Sing Me Awake (Guided Meditation) Songtext
von East Forest

Let′s drop into this meditation together
First, just listen to the music
And find a way for your body to simply be comfortable
Whatever that means to you
Find a way to be in your body to be, so that you are engaged, but relaxed
Good

Take a few breaths, in and out
Into your nose, out through your mouth
At your pace, into your nose, out through your mouth

Into the nose, out through the mouth
I'm gonna sing you awake, all you have to do is breathe

Take your right hand and put it on your chest
Take your left hand and put it on your stomach
Continue breathing into your hands, into your stomach
Put a gentle smile on your face
Close your eyes if you haven′t already


Imagine your breath going into your hands
Into your heart, into your stomach
There's a channel of energy between the two
Like an oval going back and forth as you breathe in
And out
In and out
There's no wrong way, you′re doing it perfectly

Feel the warmth that′s building
Doesn't matter what thoughts are going on your head
This isn′t about feeling
You're doing it perfectly
And keep your hands there, release them whenever you like
Just keep breathing

If you have any thoughts that you feel or distracting
Actually, welcome them in
Say, "You′re welcome here", and then go back to your breathing
Yeah

Your thoughts are you, too
Your breath is you, too
Your heartbeat is you, too
Your feelings are you
Good

When it arises, just feel the joyful expansion of your breath
And the calmness that is part of it
Gentle smile on your face


You're welcome too
All of you is welcome
All of you is welcome here
It′s perfect
Feel what it feels like
Just to try on the clothing of the thought
That everything about you is perfect
What does that feel like? Breathe it in
All the mistakes, all the received faults
It's perfect, it's okay

What if the water you′re swimming in, and you are the fish
And the water is just love
And you didn′t even know, that's the thing, you can′t even escape is love
It's merely a perception
As we look out to decide what we want the world to be around us
But it′s you, too

That connection to the world
To bring it inside yourself
Is no further away than your next breath
Breathe in

If they're not, open your hands
Your palms are just open
Breathe the energy into your heart
And breathe it out, visualising it coming out of your hands and out to the world
That′s your gift

You transmute the space around you with love
You witness the world, you witness your thoughts
You witness it all from that space of love

Sink that feeling in, commit it to your memory
It's real
One more thing for you to try
What does it feel like if you were to try on the thought right now?
The feeling that you can let everything go
All the concerns, any thought
Just for a moment, let it go, let it go
Free
Just love

Try it again
Let it go on your exhale
Breathe in, breathe out

Just stay here for a little bit, little bit longer
Just enjoy it, just enjoy it
We'll get back
Breathing into your heart, and out

If they′re not there, let′s put your hands back on your heart
The other hand on your stomach
And breathe into them again, feel that cycle of energy
And you can use this gesture
And breathe into it, and your body will remember
This feeling that you've planted inside
By touching your heart and your stomach like this with your hands and breathing in
Your body will remember
Good

And when it feels right to you, you can
Bow to yourself and thank yourself for diving in
And move your body around and open your eyes when it feels good
Now we′ll conclude our meditation
