Hello.

Let's find a comfortable position and close the eyes.

Let's take these first few moments and settle in.

Begin to relax the shoulders,

The jaw,

And the belly.

Begin to allow yourself to be here now.

Let's take a breath together.

Deep inhale.

And exhale,

Let it go.

Again,

Deep inhale.

And exhale,

Release the breath.

Last time,

Deep inhale.

And exhale,

Let it go.

Notice how only a few moments of breathing consciously already begins to quiet the mind.

Over the next few moments,

Continue to breathe with awareness,

Recognizing the inhale and the exhale.

And exhale,

Let it go.

Let it go.

And exhale,

Let it go.

Begin to bring your awareness back to the present moment.

Come back to the place where you are.

Let's take a breath together.

Deep inhale.

Awareness of breath occupies the mind and quiets the mind and allows us to find and remain in the present moment.
