A Place to Rest: A Guided Meditation as Pure Being

What if, for the next 30 minutes, nothing was being asked of you?
You don't have to quiet your mind or have to become peaceful.
You can simply be here.

In this spacious guided meditation for deep rest, inner peace, and Pure Being, Jody Agard invites you to step out of the constant effort of doing and recognize the quiet resting place that is already here.

The mind is allowed to be busy.
Thoughts can twist and turn.
Feelings and sensations can arise.

The human character can have its experience.
None of it prevents you from being what you already are.

Through gentle non-dual self-inquiry and extended periods of silence, you'll be invited to notice something extraordinarily simple:
Breathing is happening.
The heart is beating.
Sounds are appearing.
Sensations are moving.
Seeing and hearing happen naturally.
Life is simply living itself.
And before you do anything, change anything, or understand anything...
You are here.

This isn't about finding a peaceful state and trying to hold onto it.
States and thoughts come and go.
Feelings move and the body changes.
Life continues.

But the simple Being that you are does not require effort.
It doesn't need the mind to cooperate.
It is already here. Already at rest.
And this quiet resting place doesn't disappear when the meditation ends.
It is here as your eyes open.
As the body moves.
As sounds are heard.
As you return to work, relationships, responsibilities, and the ordinary movements of your day.
Life continues to live itself.
And you remain as you are.

👉🏼 An invitation from the Center for Awakening & Pure Presence Conferences:
Life is always changing — our relationships, our roles, our circumstances, even the way we see ourselves. But is there something within us that doesn’t change?
This November, 28 global wisdom teachers come together for a unique three-day gathering centered on one timeless question: ‘WHO AM I?’
Discover what remains steady beneath life’s changing circumstances, and how that recognition can transform the way you meet yourself, others, and the world. November 13th through 15th, live online and *free* to attend.
