◆ Meditation to Prepare Your Heart for Whatever May Happen

~Unwavering in any situation! Quietly existing at the center~

[Preparation]
Sit in a quiet place,
keep your back straight, and close your eyes.
Breathe naturally and slowly. Take a few deep breaths to recall the inner stillness.

[Resolve in Your Heart]
"Right now, I am here."

As you chant this in your heart, bring your awareness back to your chest.

Even if the world shakes,
even if people's hearts are in turmoil,
without being dragged away by external events,
return to your own "center."

Deep within your chest,
touch the fountain of stillness.
It is a place that no one can take away, that cannot be wounded,
and that always remains "there."

[Prepare Your Heart]
While taking deep breaths, chant in your heart:

"My heart is calm at all times."
"I am with the eye that watches over everything."

Next, try to feel a barrier of light around your body.
A faintly shining, unwavering ring of light surrounds you.
It is the light of your will to "prepare your heart."
It is the light that supports and protects you, no matter what happens.

[Words of Prayer]
Chant slowly in your heart:

"Even if the world shakes,
may I be like the unshakeable earth."
"Without fear of any event,
without being swayed by any person."
"May the lamp of my heart never go out,
and may it continue to quietly illuminate the path of my soul."

[At the End of Meditation]
Place your hand on your chest and offer one word of gratitude for this day.
When you open your eyes, feel that your center is quietly prepared.
