Welcome.

Begin by settling in to a comfortable seated position.

Feel your body supported by your chair or bed.

Feel your feet resting on the ground.

Start by taking a deep breath in and out.

Sometimes our minds can be noisy.

As you begin to focus on your breath,

Practice kindness with yourself as your mind wanders.

Patiently bring your awareness back to your breath.

As you breathe deeply,

Feel your belly expand to welcome the breath in.

Feel it relax as the breath flows back out.
