Detaching like a riverbed-bound pebble

Detaching like a riverbed-bound pebble

"Sit in the posture most natural for you - whether full lotus or half lotus position. Keep your spine upright like a straight pine, maintain a gentle smile. Breathe slowly and deeply, becoming one with each conscious inhalation and exhalation.

Release all attachments, envisioning yourself as a pebble dropped into a river. The stone descends effortlessly through crystalline waters, unburdened and untainted, following the shortest path to rest upon the sandy riverbed.

Be that pebble sinking through liquid tranquility. Let your awareness anchor in the breath's rhythm - this is your existential core. Surrender temporal concerns; the journey's duration becomes irrelevant.

When you settle like that river stone reaching its destination, true rest begins. Here, in this stillpoint, you're freed from worldly entanglements.

Resist chasing thought-streams. Discover joy and serenity in the present moment's fullness. This sacred space-time needs no exotic settings - enlightenment blossoms here/now, not beneath some distant bodhi tree."
