Transcript

Ok so close your eyes and focus on your breath.

As you inhale,

Feel the air filling your lungs,

Expanding your belly.

Hold this breath for a moment,

Feeling its energy.

As you exhale,

Let go of any tension or stress,

Releasing it with the breath.

Notice how your body softens and relaxes.

Continue this cycle,

Focusing on each breath as it comes and goes.

Pay attention to the rise and fall of your chest,

The calming sign of your breath and the sensations in your body.

In the stillness that follows,

Let yourself simply be.

If your mind begins to wander,

Gently bring your attention back to your breath,

Without any judgment.

Acknowledge the thoughts that come and go,

Like lights drifting across the sky,

And return to the present moment.

This is the practice of mindfulness,

Observing your thoughts and gently guiding your focus back to the here and now.

Each time you do this,

You strengthen your ability to stay calm and steady.

And as we close this meditation,

Note that the sense of presence is always within you,

Available whenever you need it.

And when you are ready,

Slowly bring your focus back to the room.

Feel your connection to your surroundings and take this calm with you as you open your eyes and move into your day.
