Transcript

Welcome to this mindful meditation.

Find a comfortable seated position either on a cushion or a chair with your back straight and your feet flat on the ground.

Close your eyes and take a deep breath in and slowly exhale.

Take another deep breath in and slowly exhale.

Bring your attention to your breath.

Notice the sensation of the breath as it enters and leaves your body.

You may notice the rise and the fall of your chest or the sensation of the air moving in and out of your nostrils.

Just observe the breath without trying to change it in any way.

As you focus on your breath you may notice thoughts or feelings arising in your mind.

This is normal and natural.

When you notice your mind has wandered,

Gently bring your attention back to your breath.

Don't need to judge or analyze your thoughts.

Just observe them.

Let them pass.

Pay attention to your body.

Notice any sensations or feelings that arise.

You may feel tension or relaxation in different parts of your body.

Just observe these sensations without trying to change them.

As you continue to focus on your breath and your body,

You may notice a sense of calm and relaxation washing over you.

Allow yourself to fully experience this feeling of peace and tranquility.

Rest in this stillness for the next few minutes.

When you are ready,

Take a deep breath in and slowly exhale.

Wiggle your fingers and toes and gently open your eyes.

Take a moment to notice how you feel and carry this sense of calm and relaxation with you as you go about your day.

Thank you for sharing your practice with me today,
