Welcome!
Take this moment for yourself.
A moment to arrive.
Just as you are.
As we begin now.
You might think of this practice As a gentle exploration Something good.
You come back to whenever you need it an opportunity.
To return to yourself.
To soften.
Around distractions And to rest your attention on the breath The mind will wander.
That's simply its nature.
And stiller.
You can choose to offer most of your attention to your breathing Letting everything else Feed quietly into the background Like a distant whisper Now.
They gave you more Mensa.
To settle into a comfortable position that feels steady.
Relaxed and awake.
Let your body Find its own balance Adjusting itself naturally and effortlessly.
If you'd like.
You can set a simple intention A soft inner direction Perhaps a.
.
.
I'm staying with my breath Let this intention settle gently.
When you feel ready.
Allow your attention.
To rest on the breath The natural movement of air entering and leaving the body.
Nothing to change.
And nothing to control her.
Thoughts may continue to appear.
And that's perfectly ok.
Let them drift into the background like clouds.
Moving across a and white sky And return to the sensation of breathing in this moment Feel the flow of the air.
The coolness.
Of the inhaler.
And the softness of the exhale.
The Riser and fall off the belly.
The gentle expansion of the chest Let this sensation guide you.
Moment after moment.
For the next minutes.
And if your mind wanders,
As it naturally will,
Simply notice it.
In mindfulness,
What matters is the return,
Not preventing the wandering,
But coming back.
Each returner Deepens your presence.
Your steadiness and your clarity And now,
Invite a sense of kindness into this experience.
If there is restlessness,
If you find yourself drifting,
Meet it with gentleness.
You are doing exactly what this practice invites.
Noticing and returning Again and again.
And before we close,
Take a moment to acknowledge what you've offered yourself.
A few minutes of presence.
A few minutes of care.
Recognize the value of this simple act,
Nurturing your inner stability,
Your attention and your well-being and when you feel ready.
Allow your breath to deepen Feel your body.
In the space around you And gently let your awareness Return to your environment You have just practiced a moment of mindfulness.
With simplicity and kindness.
Thank you for sharing this time with me Take good care of yourself and see you soon!
