Hello,
I am Jasmine and I will be guiding you in a presence meditation.
Go ahead and get comfortable in your seat.
With a focus on your breath,
Allow yourself the opportunity to be here in the moment right now.
If you are able,
Deepen your inhales and lengthen your exhales.
Inhale Exhale Inhale Exhale Exhale Inhale Exhale Continue on your own for a moment in that same pattern.
Deep inhales and long exhales.
Remember,
You are here right now.
Any thoughts that are not here in the moment,
Note them and release them.
Allow your breath to return to its normal flow,
In and out without your control.
Bring your focus to the space you are in right now.
Listen very carefully.
What do you hear?
What can you smell?
If it is helpful,
Take a deep breath in,
This time noting the sense in the air.
What can you feel?
Either within your body or maybe if you reach out in front of you,
Touching an object,
What does it feel like?
If your eyes had drifted closed,
Gently open them now.
Take a look around you.
What do you see?
Look up,
Down and all around.
What is there in the space you are in?
In your mind or out loud,
Repeat,
I am here right now.
Again,
I am here right now.
Take one last deep breath in and with a loud whoosh release it.
Thank you.
