Hello and welcome to our meditation. In this meditation we will reflect on the transition into Autumn, Reflecting any transitions in our lives. Find your seat in a comfortable position. Close your eyes gently and take a slow, Calming breath. In through your nose, Filling your lungs. And slowly exhale through your mouth, Releasing any tension. Once more, In through your nose and pulse for one count at the top of your inhale. Then breathe slowly out through your mouth. Continue by breathing in through your nose and now breathe out through your nose as well. Again, Breathe in through your nose, Pause for one count at the top of your inhale, And breathe out through your nose, Making your exhale a little longer. Do this a few rounds, Following your breath, In and out through your nose, And a short pause at the top of your inhale. Then let your breath return to normal. Let your body settle. Feel the connection of your body with the surface beneath you. Notice the rhythm of your breath. As it moves in and out of your body, Like a little dance. As the world changes around you. Imagine the gentle shift of the seasons. The air cools. Leaves soften in color. And nature begins to prepare for rest. In this moment, Allow yourself to become fully present. Bring your attention to the idea of the present moment, The here and now. Notice any thoughts or distractions. And gently bring your focus back to your breath. Inhale calm. Exhale any worries. Reflect quietly on what truly matters to you. What priorities have been quietly calling your attention? Without judgment, Simply observe these thoughts as they arise. Now picture the trees around you as they begin to release their leaves. Sees him gracefully letting go. Trusting in the cycle of life. Allow this imagery to inspire you. What might you release in your own life? What no longer shows your growth. Feel compassion for yourself as you imagine this letting go. Know that by creating space you open the door for new growth, Renewal and fresh possibilities. Even in endings, There is a beginning. Allow yourself a moment to appreciate the small, Often overlooked moments, The quiet breath, The subtle warmth of the sun, The gentle sounds around you. These are the precious threads. That weave the fabric of our daily life. When you are ready, Bring your awareness back to your breath. Deepen each inhale and exhale slowly. Begin to wiggle your fingers and toes. And gently awaken your body. Then open your eyes softly, Carrying this sense of presence, Clarity and peaceful openness with you as you move through your day. Thank you for joining me in this transition into autumn meditation practice. Namaste.
