Hi,
Welcome to this 5 minute daily reset meditation.
You can come back and listen to it as many times as you need.
Start with sailing yourself into a comfortable position allowing your body to relax and feel supported.
You can close your eyes gently or keep a soft unfocused gaze.
While you're taking a moment to settle in,
Feel how your body connects with the surface beneath you.
Notice the weight of your body,
Let your shoulders drop and gently relax your jaw.
Allow yourself to feel completely supported.
Bring your attention to your breath.
Take a few deep,
Slow breaths to arrive fully in this moment.
Inhale deeply,
Feeling your body gently expand,
And exhale slowly,
Releasing any tension of the past or the worries of the future.
With each inhale and exhale,
Feel your body getting more relaxed and more calm.
Take another deep breath in through your nose and exhale out through your mouth.
Now,
Let your breath return to its natural rhythm.
Simply observe the gentle rise and fall without trying to control it.
There's no need to change how you're breathing,
Just simply observe it.
Feel your chest or belly gently rise and fall with each breath Your breath is your anchor.
As you continue to breathe,
You might notice your mind start to wander.
This is completely normal.
Our minds are busy places.
When you realize your mind has drifted off,
Gently and without any judgment,
Guide your attention back to your breath.
Each time your mind wanders and you bring it back to the present moment,
You're strengthening your meditation muscle.
If thoughts arise perhaps about your day or what you need to do later,
Just acknowledge them.
Imagine they're like clouds passing in the sky.
Watch them go by and then simply return to the sensation of your breath.
We will now spend a few moments in silence,
Allowing you to keep observing your breath and gently exploring your inner self.
For these final few minutes,
Just continue to rest in the awareness of your breath.
If you find yourself distracted again,
Just remember to kindly bring your focus back.
Allow yourself to simply be present with each breath,
Noticing its unique rhythm.
You're simply observing,
Without needing to do anything else.
When you're ready,
Slowly begin to bring your awareness back to your body and the space that you are in.
Gently open your eyes and take a moment to appreciate this moment of stillness.
Every time you meditate,
You're building a habit of presence and awareness.
Take one final gentle breath in and a slow releasing breath out.
Namaste.
