Transcript

Accepting and letting go of meditation.

So just starting by getting a sense of your body as a whole sitting here.

Feeling the weight of your body going down into the ground,

Being held by the surface that you're sitting on.

And also feeling your body rising up,

Tall and dignified,

With a sense of uplift.

And then just taking a deep breath in,

Breathing in,

Breathing out again and letting go.

Just allowing your body to settle more into the surface you're sitting on.

Allowing yourself to be held and supported by the ground.

And knowing that there's nothing that you need to do right now,

And there's nowhere that you need to be.

Just sitting with an awareness of your body as a whole.

And letting go.

Accepting and letting go.

Accepting and letting go.

And now just allowing your body to move into the background of your awareness.

And shifting your attention to your breath,

Your breathing.

And you might notice it at your nostrils,

Feeling the cool air coming in and the warm air going out.

Or you might notice it down at your belly,

Feeling your belly rising and falling as you breathe in and out.

So trusting in your breath to bring you into the present moment,

Just as it is.

And that's all you need to do right now,

Just riding on the sensations of the breath.

And now just letting go.

And now just letting go.

And now just letting go.

And maybe paying attention to the nuances of your breath.

To short pause between your in-breath and your out-breath,

And your out-breath and your in-breath.

Maybe you notice your breathing building as you breathe in.

And then fading as your in-breath comes to an end.

And then the short pause,

Then breathing out.

And then feeling your breath building and then falling again before the next in-breath.

You might also feel your body rising and falling as you breathe in and out.

And that's all you need to do right now.

And now just letting go.

And if your mind does wander off during this time,

When you do notice,

Just gently return your attention.

Just gently return your attention to your breath.

And now,

Just letting go.

And then the short pause,

Then breathing out.

And now just letting go again.

And then just letting go.

And then long pause.

And then just letting go.
