So this is a guided meditation on impermanence.

This is an ordinary moment.

If you can, close your eyes and just focus on the sensation of breathing.

Try to become aware of the breath, the in-breath and the out-breath.

Just become aware of this ordinary process that seems so natural that we rarely even think of it.

And yet it's this process of breathing that keeps us alive throughout the ordinary moments of our day.

And now imagine next to you a large platform, you're standing next to this large platform or a stage and it's empty.

There's nothing on it.

And I want you to imagine your favorite possessions.

This could be your computer, your watch, your smartphone.

Maybe it's a TV or your car.

Just imagine all of your favorite stuff.

And now imagine them being placed on this platform or on this stage.

One at a time and when they get placed there, they simply disappear.

Everything that gets placed on the stage dissolves and just disappears.

Just imagine yourself for a moment, seeing all of your stuff one by one being placed on there and then it's gone.

And how does that feel knowing all of your stuff is now gone?

And now I want you to imagine all of your friends, all of your co-workers, people that you know just imagine their voices, they're all talking to each other and they're sharing their stories.

And as they do this, they're all slowly stepping on that stage and single file one by one.

And as they do, they disappear.

One by one until they're all gone.

And after that, I want you to imagine your family, your parents, siblings, children.
