Hello beautiful soul.
Thank you so much for joining me today.
Let's take just five minutes together to practice present moment awareness through the use of our breath and observation of sensation.
Take a moment to find a comfortable place you can sit or lay down.
Preferably be warm and safe and in a place that you won't be distracted just for the next five minutes.
Once you have found your place,
If it feels comfortable to do so,
Close your eyes and just allow your body to settle into this moment.
Allow your senses to notice the supports beneath your body that are holding you right now.
If you are seated,
Notice the chair supporting and holding you.
Notice the floor beneath your feet and if you're laying down,
Notice the surface and where it connects with your body from the top of your head down to your feet.
Just checking in with the sensation of being held and supported here.
Bringing your attention now to your breath.
No need to breathe in any particular way just yet.
Just bring your curious observation to the way that you breathe.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Notice that the inhale is cool and the exhale is warm.
Notice the path that your breath takes as it enters and leaves your body.
Expanding your lungs,
Moving your ribs apart and taking in all that it needs.
And exhaling,
Letting go,
Releasing that that doesn't serve you.
Inhale again and this time pay more attention to the inhale.
What happens in other areas of your body when you pay attention to the inhale?
What does your inhale sound like?
How does this feel in your body and where?
And now pay attention to your exhale.
Explore slowing your exhale down.
How does the exhale feel in your body and where?
Notice the quality of your thoughts,
The stillness of your mind and your body.
Notice that the nervous system immediately can settle and that just by noticing your breath,
Your breath can be an anchor for when you feel anxiety or overwhelm.
Notice your breath and how it feels,
How it sounds,
How it moves your body.
Take a few more breaths observing all there is to observe.
Place a hand on your heart and send gratitude for these few moments together.
Stay here as long as you need.
I send you with love into your day.
