Welcome to your Monday morning mindset shift meditation.
As you're ready,
Find your way into a comfortable seated position.
Use a blanket,
Bolster or block to elevate your hips higher than your knees.
Slide forward to bring your buttocks back behind you.
With your knees bent,
Bring one ankle in front of the other.
Place your hands onto your thighs,
Palms face down.
For a moment,
Press your hands onto your knees and lengthen through the sides of your body.
And then relax your elbows back by your ribcage.
Tuck your chin slightly toward your chest.
As you lift your heart up towards the sky,
Move your shoulder blades towards your spine to support your heart.
Lean forward back,
Side to side.
As you connect to your own sense of center,
Soften your face muscles.
Draw the awareness to your breath.
For your mindset shift,
Think to yourself.
Peace is a choice.
Finding peace in a situation,
Finding peace inside of yourself is a choice that you make.
As you settle into your breathing,
Draw your awareness inside.
Look for the moments in between your thoughts and allow a sense of inner peace to surface between the busyness of your mind and the busyness of your day to day actions.
Settle into stillness,
Melt into the spaces between the thoughts where the mind is calm,
Even if it's just a glimpse.
Cultivating peace.
Obtaining peace in each and every moment is a choice that you can make.
In this moment,
Even if your mind is busy,
Choose to look for those glimpses in between the thoughts to choose now to practice here.
Witnessing those moments of peace.
Settle into the stillness of your mind.
The mind will wander.
Maybe busyness within your thoughts.
Practice here to make peace,
Your choice.
Look,
Melt,
Dive into the spaces and places where the mind is calm.
The mind will wander.
The mind will wander.
The mind will wander.
Practice coming back to the space between your thoughts to make peace your choice,
Rather than following the busyness of your thoughts,
Your mind.
Use your breath and the space between your thoughts as an anchor point to bring you back to peace.
Continue to meditate to sit here for as long as you have.
And when you get up from your meditation,
Get up with the Monday mindset shift that peace is a choice.
Let peace be your choice.
Have a beautiful rest of your day.
And I will see you soon.
