Transcript

Before we get started,

Find yourself a quiet comfortable spot where you won't be disturbed.

Make sure that you're in a comfortable upright seated position using any props you need so you can stay seated pain free throughout this practice.

Whenever you've found a comfortable position,

Close your eyes,

Completely relax your body and turn to stillness.

Let's begin.

Find a comfortable seated posture and allow the whole body to ground down,

Grow heavy and relax.

Become aware of what the body is feeling in this moment,

Noticing the breath flowing in and flowing out,

Not having to interfere with it,

Simply feeling it.

Draw in a deep breath and letting it out slowly and gently.

And another deep breath,

In and out,

Slowly and gently,

Letting the breath find its own rhythm now.

Continue listening to the inflow and outflow of your breathing.

If thoughts or feelings arise,

Then just notice them,

Following the journey of the breath from the tip of the nose deep down into the belly.

Notice any sensations,

How does your body feel right now and how can you release more tension arriving into a space of stillness from which you can observe your thoughts and emotions.

Reflect on how you're feeling right now,

Allowing any feelings or emotions to surface and pass through.

If you want,

You can gently place a hand on your heart,

Supporting yourself,

Breathing it into your heart space and giving yourself a moment to realign back to yourself.

Listen to the heart,

What do you need right now,

And from there,

Be ready to face the day ahead with new energy and connection to take inspired action with your higher self.

Let's end this meditation,

Bringing a smile into the corners of your mouth,

And on the exhale,

Sigh it out,

Open your eyes into the space that you're sitting in.

Have a beautiful day ahead.
