Hello everybody.
So this meditation is simply intended to be a short and sweet check-in.
So wherever you are,
Whether you're sitting in a chair or laying down or maybe take the time to sit up in a seated posture for a few moments,
And so you can really just tune in and stop.
So wherever you are,
Take the time to still your body.
Do what you need to do to just pause the physical movement of your body so that you can focus on what's happening within.
Take a long,
Slow,
Deep breath in through your nose and exhale it out your mouth.
And do that two more times,
Allowing the exhales to be just as important as the inhales and using this as a tool to just become even more present.
And after you've finished as many rounds of that,
That really feels good,
You can allow the mouth to close and breathe in and out through your nostrils.
So bring all of your attention to your breath.
Maybe you notice the breath at the nostrils or maybe you notice the breath at the belly or the chest.
But wherever the mind is,
Wherever the psyche is,
Let it come to your breath.
Begin to watch your breath so closely and so curiously.
Every single inhale and every single exhale.
And we'll do some breathing exercise.
So next time that you exhale completely,
Inhale to the count of four.
So next time you exhale,
Inhale two,
Three,
Four.
Exhale two,
Three,
Four.
Exhale two,
Three,
Four.
Exhale two,

Inhale two,

Exhale 2,

Sustain 2,
3,
4.
Huge breath in.
Exhale out the mouth.
Take a moment of pause.
Allow the mind to find your center,
Wherever that may be in your body.
And feel free to carry on with the practice.
Equal parts inhaling,
Exhaling,
And sustaining on both the inhale and exhale.
Feel free to do this at any point,
Even when you're standing,
Even when you're walking,
Even when you're cooking.
Just to find a time to be able to become aware of your breath.
And really just pause,
Stop,
Check in.
Well thank you for your time.
Take care as you transition,
However that looks.
