Welcome to a work-life balance meditation.
My name is David and I will be your guide today.
Find a comfortable place where you can listen to this recording.
Let's bring awareness to our breathing.
Listen to your breathing as you breathe in and breathe out.
Breathe in Breathe out Breathe in Breathe out Feel how the air feels your lungs and stomach.
Breathe in Breathe out You can touch your belly or chest to concentrate in these areas.
Let's do it for a few more times.
Breathe in Breathe out Breathe in Breathe out By focusing your breath you focus in life.
By breathing in and out we can experience the most incredible gift we have which is being alive.
We are able to experience her presence by just breathing.
As you relax deeper and deeper with your breathing,
Imagine you are in a green open space.
You are seated in the middle of a green field surrounded by wild flowers and trees.
Take time as you breathe in to feel into the space.
This is a warm day and the sun is shining,
Just about the perfect weather for you.
You can feel the warm wind slightly touching your skin,
As if it was saying,
Welcome to be here.
You can see the green around you.
You can smell the grass and plants that bring their essence with the smooth wind.
You are enjoying the moment.
You can feel it,
You can see it,
You can hear it.
As you are enjoying the moment,
You find a leaf on the ground.
This is a large beautiful leaf similar to a maple leaf.
You pick it up and start observing its colours and shape,
Feeling the texture and smelling its scent.
Then you notice that the leaf is a leaf,
It's not a flower,
It's nothing else.
However,
The closer you look at it,
The more the leaf is revealing its true nature.
We start looking at how the leaf connects to its tree,
And how the tree unfolds in front of us,
Showing us its branches,
Its leaves.
Then we notice the tree is connected to the ground and it is so high we can see it connected to the sky.
Then we experience the Then we experience,
Feel,
See,
Smell and taste the connection with everything.
The tree connects us not only with the earth,
But also with the sky.
The tree is connected to the ground,
And it is so high we can see it connected to the sky.
Then we experience,
Feel,
See,
Smell and taste the connection with everything.
The tree connects us not only with the earth,
But also with the sky,
The sun,
The clouds and all around us.
We are all connected.
We are all one.
And you can feel the connection inside your body,
Inside your heart.
As you breathe in,
The plants,
The trees,
The sky,
The sun and clouds breathe.
We are all connected.
We are all one.
Slowly,
An inspiring,
Loving feeling from the centre of your chest starts to grow,
Becoming bigger with every breath.
With every breath,
We are more connected to all.
With every breath,
We are sharing with all.
With every breath,
We are all.
Stay with this feeling for a few moments.
Enjoy the feel.
Enjoy the sound.
Enjoy the view of this moment.
And now if you can,
Repeat in silence or out loud.
I am part of everything.
I am connected to all in the world.
I am grateful for being alive at this time.
I am grateful I am getting to know myself deeper and deeper.
I am grateful I can share my experience with others.
This is the right time and place where I am,
Where I can finally make a difference for myself and those around me.
Now,
Bring your awareness back to your breathing and your body.
Scan your body and see how it feels.
Keep on breathing.
Now,
Slowly you can start feeling your hands,
Your feet,
Your arms,
Legs and head.
This is connectedness.
This is what it feels to be you and connected to all at the same time.
Celebrate being present with all.
You can always come back to this meditation whenever you need it.
Be well,
Be safe and be grateful.
