
  So what I'm going to try with this is I'm just going to go with the flow of
• 1:31
  the moment, the moment that I'm in right now, and I'm going to go into a meditative state,
• 1:37
  and I'm just going to talk based upon anything that comes across my mind.
• 1:43
  It's experimental, should be fun.
• 1:46
  You, the audience, are going to be involved, and you are going to be in your
• 1:51
  space, and you are going to find the things that are flowing in your mind.
• 1:56
  And hopefully, cosmically, we can all connect. That's the goal.
• 2:02
  That's what I'm trying to do.
• 2:04
  So, once again, hit pause. Go find your comfortable spot. Relax.
• 2:10
  Set the room up. Set the space up. It's your space.
• 2:14
  It's your moment. this moment is going to be for you so be comfortable when
• 2:20
  you come back we'll be ready so we want to start obviously just getting ourselves
• 2:27
  into that meditative state and again.
• 2:33
  I'm going to do everything based just upon my moment and anything that comes
• 2:40
  to my mind will be shared.
• 2:43
  Now, if there's long pauses, I'm going to switch to energy, focus on our breathing.
• 2:51
  This way, there's no long pauses. But again, if there is a pause,
• 2:56
  just remember, focus on your moment, your time, your thoughts, your imagination.
• 3:08
  So breathe and just concentrate on the ins and outs of your breath,
• 3:17
  no deep breaths nothing like that this is simple it's just breathing happens naturally,
• 3:26
  but focus on it focus on your breath the softness the quiet this moment what is the takeaway,
• 3:42
  what is your creative idea.
• 3:49
  There's so much magic around us and we just don't always realize it.
• 3:55
  If we focus on some of these moments when we're quiet, we could understand where
• 4:01
  the magic is in our lives.
• 4:05
  We can feel the energies. We know it moves. We know we can manipulate it.
• 4:10
  We know we can alchemize things.
• 4:12
  This is the beauty of magic.
• 4:17
  Focus on that. focus on the amazingness of that, focus on the fact that that's
• 4:23
  a reality, that we are surrounded by magic, and we get to control that magic.
• 4:28
  We get to make it work for us.
• 4:31
  That's beautiful. We can even move that energy forward and make magic happen for others.
• 4:37
  It's an amazing, amazing concept.
• 4:40
  So let's think about that for a little bit.
• 4:44
  So we focus on our breath think about all the magic that's around us.
• 4:53
  Let's pull in another thought there's mornings I wake up now that the season
• 4:58
  is right and I hear a woodpecker,
• 5:03
  and while most people may find that annoying especially first thing in the morning
• 5:08
  the packing of a woodpecker knocking on that wood,
• 5:12
  it's still spiritually it's a sign it's beauty it's nature and it's being incorporated
• 5:19
  right into our life and it's being done so for a reason.
• 5:28
  Let's focus.
• 5:30
  Let's search through our minds. With this experimental meditation,
• 5:37
  where I'm just pulling my own thoughts out of my head, you should be doing the same.
• 5:43
  Just pull some random thoughts and ideas. That's what meditation's about. Focus on them.
• 5:49
  If it's something you don't want to hear, if it has to do with anything negative,
• 5:53
  we just acknowledge it and then let it go. That's all.
• 5:58
  But we need to find the good things.
• 6:01
  Like I'm looking at colors and space. You know, the blackness of space.
• 6:10
  The lack of colors. But there's an interesting contrast between the brightness of the stars.
• 6:16
  And then when you start to look at nebulas and all the gases.
• 6:20
  There's beautiful colors and hues even in that darkness.
• 6:25
  That's an amazing thing. it's kind of like when we clear everything and we're
• 6:30
  thinking of nothing is beautiful darkness is beautiful,
• 6:35
  there's always color there's always contrast somewhere let's focus on that for a moment.
• 6:47
  When it's light and the sun's out and we can see the many different colors,
• 6:55
  is sometimes the warmness of the colors it's a beautiful interesting because
• 7:04
  if there was no colors and it was a monochromatic world it would still be interesting
• 7:09
  colors are creating something.
• 7:19
  Breathe and focus. Focus on the breathing. What's coming next out of your mind? What thoughts?
• 7:29
  Take this moment. Think anything. And elaborate on it inside of your own mind. Expand it.
• 7:38
  See how it applies to you. Whatever it is that comes across.
• 7:43
  I'm thinking right now about music. Sounds.
• 7:47
  Interesting how different genres and music different tempos,
• 7:51
  different beats the ones that resonate with us the ones that fill up our soul
• 7:55
  the ones that make us want to get up and dance or sing,
• 8:00
  music is amazing it's an amazing form of meditation because we can sit in those
• 8:05
  moments and listen to those words or the lyrics or just listening to the beats or to the arrangements,
• 8:14
  Absolutely incredible as it fills my mind right now.
• 8:19
  All the beautiful sounds when they all compress together and they string a whole
• 8:24
  new different beautiful language.
• 8:29
  Focus. Find what's coming into your mind next.
• 8:34
  Allow only beautiful things. Filter out all the negative. Bring it in the positive.
• 8:41
  Mmm. I'm just coming across my mind, tastes, different foods,
• 8:47
  wonderful tastes, textures, flavors.
• 8:51
  These things are very energetically connected to us.
• 8:55
  We find connections with certain foods that we eat that bring us back to our
• 9:00
  childhoods, the flavors.
• 9:03
  Focus on that.
• 9:06
  Breathe. Think. What comes across your mind?
• 9:15
  Writing.
• 9:17
  Sometimes words become so beautiful, and just sometimes speaking them,
• 9:23
  that sets a beautiful energy ahead, but writing them down solidifies them.
• 9:29
  It creates a connection between our mind, right onto the pen,
• 9:33
  into the paper. it becomes much more powerful.
• 9:37
  Writing, words, lyrics, poetry, it's fantastic.
• 9:45
  It's energetic. It's so powerful. Think about it. Feel it. Understand it.
• 9:53
  Understand what it is.
• 9:56
  Breathe take this moment now instead of listening to my thoughts my ideas just breathe.
• 10:08
  Find what's coming into your mind and just expand them a little bit,
• 10:14
  understand and try see why they're coming into your mind why they're entering
• 10:19
  your space if they're negative immediately remove them Just acknowledge them. Remove them.
• 10:26
  Take a moment. Breathe.
• 10:28
  Let the next thought come into your mind.
• 10:32
  Whatever that thought is. While you're breathing silently, comforting.
• 10:39
  What thoughts are coming into your mind? What do you find beautiful?
• 10:42
  What's creative to you? What matters to you?
• 10:47
  Let that thought enter your mind. Expand it.
• 10:52
  Validate it.
• 10:55
  If it really resonates, keep it with you, hold it closer to your heart.
• 11:04
  Moments like these are magical.
• 11:09
  Trying to connect with everyone in a cosmic way.
• 11:16
  All of the thoughts where everyone is different and we see things so differently and beautifully.
• 11:24
  This is what we need to focus on and just allow these thoughts to enter.
• 11:31
  What are you thinking about? What is it that's motivating you?
• 11:39
  Breathe and focus on them. Understand your thoughts. They all have a meaning.
• 11:47
  Even symbolicism. Even if you have no thought and you're just seeing an image,
• 11:53
  focus on it. What does it mean?
• 11:59
  Breathe. Focus. Just feel your breathing, and allow your mind to just open up.
• 12:14
  Let's bring ourselves back slowly,
• 12:20
  Start to realize where you are, the moment you're in, you're grounded,
• 12:25
  you're safe, you're comfortable.
• 12:30
  And you're back with yourself. You're back listening to me on this show,
• 12:35
  the Eye Opener Society Guided Meditation.
• 12:40
  That was fun. I have to say, like I said, this was experimental.
• 12:46
  I'm hoping it worked with you. It's just that I wanted to get myself into that
• 12:51
  meditative space And just as I do normally,
• 12:55
  Whenever thoughts enter your mind There's a reason for them There's always a
• 13:00
  meaning to those thoughts And I hope that this,
• 13:04
  Showed you How we acknowledge them And we expand them The good ones,
• 13:11
  Negative thought never entered my mind If it did, and if it did to you Again,
• 13:16
  you acknowledge it this is something I don't want to think about right now.
• 13:20
  I know it's there. I'm going to move on.
• 13:23
  Get to push to the side. You no longer think about it.
• 13:27
  Breathe. Wait for that next thought to come in. Analyze it. Expand on it.
• 13:33
  Make it beautiful. That's the whole key. Making everything beautiful, just like you are.
• 13:40
