Hello,

My name is Alison and I'm here to guide you through this mindfulness meditation.

So just make yourself comfortable,

Sitting or lying down wherever you feel comfortable.

And just start to deepen your breathing.

Feel how this feels.

Just notice the breath going in and going out.

If you feel comfortable,

Gently close your eyes.

This just takes away one of the senses and allows you to focus your attention to be more mindful of your breath.

It's okay if your mind wanders,

Just keep bringing it back to your breath.

Notice which parts of your body move in this breathing action.

Be aware of those parts that are moving as you breathe in and breathe out.

Just allow your body to breathe automatically and just feel how that feels.

Does your breathing stay deep or does it become a bit shallower?

Whatever it does it's okay.

Focus on the air as it comes into your body and then it exits.

In and out.

How are you feeling in this moment?

Just gently scan your body.

Do you feel warm or cold or just comfortable?

Are you holding any tension?

Or any pain anywhere in your body?

Are your thoughts able to focus on your breathing and your body?

Or are they wandering off?

Just notice without judgment.

Just be aware.

Notice any emotions that you might be feeling and just notice where you feel them.

And how are they affecting you?

Just allow the feeling and name it if you can.

Just observing.

Being aware and just noticing.

Acknowledge and give it your love and kindness.

Sense it accepting this love and kindness.

Sense it accepting this love and kindness.

Relax and notice your breath again.

Scan for any areas in your body that's holding tension.

Notice it and breathe.

Let that tension go with your next exhale.

Release it.

If it feels comfortable,

Take another breath in.

And while you're breathing in,

Think of relaxing.

You're taking in a relaxing breath.

And as you release that breath,

Release tension.

Tension.

So breathe in relaxation.

Breathe out tension.

And again,

Breathe in relaxation.

And breathe out tension.

And just keep this going for a couple more minutes.

Whilst you notice with your senses the air around you.

The sounds,

The smells.

Just notice how much more relaxed you feel with your awareness.

And when you're ready,

You can add your sight into the mix by opening up your eyes.

Just take a couple more deep breaths.

As you allow your attention to flow outwards again.
