    Here’s a Sample of the “Mindfulness of the Present Moment Without Any Goals” Guided Meditation Script:

    In this exerciseI will share why it’s important to not fixate on outcomes,But rather to stay present for whatever is happening,Even if it’s not what we want or like.Mindfulness is not about having some special experience,whether it be of greater calmness, or relaxation, deep insight,or even moments of freedom from pain,all those may or may not be part of your experience in any given moment,In all likelihood you will have many moments of profound calm,of greater well-being and insight,and probably much less discomfort and suffering,Assuming that you stick with the practiceWith a sense of ardency and commitment.But in the next moment, as we have seen and will see even more,whatever you are experiencing is likely to change.

    So as paradoxical as it may sound,the practice of mindfulness for pain relief is not about seekingor being attached to a particular outcomeor mental-state,or body state,however much we might desire it.And that goes even for pain relief,the power of mindfulness lies precisely in NOT being attached to any outcome,even as you naturally and understandably desire one,By bringing awareness to how you actually feelIn this moment,In a visceral, physical way,Without memories or hopes getting in the way,You will begin to master the art of how to open to,see clearly, and befriend what is actually unfolding in this moment, as it is,Thereby allowing the natural alleviation of pain and sufferingTo happen as efficiently as it can.
