Hello, My friend. And welcome to this meditation. Find a comfortable position. Either seated or lying down. And as you settle in, Notice the tension slowly leaving your body. Notice the sensation of being still. And I invite you my friend. To notice any resistance that you're experiencing to being still and present in this moment It's okay and it is normal to experience some resistance. It's natural for our bodies to want to move and for our minds to wander and struggle to stay present and calm. Our goal for the next few moments here. Is to release that resistance. And take time to sink into this space. Simply be here. To allow our body and mind remember what it feels like to relax and let go Let's take a deep breath in together. And exhale. Another breath in, This time seeing how full you can make your lungs. And once you think you've inhaled as much as you can, I ask you to inhale just a little bit more. And release. Notice how your body feels in this moment. Are there any areas that need to be readjusted or that are asking you to shift or rearrange and if so feel free to do so. Allow yourself to be comfortable here. And as we simply sit here. Can you feel the sensation of your body beginning to relax? Your muscles starting to release maybe you could begin to feel the heaviness of your limbs resting on your legs or the surface beneath you. How good does it feel to let go? To let your body be supported. To know that you are safe in this moment. That there's nowhere else you need to be, Nothing else you need to do. Besides lay here, Besides sit here. And let the surface beneath you support you. Notice your face Are there muscles in your face that you can relax? Around your eyes or your mouth. Maybe your jaw. Let your face go. Let it be loose. And encouraging and allowing our bodies to relax and release. Sends a message to our brain that it is time to be calm and still. Breathe in… and release. Take a few moments here to simply breathe. And enjoy this time complete relaxation. Take a deep breath in. Exhale. Let's check in with ourselves again. How are you feeling now? Before you head into the rest of your day. I invite you to make an intention for yourselves. Something that will allow you to bring the energy that you're currently experiencing into the rest of your day and place your hand on your heart. Lacking in that intention. Slowly begin noticing the sounds in the room around you. Feel the surface beneath you. Begin wiggling your fingers and your toes and when you are ready. Slowly open your eyes. I see you. I love you. Until next time.
