So hi there, Welcome to the session this morning. So this morning I thought we'd just do some deep breathing exercises just to get ready for the day in a calm frame of mind. So to start off with just finding somewhere comfortable you can sit just to meditate as you usually would and then once you're ready and in position, Just starting taking some deep breaths in in through the nose and out through the mouth, In through the nose and out through the mouth. Just keeping doing this eyes still open, Just a soft focus on the room around you, The space around you, Awareness of the body, Any sensations you feel, Any sounds that are coming to you from your environment around you and then when you're ready with the out breath just closing the eyes, Just keeping the deep breathing going, Allowing your awareness to come into the breath, The rise and fall of the chest, Feeling the air coming into the bottom of the lungs, Right down into the whole abdomen and just continuing to breathe like this. Then starting to deepen even a little further as we breathe in, Hold, Breathe out, Rest and breathe in, Holding and breathe out, Rest and breathing in, Hold and breathing out, Rest and just continuing this cycle of breathing, Maybe echoing those words in your head as you go around or just letting go and feeling the holds and the rests, Allowing any thoughts that come up to just do their thing, Acknowledging them and then just letting them go and if they come back that's okay but letting them go where they want to go, Without judgment and without forcing and as you continue to breathe, Just imagining with every in breath a golden bright light like sunlight coming into the body with each breath, Bringing a brightness into the body and into the mind, Steadily filling up the body, Becoming brighter, Warmer, Full of love and joy and happiness and positivity and with every out breath, Just getting the feeling of blowing out the cobwebs, Breathing out what you're finished with, Breathing out what has served you and serves you no longer and breathing in, In its place, This bright golden light, Warmth, Sunlight, Feeling that fresh air flowing into the body, Feeling that old redundant air, Cobwebs everything, Getting blown out, Blown away with every exhalation and just continuing to breathe like this for a minute or two and now just letting the breath fall back to its natural rhythm, Releasing that focus, Releasing that control, Just letting the mind do what it wants, Wherever it wants to go, Releasing that visualization but keeping that feeling of golden warmth in the body, In the mind throughout the rest of your day and then just feeling the weight of the body again and the seat, Hearing some of the sounds around you, Once again coming back to the space, Coming back to the room and then with one big inhalation through the nose, Just gently opening the eyes again and one more deep exhalation and just coming back to the room around you and to the space around you and with that I hope that this has been useful today, That this can set you up for the rest of your day and I'd like to thank you for joining me today so have a lovely day, Thanks very much, Bye bye.
