[00:00:06.920]Cornfield meditation.
[00:00:10.380]Find a comfortable position, seated or laying down,
[00:00:14.950]and close your eyes.
[00:00:19.210]Take a deep breath in.
[00:00:24.300]Let it go.
[00:00:28.490]Take another breath in.
[00:00:33.740]Allowing your breath to deepen.
[00:00:45.219]Today we will visit a place of stillness.
[00:00:48.430]Once there, the meditation guides us
[00:00:51.330]through self-affirmations.
[00:00:56.600]Imagine you're at the edge of a cornfield.
[00:01:00.310]Late winter but almost spring.
[00:01:04.220]It's Sunday,
[00:01:06.980]even the highway that follows this field is quiet.
[00:01:14.010]You can see for a long distance in every direction.
[00:01:24.150]Walk into the field until you find a good spot
[00:01:27.390]to stand and relax.
[00:01:40.860]Notice where the corn stocks bend
[00:01:43.640]and have been broken.
[00:01:49.380]The textures and tones of blue in the ice.
[00:01:57.890]Where the snow lies in the hollows
[00:02:03.120]and the sound of the wind brushing across the fields.
[00:02:12.780]Overhead whiffs of clouds pattern a yellow blue sky.
[00:02:19.400]Inhale the crisp of winter.
[00:02:29.150]Let the stark clarity of this landscape comfort.
[00:02:40.250]As you pause here, maybe say to yourself,
[00:02:46.030]I take time to feel the cold,
[00:02:52.200]it lets me appreciate the warmth
[00:02:53.980]of my gloves, scarf and hat.
[00:03:05.860]I explore the beauty of winter scenery.
[00:03:10.750]A cardinal's pulsing call.
[00:03:15.180]Curls of smoke rising from a chimney.
[00:03:20.980]Hay bails capped with snow.
[00:03:29.270]My body is my companion.
[00:03:34.330]My breath is my constant friend.
[00:03:40.180]This walk is a journey to the present moment.
[00:03:46.270]Rows that mark what was planted,
[00:03:51.060]what could be planted still.
[00:03:59.190]I am strong, healthy and agile.
[00:04:06.350]I am lovable, kind and compassionate.
[00:04:12.920]Where I am right now is exactly where I need to be.
[00:04:20.190]Vast open space of land,
[00:04:23.620]dormant trees,
[00:04:26.240]a red-tailed hawk observing it all.
[00:04:34.430]Take one last look at this cornfield.
[00:04:39.990]What do you want to remember?
[00:04:43.550]An image, a word, a feeling?
[00:04:51.690]What do you wanna carry back into your day?
[00:05:01.480]Now come back to your breath.
[00:05:06.530]Take a breath in.
[00:05:10.530]Slowly let it go.
[00:05:16.430]Notice your body,
[00:05:19.820]the warmth of the room,
[00:05:21.990]and your posture.
[00:05:27.550]Note what you want to savor from today's meditation.
[00:05:34.650]Open your eyes.
[00:05:37.270]Come back to now.
