Transcript

Welcome to today's meditation.

Begin by finding a comfortable seated position.

One partner sits with legs extended or crossed and the other is lying down and gently rests their head in their lap.

Now,

Close your eyes.

Feel the presence and support of your partner.

Take three slow,

Deep breaths together,

In and out,

In and out,

In and out,

In and out,

In and out.

Notice the points of contact,

The warmth of the lap beneath the head,

The gentle weight or any other touch from each other.

Silently observe those physical sensations without judgment.

Just feel the connection flowing through this shared contact.

The partner lying down can focus on the calming presence and stability of the other.

The partner seated can feel the grounding energy of holding and supporting.

Now,

Place one hand gently on your own heart and one hand near or on your partner's hand or arm.

Imagine sending warmth,

Compassion and care from your heart to theirs,

Silently saying,

I am here with you.

I see you.

I care for you.

Let us now silently reflect on gratitude,

The seated partner for the trust and closeness offered,

The partner lying down for the support and care received.

Let us now take three deep,

Mindful breaths together,

In and out,

In and out,

In and out,

In and out.

You can now gently wiggle fingers and toes.

Slowly open your eyes,

Keeping a sense of warmth,

Tenderness and shared presence as you finish this day.
