Transcript

A three-minute meditation,

Body scan to cultivate mindfulness.

Begin by bringing your attention into your body.

You can close your eyes if that's comfortable for you.

You can notice your body seated wherever you are seated.

Feel the weight of your body on the chair,

On the floor.

Take a few deep breaths.

And as you take a deep breath,

Bring in more oxygen,

Enlivening the body.

And as you exhale,

Have a sense of relaxation more deeply.

You can notice your feet on the floor.

Notice the sensations of your feet touching the floor.

The weight and pressure,

Vibration,

Heat.

You can notice your legs against the chair.

Pressure,

Pulsing,

Heaviness,

Lightness.

Notice your back against the chair.

Bring your attention into your stomach area.

If your stomach is tense or tight,

Let it soften.

Take a deep breath.

Notice your hands.

Are your hands tense or tight?

See if you can allow them to soften.

Notice your arms.

Feel any sensation in your arms.

Let your shoulders be soft.

Notice your neck and throat.

Let them be soft.

Relax.

Soften your jaw.

Let your face and facial muscles be soft.

Then notice your whole body present.

Take one more deep breath.

Be aware of your whole body as best as you can.

Take a deep breath,

And then when you're ready,

You can open your eyes.
