Take Time Make Time - Guided Meditation

by Bhavani Lev

This guided meditation emphasizes the importance of cultivating inner peace, starting with ourselves through curiosity, gentleness, and presence. It highlights that by pausing, breathing, and allowing ourselves to simply feel peace without agenda, we unlock a profound capacity for awareness and transformation. Consistently taking time for this practice can create space, deepen our experience of life, and influence our relationships and surroundings positively.

Take Time Make Time

Peace.

We long for peace.

We long for inner peace.

We long for peace and love
to flow in our hearts
and flourish in our relationships.

We long for peace, understanding,
and respect with our neighbors,
close by and far away.

We long for peace on earth.

And every little step we take in that direction
is so good.

We can start with ourselves.

We have more agency over what happens
within us than we’ve been told.

As we open ourselves to feeling peace,
with curiosity, gentleness,
and kindness to ourselves,
marvelous things start to happen.

We open pathways within us that we didn’t know were there.

We experience new sensations and we discover
that our capacity to feel
is a superpower, a true gift.

There’s so much to discover when we take a little time
to just stop.

To stop and breathe, to be quiet, to relax,
feel our physical body, listen into the present moment,
and open ourselves to feeling peace.

Simply feeling peace.

With no agenda, letting go
of needing to achieve anything,
accomplish anything,
prove anything.

Just allowing ourselves to pause,
to breathe,
to relax,
to receive,
and to feel.

We enter a gateway, a portal within us,
unique to each of us, so powerful, so beautiful,
so deep and profound.

When we take time, we make time.

Our minds might tell us
we don’t have enough time to do this,
that we have so much to do, etc., etc.

But what if it actually worked differently?

What if by taking the time
to stop, relax, and feel peace,
this created more space and more time in your life.

What if by doing this every day, consistently,
you could change your life from the inside out
in ways you really longed for?

Take a little time, just for yourself,
to stop and feel peace every day.

And during the day, remind yourself,
you can feel peace right now,
anytime, anywhere, no matter what is going on,
no matter how crazy things get, or how upset you might feel.

Take time, make time, to give yourself
the gift of feeling peace.

What a wonder to discover what happens
when you give yourself time and space to stop!

Quiet down.
Breathe.
Relax.
Open and receive.

Feel your body.
And feel peace.
