Coming into a comfortable position,
Seated or laying down.
Call your attention to your breath as you exhale letting go of the residue of the day.
Softening,
Releasing.
Releasing.
Noticing the nuances of your breath.
Maybe you are breathing more dominantly through one nostril.
Perhaps you notice the breath's temperature or depth.
What does it feel like to breathe?
What else can you notice about your breath today?
Now,
Collecting your attention to the movement of your body as you breathe.
As you inhale there is a tender expansion.
And as you exhale there is a quiet contraction.
Continue to place a kind focus here on the movement of your body as you breathe.
This is your focus for the remainder of this meditation.
When the mind roams,
Gently guide it back to this tender movement.
If your attention has shifted,
Not a problem.
Leading the awareness back to the natural movement of your body as you breathe.
Feel free to stay here for as long as feels good.
When you're ready to exit meditation,
Take a few deep breaths.
And remember to keep a slice of the calm that you have found here as you move on with the rest of your day or evening.
