Hello my beautiful soul.

Welcome to my meditation.

My name is Anumiha Obalkar and today we're going to help soothe your mind and your body.

The first thing we're going to do is get to a space where you can close your eyes for a few minutes.

You can either lie down or sit on a chair or stand in front of a mirror whatever is comfortable for you.

Once you've closed your eyes we're going to take a few deep breaths.

Let's take a deep breath on the count of three.

Breathe in.

One,

Two and three.

Hold and breathe out.

One,

Two and three.

Another one.

Breathe in.

One and three.

Hold and breathe out.

One,

Two and three.

One last time.

Let's do it together this time.

Breathe in.

Now that you are a little bit more in the present I'd like you to repeat this either out loud or in your mind.

I'm not my past neither am I my future.

The pain that I felt in the past or the things that I'm afraid to experience in the future is not where I am at right now.

I am here in the present moment.

It is safe to be here in the present moment.

While you tell yourself that you are in the present moment I want you to put all your attention on your beating heart.

Feel it.

Put your hand on your heart and feel it beat.

I am safe.

I am in this moment.

Neither does my past nor my prediction of the future dictate how I feel right now.

Focus on what you can hear around you.

Can you hear the swooshing air or can you hear birds sing?

Are there people around you talking to each other or is there any kind of music playing?

Focus on your auditory sensations so that they can help you feel more grounded into the present moment.

Feel your energy being lifted from stress and anxiety to be more calm and grounded.

While you're grounding into the present moment I'd like you to repeat this.

It is safe for me to be in the present.

Close your eyes,

Repeat the statement,

Focus either on your breath or on your heartbeat for a few moments.

Repeat this for a few minutes and I'll be back.

It is safe to be in this moment.

I hope that you're feeling better than you were feeling before.

Thank you so much for meditating with me.

I hope you have a great day ahead sending you so much love and light.

Namaste.
