Peace begins with me.

Find a comfortable seated position,

Placing your hands on your knees or in your lap.

Sit up tall,

Relax your body,

And close the eyes.

For this meditation,

We will have the palms facing up.

And we can start by bringing our pointer and thumb fingers together,

And silently saying the word peace.

Then bringing the middle finger and thumbs together,

Repeating begins.

Then bringing the ring and thumb fingers together,

Silently saying with.

And then finally the pinky and thumb fingers together,

And repeating the word me.

Let's try again.

Pointer and thumb finger together,

Peace.

Middle and thumb begins.

Ring and thumb with.

Pinky and thumb me.

So I'll provide the speed for two more rounds,

And then you silently go at your own pace.

Peace begins with me.

Peace begins with me.

Continue now on your own.

No matter what the mind does,

No matter how many thoughts arise,

Continue repeating,

Peace begins with me,

While moving the fingers.

Now,

Let go of the mantra,

Put the palms facing down on the lap,

And together let's take one deep breath in the nose,

And slowly out the mouth,

Gently beginning to move the body,

And when you are ready,

Open the eyes.
