To start our meditation, Sit in an upright comfortable position. Gently close your eyes and soften your face into a slight smile. Let's do three deep cleansing breaths in through the nose, Sighing out of the mouth. Today we're going to borrow a poem from Thich Nhat Hanh. I have arrived. I am home. I am now. I am here. I am solid. I am free. I dwell in the ultimate dimension. And now let's focus on our breath. Breathing in, We know that we are breathing in. Breathing out, We know that we are here. We know that we are breathing out. Breathing in, We're aware that we are breathing in. Breathing out, We know that we are breathing out. Breathing out, We know that we are breathing in. If your mind wanders during our meditation, Know that this is perfectly normal. This is what our mind does. When you realize that your mind has wandered, Smile and have a sense of mirth that your mind is simply doing what your mind does. Let the thought float off and refocus on your breath.
