冥想引导者:本冥想练习旨在帮助你培养内心的平静和应对渴望的韧性。渴望可能以各种形式出现,例如对食物、购物、物质或特定行为的渴望。重要的是要记住,渴望并非本质上是坏的,它们是自然冲动,但当它们开始主导我们的思想和行为时,就会变得有问题。我们不是我们的渴望,我们有能力选择如何回应它们。 练习中,首先要找到一个舒适的姿势,闭上眼睛,深呼吸几次,让身心放松。然后,将注意力转向你的呼吸,觉察任何可能出现的思想,但不要评判或试图驱逐它们,只是像观察者一样观察它们。 接下来,将注意力转向渴望的感觉,注意它在你身体和思想中的感觉,以及它带来的情绪。记住,这只是种感觉,并非好坏,而且是暂时的。当渴望变得难以承受时,将注意力回到呼吸上,想象你的呼吸像轻柔的微风吹走渴望。 你可以将渴望想象成海浪,它会上升、达到顶峰,然后崩溃消失。你就是广阔的海洋,渴望只是其中一个波浪,它来来去去,但并不能定义你,也无法控制你,除非你允许。继续深呼吸,平静地观察渴望的波浪起起伏伏,你会发现随着你继续无评判地观察,这些波浪会变得越来越小,越来越少。 记住,你的想法不是你,你的渴望也不是你。它们只是像海浪一样来来去去的感受。这种正念技巧可以随时随地用来管理你的渴望。通过无评判地观察你的渴望,你可以学会驾驭这些波浪,而不是被它们卷走。 在日常生活中,每当你注意到渴望出现时,花一点时间停下来观察它,记住你有能力选择如何回应。通过持续的练习,正念可以成为你通往更大平静和韧性的旅程中一个强大的工具。

Shownotes Transcript

Cravings can feel intense... like waves that rise and crash, demanding our attention. Whether it’s food, substances, technology, or habits, these urges can easily pull us out of alignment with our values. But mindfulness offers a powerful path toward greater awareness, resilience, and choice.

In this episode of the Mindfulness Exercises Podcast, we offer a guided meditation to help you observe cravings without judgment and respond with clarity and compassion. Rather than pushing cravings away or giving in, this practice supports you in riding the wave of the urge—grounded in presence and empowered by choice.

In This Guided Meditation, You Will Be Invited To:

✔ Recognize the physical and emotional sensations of cravings

✔ Cultivate a non-judgmental awareness of urges as they arise

✔ Visualize cravings as passing waves in the vast ocean of your awareness

✔ Anchor your attention in the breath and body to create space between urge and action

✔ Reaffirm that you are not your cravings—you are the awareness observing them

Whether you’re a mindfulness teacher, therapist, or practitioner seeking support in your personal journey, this meditation offers a practical and compassionate way to manage cravings with mindfulness.

🌿 Return to this meditation anytime you feel pulled by craving—and remember the peace and strength that already lives within you.
