Hey, How are you doing? How's your day going? Whether it's a good day or a challenging day, It's always a good idea to really slow down. So let's just settle in. And close your eyes if you like. Take a couple of deep breaths in your own time. It's good to let the body relax as you exhale. And then begin to bring your attention within feeling the breath as it flows all the way in and feeling the breath as it flows all the way out. And you can also use this background sound of the rain. To keep you present. To help you tune into this moment. As you listen to the rain. As you listen to my voice. Let the body become still. Becoming heavy. And relax. It's a wonderful feeling to just be still. To breathe. To notice. And just to let everything else go. As you're resting here, Maybe thoughts of the day keep coming into your mind. Or your mind is. Pulling you away to. . . Things you've got to do later. Each time you notice your mind has wandered. Bring it back to the breath. Kindly. Gently. To tune in to the simplicity of now. And if it feels good to you now, You can pass your attention down through your body quickly or slowly. From your head. Your neck and shoulders down through your body. All the way down. Through your legs. To your feet. Just noticing whatever you find. Letting whatever you find. Just be there. Now just rest quietly. A little while longer. I'm sending you peace. I'm sending you love. And I'm sending you happiness. For the rest of your day.
