Welcome, And thank you for joining me. This meditation is titled, 10-minute evening meditation. Let the day go. As the day starts to come to a close, The mind often likes to continue moving. In this practice, We're going to begin to gently slow the mind down. Allowing the thoughts of the day to settle into stillness. So the body can gradually begin to rest. Let's begin. Find a comfortable position for this meditation. You can choose to sit quietly for a few moments. Or perhaps lie down and allow the body to fully rest. Whatever position you choose. Go ahead and settle into that now and allow yourself to begin arriving fully in this moment. When you're ready, Gently close your eyes. Let's begin by taking a few slow breaths together. We'll breathe in slowly. Hold gently at the top. And then slowly release. Go ahead and take a slow breath in. Now gently hold. And now slowly release. Breathing in slowly. Holding. And now breathing out. One more slow breath in together. Holding. And now a long, Slow exhale. Go ahead and let the breath return now to its natural rhythm. Nothing to control. Nothing to force. Just the feeling of the breath moving naturally through the body. With no effort required at all. Begin to notice how your body feels tonight. Perhaps you feel tired. Maybe there's some heaviness. Whatever's here tonight. Allow it to simply be here. Even if the mind still feels busy or the body carries tension. You don't need to force yourself into feeling calm. Just let this moment be. With your next inhale. Begin to notice the feeling of the evening arriving. The light outside is beginning to fade. The room is growing a little quieter now. Perhaps the air feels a little cooler. Let's spend a few moments here simply resting in that feeling. As the evening begins to settle around you. Imagine the weight of the day beginning to soften. There's nothing more to accomplish in this moment. And nothing more to prove. Just resting here. One breath at a time. Let yourself soften just a little bit more with each exhale. If your mind continues to be active with thoughts during this practice. That's okay. When you notice the mind wandering. Gently guide your attention back to the feeling of your breath. Allowing the thoughts to drift by. Like clouds moving across the evening sky. No frustration. No judgment. Just noticing. And then gently returning to the breath. As you continue resting here. Allow yourself to settle just a little bit deeper into stillness. There's nothing more needed from you right now. Nothing to chase. Nothing to resist. Just resting here. Keep breathing. For the next few moments. Let's simply rest here in silence. Breathing. And letting go. As we begin to close this practice. Bring your awareness back to the body. Notice the feeling of the air on your skin. The surface beneath you. Your hands. Your legs. Your shoulders. Let's take one more slow breath in. Then slowly let it go. When you're ready, Gently open your eyes. Before moving into the rest of your evening. Take a quiet moment to notice how you feel right now. Perhaps a little softer. A little quieter. And a little more at ease. Remember, This space is always here for you. Thank you for practicing with me. You're always welcome here. Namaste.
