Greetings,
Sacred one,
Sacred brother,
Sister,
Friend,
Beloved.
Thank you for joining me today for a short,
Simple,
And sweet meditation.
Take a few moments now to find a comfortable seat,
Ensuring that you can relax while also remaining alert.
You may wish to put your hands into a mudra if you're comfortable,
You're in a position to do that.
One I'm using right now is for balancing the left and right hemispheres of the brain,
And it's simply putting all of the fingertips together,
So of the right hand and the left,
So that the left thumb and the right thumb are touching,
Etc.
Now let us be bathed in the now together,
Bathed in this precious now moment,
Remembering as we sit here in this comfortable position that there is no other moment except right now,
That ultimately this present moment is what is most real,
Most palpable.
And so together,
Let us arrive here and show up here in this moment,
This precious unique moment,
Just releasing all that happened before right now,
Allowing your day to fall away,
Setting everything to the side for now.
Become aware of your breathing.
For now,
Just noticing the natural rhythm of your breath.
Noticing how it feels to be here now,
Breathing inside of your body,
Your own unique experience.
Now we'll do some breathing,
More specific breathing together.
So beginning to deepen the breath,
Lengthening the inhale,
Lengthening the exhale,
And again,
Not pausing too much in between,
But allowing for flow of breathing.
You can let out sighs as needed,
Any noises or sounds that are coming through for you.
Letting your breath be long and deep.
Now as you inhale and exhale,
Bring your breath all the way to the top of your head in the inhale,
And all the way to the base of the spine with the exhale,
Allowing your brain to have the time and oxygen to scan your entire body as you breathe.
Up to the head,
Down to the base of the spine,
Or to the feet.
You can continue to deepen and slow the breath,
Still inhaling up to the head,
And exhaling to the base of the spine.
And on the next exhale,
You can allow your breathing to return to a more natural flow,
Still keeping your awareness on the breath.
Noticing how it feels now that we've done some deeper breathing together.
And taking a moment now as we close to just acknowledge the simplicity of the practice,
And to acknowledge the results that we get from breathing,
Remembering that the mind is intimately connected with the breath.
And when we can slow and deepen the breath,
The mind will follow.
I wish you great blessings for your journey within,
Blessings of love and light on your journey.
Thank you for joining me today.
Much love.
