You taking time to be thankful for this moment now of self-care and love. Begin with noticing how you feel here in this moment. Becoming aware of your breath moving in and out of your body. Gently flowing through your lungs and into your bloodstream, Giving you life and life force. Allow your awareness to extend to the environment you're in right now. And for this experience. Notice what's around you with your sense of sight. Objects in front of you or beside you. Be they close by or far away. Noticing the textures, Patterns, Shapes and colors of objects you see. Light and dark spaces. And even spaces in between objects. When you feel comfortable, Allow your eyes to gently close and tune into your sense of hearing. You may hear your breath moving in and out of your body. You may hear sounds that are near or far away. Louder sounds or even very quiet sounds can be discovered in this moment. Draw your attention to your sense of smell. And if you can detect anything within the room you're in. Or even on your own person. Can you get a sense of the smell in the air at all? It may be very subtle. Just allow your nose, Your airways to be filled with whatever comes. Is there a sense of taste that you notice in your mouth? It may be something you ate today. Or they may be nothing at all. You might sense the moisture in your mouth or if there's thirst. Just allow that to be there for now. Become aware of your body either sitting or laying down. Feeling supported. Your back, Your bottom, Cradling you and holding you. Your legs extending out in front of you or down to the floor. Notice what's beneath your feet. Sense the feeling of your hands in your lap and on your thighs. Just allow yourself this quiet time to feel what you can and let it be there. Notice any niggles or feelings that may be uncomfortable and just allow them to be present. It's safe to feel them right now or at any time. If your mind wanders, Just return to your breath. Perfectly normal for thoughts to arise and unexpected feelings. They may feel strange, But stay with the feeling for a moment. There may be good feelings and not so good feelings. And this is a safe space for you to feel them all. Gently welcome them to this experience today and know that nothing is right or wrong to feel. Whatever you notice, See if you can feel where that sits in your body. It may be very subtle at first. It may become an emotion and stronger in time. But just allow it to be there. It may be a feeling that has been suppressed for some time. And it required some silence to notice. Whatever arises within you today, Just allow it. Be open to all possibilities. This may be a time of growth you have needed. A time to learn something new. Your body's sensations can be lessons waiting in the shadows for you. Take notice of your breathing. And allow your feelings to unfold. When you're ready. Gently return to the sensation of your breath moving in and out of your body. Allow yourself to be witness to whatever comes for you. Bringing your awareness back into your body and the support underneath you. Feeling each part of your body in contact with that support. Become aware of the taste in your mouth again. Any scent moving through your nose. The sounds around you. And when you're ready, Just very slowly blink some light back into your eyes. And come back into the space that you're in. Take this moment to thank yourself for your mindfulness today.
