## Resource

In this meditation, I bring together the key elements of The Cloud of Unknowing , completing a three-part exploration of this classic contemplative teaching. Building on the earlier practices of letting go and using a simple word, this meditation invites you to combine both approaches into one steady, grounded practice. We begin by settling into the breath, allowing awareness to stabilise in the present moment. From here, you are gently reminded that thoughts cannot be stopped, but they do not need to be followed. As awareness deepens, a simple word, such as “peace”, is introduced, helping to gather attention and support a quieter, more focused presence. The practice then simplifies further, resting in the breath, allowing both thoughts and the word to fall away naturally, leaving a sense of stillness and openness. This meditation offers a moment of calm, whether you are pausing during the day or winding down before sleep, helping you develop steadiness, clarity and a deeper sense of presence. This meditation supports focus, letting go and present moment awareness.
