Hi,
I'm Jasmine.
Allow this meditation to bring you ease despite what may be going on in the world around you.
Find a comfortable seat and sit,
Allowing your body to relax.
Release the tension,
The weight of the chaos,
The fears,
The doubt,
The concern.
Take a deep breath in and allow your lungs to be filled with fresh air.
Hold that breath for a moment,
Allowing that air to fill each part of your body.
Now release.
With each of your next inhales,
Concentrate on nothing but the breath and sit here right now where one thing is for certain.
You are here.
Inhale.
Release.
Inhale.
Release.
Inhale.
Release.
One more time.
Inhale.
Release.
Allow your breathing to return to normal and be at ease as the words of this poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson comfort you.
This is my wish for you.
Comfort on difficult days,
Smiles when sadness intrudes,
Rainbows to follow the clouds,
Laughter to kiss your lips,
Sunsets to warm your heart,
Hugs when spirits sag,
Beauty for your eyes to see,
Friendships to brighten your being,
Faith so that you can believe,
Confidence for when you doubt,
Courage to know yourself,
Patience to accept the truth,
Love to complete your life.
This moment we are in right now is not worried about the next or concerned about the last.
It's here.
Take a moment of silence and enjoy being here.
Take a moment of silence.
Take a moment of silence.
Say out loud or in your head,
I find comfort in knowing this moment intimately.
I find comfort in knowing this moment intimately.
Together,
Let's take one last breath.
In and out.
Thank you for practicing with me.
May you be well.
