Good morning,
Beautiful soul.
This is Joanna Szymanski speaking.
And I am honored to lead you through a gentle meditation today.
Let's begin by bringing your awareness to your breath.
Noticing the temperature of the air.
As you inhale.
And as you exhale.
Now,
See if in your mind's eye,
You can bring the image of a heart.
And as you do this,
You may close your eyes.
Or you can soften your gaze.
And the next step of this practice is to find your pulse.
Perhaps on your wrist or on your neck.
And picturing that heart that you have.
Imagined in your mind's eye.
To beat.
Together with your actual pulse.
Taking a few moments here.
I honor this body.
I am thankful for this heart.
For this breath.
For this spirit.
May my mind,
Body,
And heart work together.
With confidence and calmness.
When you're ready,
You're welcome to release your pulse.
Slowly start to wiggle your fingers and toes and opening your eyes,
Coming back to your room.
May this feeling of calm confidence stay with you throughout the day until we meet again.
