Welcome to this guided meditation to calming your mind.
Allow yourself to land in a comfy seat or laying down,
Whichever feels natural and organic to bring your total being to stillness with effortless ease.
Now gently allow your eyelashes to interlace and your eyelids to softly kiss.
Bring awareness and spacious stillness to the ease of the breath.
May we all come here together to consciously meet and recognize our truth of being in spacious presence.
We meet here in the now to benefit ourselves and in turn all of humanity.
May this inquiry,
This meditation,
My use of words spread out wide to all corners of the universe and beyond to support each and every one of us here in settling and calming our minds.
I invite you to offer yourself a full body scan to bring the light and awareness into your physical,
Emotional,
Energetic and unexplainable bodies.
Observe any feelings,
Sensations and energetic vibrations that may be here throughout your being.
Now allow yourself to fully and utterly relax any tension,
Tightness,
The unease,
Any distractions or plans to rest easy deep in your being with freedom in inquiry and conscious,
Boundless self discovery.
Start to bring awareness and connection to your breath.
With effortless ease,
Deepen your awareness to this simple breathing exercise.
Breathe in slowly and deeply through the nose.
Softly pause and gently exhale this gorgeous breath out the mouth.
Inhale deeply again through the nose.
For a softening pause at the top of the breath,
Then gently and effortlessly soothe the air out.
One more time,
Inhale through the nose and a controlled exhale out the mouth.
Now just allow yourself to come back to the slow,
Natural ease of the breath without any force and allow your breath to land in its own rhythm.
Now we bring a deeper present connection into your being.
Follow the breath as you inhale through the nostrils and exhale it out again.
No need to trace it any further,
Just become aware of the air entering and exiting through the nostrils.
Become aware of the feelings and sensations around your nostrils.
Inhale and just relax a bit further into this experience.
Keep gently breathing and allowing each breath to occur naturally.
Feel your breathing become slower.
More calmer,
More easier.
Just allow your breath to fall back to its natural order.
As your relaxation is ingrained a little deeper,
A little further into the feeling of the now.
We're going to explore a more mindfully engaged practice.
Bring a deeper connection to the breath for a four count inhale beginning from the bottom pit of the belly.
Inhale belly rise,
Move up through the ribs,
Expand the back,
Open through the chest.
Gently exhale,
Soften the chest through the back,
Down the ribs and belly.
Move slowly here with presence following the breath,
Inhale again belly rise,
Up the ribs,
Seep through the back,
Landing in the chest.
Gently exhale release chest down the back,
The sides,
Softening the belly.
And more around just like that,
See if you can go a little deeper.
Inhale expand through the belly,
Rise through the sides,
Open the back and blossom in the chest.
Exhale soften release chest,
Back,
Surrender the sides,
Ground down belly.
And just allow yourself to come back to the slow natural ease of the breath without any force allowing it to land in its own rhythm.
Now I invite you to offer another scan throughout your being and all your bodies.
Notice the calming and relaxing aura that is felt.
Feel the difference as you float in the stream of consciousness compared to when you first began this meditation.
Slowly start to bring your awareness back into the physical.
Gently crack open your eyelids and introduce this more grounded,
Softer,
More present version of yourself back into the world with a relaxed,
More peaceful,
Calm mind.
Namaste.
