The Art of Contemplation

This meditation, inspired by the teachings of Richard Rudd, explores the art of contemplation through intentional pauses. By practicing stillness for three minutes every three hours, you unlock clarity, empathy, and expanded awareness. Guided by the phrases “Soften the heart, open the mind” and “Soften the mind, open the heart,” this practice uses breathwork and golden light visualization to deepen the connection between heart and mind. Contemplation comes from the Latin word contemplari, meaning “to observe in a sacred space.” It signifies deep, thoughtful observation or reflection. Remember the magic of life is in the pauses. The art of contemplation are moments of stillness, one of the most beautiful gifts you can give yourself.
