Meditation on the Soul (Part 4): Apex Mentis

Episode 142 Published 2 weeks ago
Description

In this meditation, I guide you through the final part of a series exploring the different aspects of the soul, focusing on what is traditionally called the apex mentis, the highest point of awareness within us.

This is described as a place of stillness, clarity and deep peace, untouched by distraction or disturbance.

We begin by settling into the body and the breath, allowing awareness to deepen. From here, the meditation gently draws attention inward, moving through the layers of experience, body, breath and thought, towards a quieter centre.

As the practice unfolds, you are invited to rest in a point of stillness within the breath, a place of balance and presence.

From here, the meditation opens into an awareness of a deeper centre, a place often described as the meeting point of stillness and awareness, where a sense of peace and connection can be experienced.

This is not something to grasp or analyse, but something to rest in, allowing a sense of calm and presence to emerge naturally.

This meditation offers a moment of calm, whether you are pausing during the day or winding down before sleep, helping you experience stillness, clarity and a deeper sense of connection.

This meditation supports reflection, awareness and inner stillness.
