Hello and welcome to this calm beach meditation.
Take these first few moments to settle yourself in to a comfortable position in a space where you will not be disturbed for the remainder of the practice.
We'll begin by grounding the body and allow the surfaces of your skin to begin to connect with the earth as you release any physical tension.
Notice a subtle merging of the body,
Of self,
Of ground.
A slight melting into the support that you have chosen for your body for this practice.

As we relax any physical effort,
We gently draw our awareness inwards to the sound of the breath.
Et's allow you to Drake Begin to notice the subtle attributes of the breath,
Its width,
Its depth,
Its length,
Its depth,
Its breadth,
Its depth,
Its depth.
.
Release any physical or mental effort here.
Simply just be with the breath.
Release any physical or mental effort here.
The mind may wander at first and that's okay.
Let it be.
And slowly with awareness come back to the breath.
Let it be.
Let it be.
Let it be.
Let it be.
Let it be.
Let it be.
And now I'd like you to place yourself on the shores of a beach.
Allowing any imagery,
Any feelings,
Any sensations to arise.
Let it be.
It may be a place you've visited before.
It may be completely imaginary.
Whatever comes to mind.
Notice the qualities of this beach.
Its trees or rocks,
Its shape or size.
Are there other people around or is it your own private beach?
What is the temperature on your beach?

Draw your awareness to the particles of sand or the surface of the rocks and the connection of land and sea.
What is the temperature on your beach?
What is the temperature on your beach?
The particles of sand,
The rocks,
Unmoved,
Unfazed by the current of the sea and the waves that brush the surface.
What is the temperature on your beach?
What is the temperature on your beach?
You are this connection of land,
Sea,
Sky and space.
What is the temperature on your beach?
Be unmoved by your surroundings,
Resting your awareness in this space.
What is the temperature on your beach?
What is the temperature on your beach?
What is the temperature on your beach?
What is the temperature on your beach?
Roll with the tide,
With the waves.
Move with the wind.
Breathe from any restraint.
What is the temperature on your beach?
What is the temperature on your beach?
Feel the five elements intertwined with your being.

As you rest here and breathe.

Unmoving for the next 30 seconds or so.
