Hello and welcome to this short guided practice.
Where we will pause,
Recenter,
And ground ourselves in the present moment.
First,
Take a moment to get comfortable.
Seated or lying down.
Thank yourself for giving yourself this time.
And let's settle into the breath.
Nice,
Full inhale.
And a gentle full exhale.
And allowing your breath to be steady.
Turn your attention inwards.
Take a moment to scan through your body.
And just notice how you're feeling without judgment.
Notice any tightness,
Tension.
Gripping and notice how it feels to be present in your physical body.
Is it comfortable?
Is it new?
The more we practice,
The easier it is to return.
Imagine calling back any energy.
That you've maybe left elsewhere.
Breathing into your core,
To your center.
In this moment.
With your next inhale,
Allowing your belly and ribs to expand.
And settling deeper with the exhale.
Turning your attention to wherever you meet the earth.
Your feet,
Your seat,
Or your back.
Allowing yourself to be held in this present moment.
Breathing in to any tension or tightness.
And allowing that to melt with your exhale into the earth below.
Grounding in the present.
You can allow for the melting of any negative thoughts that don't serve you.
Any emotions you would like to let go of.
And again,
Just notice how it feels to rest in your own body.
In this moment.
Nice deep inhale to your heart center.
Thanking yourself for taking this time.
And a full exhale Setting the attention.
To stay present and grounded in this moment.
