We can sometimes find ourselves in the thick of a stressful and chaotic day despite best efforts to remain peaceful and calm.
Oftentimes a morning intention to have a positive mindset in the day ahead.
Can become unraveled by lunchtime.
This short guided meditation is intended to offer a moment to pause,
Breathe,
And pivot.
Course correcting your day so you can get back on track,
Recharged,
And refreshed.
Let's start with an invitation to close your eyes.
Take a deep breath in through your nose and imagine the energy of the breath is gliding up from the soles of your feet to the top of your head.
As you exhale,
Breathe out slowly through your mouth and imagine the energy of your breath flowing down from the crown of your head.
Down your body to the soles of your feet.
Continue this for a few slow,
Deep breaths.
With each inhale,
Sense the energy of the Earth beneath you.
Imagine that energy of the earth is rising up to meet you,
Nourishing your body,
Mind and spirit.
On your next exhale,
Release your jaw,
Soften your shoulders,
Melt into the seat or floor beneath you.
And continue to breathe.
Bringing your palms together,
Begin to rub your hands,
Generating some warmth.
Now place your hands intuitively on your body in an area that might feel tense or tight.
Perhaps cupping the eyes,
Which may be strained if you've been staring at a computer screen.
Perhaps your hands can find your jaws,
Shoulders,
Or neck.
Lingering wherever you'd like offering your body a gentle massage.
To help any stagnant or tense energy flow.
Bring your awareness back to your breath.
And place one hand on your belly and the other onto your chest.
Perhaps you can even feel your belly rise and fall with each breath.
Or maybe you can feel your own heartbeat.
Simply feel your breath.
Feel your body breathing.
In this moment,
You are safe.
In this moment,
Your breath is an anchor to the present moment.
Savor the stillness.
And remember that.
As you re-enter your day.
You are only one breath away from presence and clarity.
Take another deep inhale in.
And a soft exhale out.
Bring a smile to your lips and gently blink open your eyes.
And please know that I am sending you well wishes of peace and positivity.
Thank you for meditating with me.
Namaste.
